Product Description
Ready for your next voyage, this bag is named for Amerigo Vespucci: the 15th-century Italian navigator who recognized the Americas as distinct continents previously unknown to explorers of the time. It’s made of genuine leather with a duffel silhouette, double reinforced handles, and a removable shoulder strap Read More
I bought this bag in the first drop and I find it just satisfactory in quality.
The bag is made with two wider pieces of leather on each side and the slimmer strips at the center. The leather quality itself appears to be good, but the leather obviously came from at least two different hides, one is more supple and thinner and with the more prominent grain than the other.
Makers strategically positioned leather pieces in a chess pattern on both sides of the bag, so it wouldn't be too obvious. It doesn't look very noticeable from outside but using the bag you can see and feel the difference.
I'm confused about interior pockets. The picture with the lining that is printed shows two slip pockets. The specs list only an interior zipped pocket, which is visible in a pic for a bag with _plain_ lining. Does the bag have both a zipped pocket AND two slip pockets on the other side of the interior? Or do the bags with plain lining (those that are one-color on the outside) have only a zipped interior pocket, while the double-colored bags that have printed lining have only two zipper-less interior pockets?
The real question is...
Why there are two kinds of interior design? Which is which?
I would want to buy the one without any interior writing, but I am not sure of the interior design on the green, or on the black and brown...
Thanks if you have some insights! :)
Yes, thanks, it is helping a lot!
Both types have similar material(structure, composition wise)? Which interior of the bag do you think would be more appropriate for gym using? (Easy to clean with a damp cloth...)
Thank you again! :)
Woot-ZeeHi! The material is exactly the same with the exception of the design so both easy to clean with a damp cloth. I would say that the bags with the interior design lends themselves to a more sporty active look so you may want to consider that option.
