Pelle Tradizionale Cabin Bag

I have to admit to having a number of carryon bags in my closet, all for different reasons. There's one for work trips, and carrying all manner of gadgets including a MacBook, iPad and cameras, there's a smaller backpack which can be used at my destination if I am hiking or taking long excursions, and we have one just for camera gear. When travelling for leisure, however, it's nice to travel with something a bit different, and with some glamour in mind, and that's where a traditional leather cabin bag like Pelle Tradizionale from The Leather Travel Bag Company is ideal.

For a start, it's made in Tuscany from specially selected locally tanned hides, and available in four gorgeous colours - black, brown, dark brown and tan - all of which have a light, reflective sheen to the finish. Then there's the detailing. Outside there is contrast stitched webbing and leather-over-rope handles, which keep their shape over time, also overlaying web strapping with metal accessories on both sides of the bag, which really screams out "Italian Style". There is a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for convenience, with a sliding comfort pad, and anchor points which are both stitched and riveted for durability.

Turning to the inside of the bag, it's opened by way of double zip-pullers, running between rare, triple-stitched edge collars, and the zips extend fully to the base of the bag at each end offering easy access for packing. The interior space is also fully lined throughout with an easy-clean moisture resistant top quality synthetic, with a 25 cm zipped wall pocket for small items such as keys. The bag weighs around two kilos, and its overall dimensions are 54 x 25 x 30 cms.

This best selling cabin bag not only looks great, but is durable and easy to care for, and it will last for years with the application of some natural leather wax once in a while to keep the leather in good condition. If you're looking for a bag which is stylish and long lasting, with Italian flair, this is the one for you.
