Tombag - robust duffel bags made in England

Tombag make duffel bags in East Sussex. Made from waxed canvas or tweed, there are three sizes and occasional limited editions. Their simple but robust design naturally has its roots in military kitbags. Tombag's founder, Stephen Caine, was inspired by the kitbags used by his grandfather who had served in the Royal Air Force.

I tried a small waxed bag. Beautifully made, it feels strong and unburstable while its vintage/military character means that it will only look better as it becomes worn and battered with use. It's easy to use either as a small holdall or worn over the shoulder using the canvas strap.


Depending on size, they're ideal for everything from gym to shopping and weekends away. With a simple closure system, there are no zips or locks to break. These are bags to be beaten around and still come back for more. See Tombag for sizes, prices and design choices.
