Hi All,
Been contemplating getting a nice leather duffle bag/weekender and I've been looking at this company for awhile. Got this coupon code recently from an email since another bag I was looking at came back in stock. They seem to have pretty good reviews as a company overall and are more well known for their shoes. The bags themselves have few reviews online but their Aldgate briefcase seems to have a pretty comprehensive one here.
I contacted Herring Shoes and it seems the Buckland (as well as the Aldgate as mentioned in the review above) are manufactured by a UK company called Ashwood Leather. I'd assume they all are as apart from the Heritage Racing Bags their luggage offerings hasn't changed much in years. Company rep also said the leather used is full grain leather but didn't mention point of orgin. Keep in mind that because of this they're fairly heavy. The aldgate I inquired about weighed in at "just under 3kg" according to the rep. Regardless, for a full grain leather bag I'd say it's pretty cheap.
Bag | GBP | AUD With Shipping | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Buckland Holdall | £108.33 | $185.60 | ||
Aldgate Briefcase | £129.17 | $214.60 | ||
Euston Briefcase | £137.50 | $226.20 | ||
Enfield Messenger Bag | £91.67 | $162.40 | ||
Ealing Small Travel Bag | £62.50 | $121.80 |
List above isn't comprehensive but it includes the majority of the cheaper bags, If you're interested there are some more here
Nice bag but have you checked the dimensions as a weekender it's a little short.
