CANVAS TRAVEL BAGS: THEY MAY BE LIGHTER, BUT PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR DURABLILTY AND THEIR LOOK
The advantage of having a canvas travel bag is that it is lighter than its leather counterpart, which is an important criterion to think about if you have to walk long distances. That being said, it is important to be cautious with respect to the resistance and properties of the canvas. Moreover, it would be unfortunate to sacrifice the esthetic component. It is entirely possible to buy a canvas travel bag that is both stylish, water resistant, and for which the durability allows it to age beautifully over time and thus increase in charm.
If your primary means of travel is the car, a hand-held travel bag is your best option, since you won’t have to walk long distances with it and it is easily stored in the trunk. Our Cabine travel bag is ideal for this situation. It is made with a magnificent cotton waxed canvas produced in the north of France. It is a canvas which was used for the renovation of the famous Jeep Willis MB collector - unique and water resistant, this canvas ages beautifully. (The blue Cabine travel bag is made from Lickwax Twill from British Millerain.) With a volume capacity of 37.5 liters, this bag is practical for a week-long trip for a lone traveller, or four or five days for a couple, as long as you don’t have too many specific clothes to transport.
It can also be carried over the shoulder, which is, in fact, a very good option if you are travelling by train or plane if you choose not to check it in. As the name suggests, you can bring it with you on bord. You can also place it on the back of a motorcycle.
