As a trendy and innovative designer and manufacturer of bags and cases, WaterField Designs just introduced its stylish, Vitesse Duffel bag. The luxury company is based in San Francisco and targets the tech-savvy, consumer market. Their high-quality cases and bags are custom-fitted and cover a comprehensive range of products. You will find bags for tablets, smartphones, laptop computers, gaming devices, plus additional digital gear.

The new Vitesse Duffel from WaterField Designs has been designed for multiple uses, including travel, recreation or office use. The new 10.1 oz waxed-canvas and leather duffel bag is professionally hand-crafted.

What we like about this duffel bag is it blends both style and usability. The Vitesse Duffel bag is available in three different colors – Grey, Brown (tan) and Navy (blue). You can easily overstuff the bag to carry your travel, gym or work belongings. You can also simply fold it up or place it inside another bag or suitcase, to be used at a later time.

The bag’s material is made from waxed canvas. It is surprisingly lightweight but offers rugged durability. It weighs only 1.3 pounds (lbs). Whether you’re going on a weekend getaway or heading to the gym for some exercise, the Vitesse Duffel bag is the perfect accessory.

For travelers, it’s always a hassle to know whether your bag can be carried on the plane. No worries here. The duffel bag was designed to comply with international carry-on regulations. Simply place it in the overhead bin or under the plane seat.

The WaterField Designs founder is Gary Waterfield and when asked about their latest bag, he was quoted – “Inspired by the standard WWI soldier bag in both aesthetic and construction—simple but rugged—we upgraded the design with reinforced handles and additional pockets for modern day use. It’s so versatile—in addition to the gym, I take it on photo shoots, weekend excursions and even to the office.”

Once opened, you’ll quickly notice how spacious it is. There’s a large compartment that comes with two hanging zippered pockets ideal for your valuables. The dimensions of the bag are 17.25 x 10.25 x 11 inches. We love the premium leather handles that include non-slip, rubberized grips underneath for improved holding. There is also a removable simple shoulder strap made from naturally-tanned, thick, full-grain, brown leather. Its great when you have heavier loads and can carry the bag cross-body.

Since the bag is made with distressed waxed canvas material, as it ages it will and look more attractive over time.

Unlike most products like this that are made overseas, all products from WaterField Designs both designed and manufactured in San Francisco, California.

So if you are looking for a terrific looking bag that can be used for multiple occasions, consider the new Vitesse Duffel. It is available now for purchase exclusively from the WaterField Designs online store – www.SFbags.com The new bag is priced at $149.
