Why it's buy-it-for-life
Owners report duffels and weekender bags bought in the early-to-mid 2000s surviving 15-20+ years of heavy travel abuse, including international trips, checked baggage, and rough handling, before finally wearing out at the handles.

duffel-bag weekender quilted-cotton travel
I had one of their duffel bags that I got in 2002, and it lasted till last year with a lot of abuse.
Their weekender duffle is my favorite carry on bag.
My VB duffel I got in 8th grade died 2 years ago. It was 20+ years old... It went to 4 continents.
My suit case set, weekend bags, and sling backpacks have been all over the country with me since early 2010's.
I have my duffle from 2007 as well!!! Still looks brand new!
