San Francisco manufacturer, Waterfield Designs, introduces the Vitesse Duffel, a spacious, uncomplicated weekender bag in rugged, water-resistant waxed canvas suitable for the gym, office, and weekend pursuits. The Vitesse Duffel follows the Vitesse Backpack, Sling, and Vertical Musette in WaterField's weekly August additions to its Vitesse Collection of classic waxed canvas bags with a modern twist.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- San Francisco-based WaterField Designs announces the Vitesse Duffel, the fourth and final addition this month to the company's Vitesse Collection of classic waxed canvas bags with a modern twist. The new holdall incorporates heritage waxed canvas, premium full-grain leather details, and a straightforward design to create a functional multi-use bag brimming with style.
"My Vitesse Duffel is so flexible that it has become a wardrobe staple. I take it to the office and the gym mid-week, and it's my carry-on and road trip bag on vacations and weekends," said company owner, Gary Waterfield. "The few pockets keep my small stuff handy, and the spacious main compartment isn't over-organized, so I can pack it with anything from bulky bike equipment to clothing and my WaterField Travel Toiletry Bag."
The Vitesse Duffel's unlined, thick waxed canvas showcases the beauty of this traditional textile that dates back to the 15th century when sailors first greased or oiled canvas for water resistance. A spacious main compartment includes two open organizational pockets and closes with YKK waterproof zippers that further safeguard contents against the elements. The new durable, lightweight duffel will develop a handsome patina as it serves for decades.
A pleated front pocket, reminiscent of those on WWII army jackets, expands to hold a wallet, keys, sunglasses, phone, tickets, or whatever items need to be accessed quickly. A dual-layer flap secures the pocket with a paragliding-style buckle that adds a modern touch to an otherwise classic aesthetic.
Thick, full-grain leather handles with hidden, no-slip patches are long enough for a hand or shoulder carry, and a wheeled suitcase passthrough and an optional shoulder strap add flexibility for dashing through airports or carrying the duffel on longer hauls.
Features:
- Made-in-USA, 15-oz, water-resistant waxed canvas from a reputable mill that has produced the textile since 1930.
- Spacious main compartment holds everything from odd-shaped equipment to weekend getaway clothes and travel essentials.
- Two interior organizational pockets keep smaller items separated from main contents.
- YKK waterproof zipper opens from either side with custom metal zipper pulls that can be locked together with a third-party travel lock (not included).
- Metal paragliding-style buckle secures a front, expandable, quick-access pocket and operates easily with one hand.
- Two large end pockets provide convenient access to snacks, water bottles, tickets, and more.
- Four carry options support flexible uses: long leather handles with hidden no-slip patches for a hand or shoulder carry, a suitcase passthrough, and an optional detachable shoulder strap.
The Vitesse Collection displays quintessential American craftsmanship. The cotton-based canvas is treated with food- and pharmaceutical-grade wax to create lifelong resistance to inclement weather while remaining breathable. All WaterField bags are handcrafted to meticulous standards in the company's San Francisco sewing studio. The Duffel is the final weekly addition to WaterField's Vitesse Collection this month following the Vitesse Backpack, Sling, and Vertical Musette.
