Black Friday Leather Holdalls

What is a leather holdall and how is it different from a duffel or weekender bag? 

A leather holdall (also called a leather travel holdall) is a versatile large zip-top bag with handles and often a detachable shoulder strap. In British English, a “holdall” refers to a large, soft sided bag used for travel, gym, or weekend getaways. While “duffel bags” often describe cylindrical or soft shapes, a holdall usually has a rectangular base and structured form. Many customers use these terms interchangeably. 

What styles of leather holdalls are included in your Black Friday collection? 

Our collection features a variety of leather holdalls and travel bags: classic weekender holdalls, carry-on holdalls, overnight bags, gym leather holdalls, cabin-friendly leather holdalls, and premium leather duffel-style bags. Each is crafted to combine luxury and function. 

What type of leather is used in these leather holdall bags? 

We use high-quality genuine leathers such as full-grain leather, top-grain calf leather, and treated pebbled leather. These materials deliver durability, elegant finish, and a natural patina over time — ideal for long-lasting leather travel bags. 

How do I choose the right size leather holdall for travel or weekend use? 

Assess packing needs — consider clothes, shoes, toiletries, electronics. Check internal dimensions — ensure your items fit comfortably without stressing seams. Mind airline carry-on limits — many of our holdalls are designed to meet cabin baggage size constraints. Look for organization features — internal pockets, dividers, and secure zip closures help with usability. Weight balance matters — leather is heavier than fabric, so a well-structured, efficiently designed bag is better for comfort. 

Are leather holdalls suitable for everyday and frequent travel? 

Absolutely. Our premium leather holdalls are built for daily use, business travel, weekend breaks, gym use, and more. You’ll get reinforced seams, strong hardware, sturdy handles, and robust zips to handle regular wear and tear. Durability, style, and proper features (like pockets and strap options) are key qualities for good leather holdalls. 

How should I clean and maintain my leather holdall to extend its life? 

Wipe off dust or surface dirt regularly with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Use a mild leather cleaner or conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. If the bag gets wet, let it air dry naturally — never use direct heat or sunlight. Store the bag stuffed (with tissue or soft cloth) to preserve its shape, in a dust bag or cool, dry area. Avoid abrasive surfaces and chemicals that may damage the leather finish. 

Will the leather darken or change over time? 

Yes — as with high-quality leather goods, your holdall will develop a patina and character marks, and may darken slightly in areas with frequent use or exposure to oils and light. These natural ageing effects are part of the charm of owning genuine leather. 

Are these leather holdalls water-resistant or waterproof? 

Leather is inherently water-resistant to a degree, especially when treated. Many of our holdalls include protective finishes. However, they’re not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray and, if exposed to moisture, drying the bag naturally and conditioning the leather afterward. 

How do you handle shipping, delivery, and returns for Black Friday leather holdall orders? 

We ship from the UK and offer both domestic and international delivery. During Black Friday, please allow extra handling time due to higher order volumes. Our standard return and exchange policy applies even to sale items, unless a product page states otherwise. If the holdall arrives damaged or doesn’t meet expectations, contact us within the returns window for assistance. 

Can I personalise a leather holdall? 

It depends on the style. If the listing doesn't offer personalisation then maybe think about adding initials to a leather luggage tag. Personalised holdall bags make excellent gifts and add bespoke flair. Always check the product page for personalisation availability and expected lead times.
