Heritage Duffle Bag
from £35.00

Designed for weekends away, countryside escapes and elegant overnight stays, our Large Heritage Duffle Bag offers generous space without compromising on style. Spacious enough for clothing, cosmetics and daily essentials, it pairs beautifully with the matching Round Packing Bag in the same fabric for a coordinated set.

Why not treat yourself to both?

Dimensions
40cm diameter base
50cm depth

Crafted in the iconic William Morris Strawberry Thief fabric in the cream colourway, this bag has a luxurious velvet-touch finish that feels as beautiful as it looks.

Thoughtfully designed for practicality, the interior features three pockets — ideal for your phone, tablet and smaller essentials, each secured with a Velcro fastening to keep everything safely in place.

The bag is drawn together with an 8mm navy braided cord threaded through 12mm solid brass eyelets, adding both strength and timeless character. A sturdy carry handle provides additional security and comfort when lifting.

Each piece is individually handmade, celebrating traditional craftsmanship and heritage fabric design.

Both sizes have a zipper seven eighths of the circumference for easy access and a handle across the top for easy carriage.

The small one is 20cms (approx.) diameter, 9 cms depth

The large one is 25coms (approx.) diameter, 11 cms in depth

The bags are ideal for make up, hair products and brushes, underwear, socks, T shirts, media cables, all your sewing/knitting needs and much more!

This is then all held in place with a drawstring pull to create a small but mighty circular pouch.
