Continental Leather Weekender

This is the most expensive bag in the range, and the argument for it is simple: it is the only one your children will fight over.

Crazy horse leather, cut heavy, in the barrel shape that luggage settled on a century ago and never improved. It arrives stiff and slightly formal. Six months of being packed, carried and put down in hotel rooms takes that out of it, and what is left is a bag with a surface no factory can reproduce and no two of which are identical.

A two-way zip runs the full length, so it opens flat on a bed rather than being dug into.

Why You'll Love It

Leather this heavy has a cost beyond the price: it weighs something, and it asks for a fortnight before it stops feeling new. What you get in return is the only material that genuinely improves with use. The corners will burnish, the handles will darken to the shape of your hand, and in ten years it will be worth more to you than it cost. Very little else you can buy behaves that way.
