    Quick Comparisons

    Leather or fabric?

    Leather looks smart, ages well and suits business or leisure. Our Castelijn & Beerens holdalls use Italian leather with an RFID zipped compartment. Fabric holdalls are lighter and easier to wipe clean.

    Wheeled or carry?

    Carry holdalls suit light packers on trains, taxis and hotel stays. Wheeled holdalls suit heavy packing and checked baggage, and ours suit a 20 to 23kg allowance.

    Flying? The Enrico Benetti 55cm holdall and the brown A. Eriksson leather holdall are compact enough that they may be accepted as cabin baggage. The 79L Brussels and 68cm Urban Track are checked baggage only. Airline limits vary, so check your airline's current rules before you fly.

    Holdall FAQs

    What size holdall do I need for a weekend away?

    For a weekend, a holdall of about 50 to 60cm is usually enough. Our leather weekender holdalls measure 51 to 56cm in length. For a few extra days, the 60L Samsonite Ecodiver gives you more room.

    Can I take a holdall as cabin baggage?

    It depends on the airline and your ticket. The Enrico Benetti 55cm holdall is listed as cabin-size, and the brown A. Eriksson leather holdall is described as cabin-compatible. The 79L Brussels and 84L Urban Track are for checked baggage. Check your airline's current limits before you travel.

    What is the difference between a holdall and a duffle bag?

    There is little difference. Both are soft, zip-top bags for travel and sport. "Holdall" is the more common word in Ireland and the UK, while "duffle bag" or "duffel bag" is also widely used.

    Which holdall is best for a ski trip?

    A large wheeled holdall gives you the most space and is easiest to move through airports. Our American Tourister Urban Track (84L) and Enrico Benetti Brussels (79L) are both wheeled and suit a 20 to 23kg checked baggage allowance.

    Are your holdalls waterproof?

    The Samsonite Ecodiver Duffle Bag has a water-resistant coating that protects against light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

    What leather holdalls do you sell?

    We stock leather weekend holdalls from Castelijn & Beerens and A. Eriksson. The Castelijn & Beerens holdalls are made from Italian leather with an RFID zipped compartment. The November also has a separate shoe compartment. The A. Eriksson holdalls have a detachable shoulder strap and zipped pockets. Some can be slid over a suitcase handle.
