Forty-two litres of full-grain, vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather, cut and stitched by hand in England. The Weekender pairs old-world materials with modern travel logic: a protected 16-inch laptop sleeve, two waterproof shoe compartments, and a hidden passport pocket, all under solid brass hardware welded in London. At 55 cm it meets IATA carry-on rules, and Bennett Winch backs it with a lifetime promise. Leather this heavy starts stiff and earns its patina with use, which is the point of buying it once.
