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.
"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.
