Filson’s rich and illustrious pedigree as a manufacturer of high-quality clothing and accessories comes thanks to its century-long experience in the industry. Filson focused on rugged outdoor wear throughout the twentieth century, but its product range has significantly diversified to include hard-wearing and stylish briefcases, backpacks, and duffle bags.
Its newest release, the Filson Workshop Suede Duffle Bag, captures the brand’s essence, blending a classic and timeless design with handcrafted construction and the best possible materials. It has been made in the company’s central workshop in Seattle, Washington, and is a limited edition of just forty duffle bags.
The Filson Workshop Suede Duffle Bag is primarily made from roughout suede leather, which Horween Leather Company, based in Chicago, provided to Filson. Its beautiful texture and subtle patina lend the duffle bag a degree of elegance and refinement. For the interior, the smooth side of the leather’s hide further accentuates the luxurious feel, and special treatment during the tanning stages increases its maximum water resistance.
The handles are made of Vegetable-tanned Bridal Leather from Pennsylvania’s Wickett & Craig and secured with a heavy-duty ten-gauge solid brass zipper from YKK. These features combine to make the Filson Workshop Suede Duffle Bag a versatile and compact bag, elevated through subtle details and finished with a hand-stamped production number marking the limited edition.
The Filson Workshop Suede Duffle Bag is a compelling choice if you’re looking for a classy overnight bag or a special holiday gift.
