Very pleased with my purchase -- a very solid bag that holds its shape well, while still being able to 'smoosh' it to squeeze into the smallest jet overhead storage....high quality leather and stitching....classic look. Frankly, I'd assumed because of the relatively inexpensive price that it was made somewhere in Asia, but it apparently is actually made in Italy. Literally had a guy on the plane tell me that it was a really nice bag as I was boarding! The only 'downside' is that because the leather is fairly thick, the bag is not particularly light; still fairly easy to carry with a comfortable strap (though I wouldn't want to have to walk a few miles with it as a day bag). Buy it and don't look back.Looking for a simple, yet masculine travel bag? Something you can quickly pack and carry along on your weekend getaway (or business trip, perhaps)?

The construction is solid and the materials are of premium quality. I am really glad that I picked this bag to purchase!!This bag feels rich. Not blingy, or $$$, but rich in thickness, color, texture, heft, and the solidity of the construction and hardware. Exactly the bag I've wanted for a long time.I hesitated for a while, because I already have a high-quality Italian-made weekend bag that I bought a few years ago, which is similarly heavy and durable, but not this rich brown color. That bag listed at 450 retail, and I picked it up for 250 on year-end clearance. This one, at 199 here, is slightly bigger, much more refined looking, and has a sturdier strap. I'm glad I got it.I bought this bag for a trip and was expecting a $100 leather bag. I received a well packaged, super high quality leather duffel bag that should probably cost closer to $400. Full grain leather means full grain. It’s thick, like what you’re expecting from a high end leather bag company. I can’t wait to see how this wears in! This bag will outlive me, I’m sure of it. I totally wasn’t expecting this level of quality, but I’m glad it’s what I got. If I ever need another leather bag, I’m coming to see Polare first.Fantastic bag!. I love good leather and ive never bought anything leather online until now. I was skeptical at first but I really liked the classic look of the bag and the dark leather. So I decided to go ahead with the purchase and I could not be happier! The leather used to make this bag is beautiful and very thick. Its a heavy, well built bag and looks like it will definitely hold up for years of use. Time will tell of course but with the stitching and quality of leather used to make it is top notch. So, there's my review. I read reviews constantly before making any purchase and I would not recommend anything I didn't feel was worth every penny but I cant find anything about this bag that isn't perfect. I hope this helps everyone. Take care...First of all: The style.The style of this duffle bag is unique, very classy, reminds the old school movies. Simple in the design and essential. Not many pockets and zippers.Second: The quality.In the moment that I touched with my hands I realized that is not just a matter of style, this product is a combination of many details like the quality of the leather, the zippers that seems to be very solid, the craft of it in general.I can’t see the hour to travel with it!As many people before me reviewed positively this bag, I agree with all of them. It’s a nice investment that will make the difference and it’s worth every single dollar.Excelsior, Polare.After looking for duffle bags and being disappointed with all the canvas ones, I found this one. This Polare leather duffle bag is simply amazing in every way. First, just the sheer beauty of it to the eye with it's dark brown retro finish is breathtaking. Once you get closer, you can smell the high quality buttery soft leather used and start to see how impeccably well this duffle bag is put together. The stitching is tough and done to perfection, and along with all the heavy-duty gold accented hardware, this beautiful bag will last for years. Across the top, you will find a heavy-duty zipper with 2 pulls made of leather. Inside, you will find a zippered compartment along with small sewn pockets on one side, and a large laptop pocket with Velcro closure on the other. The handles are of thick leather and include a snapping leather wrap to keep them together. The shoulder strap is also of high quality with rotating hardware that will keep it from getting tangled and twisted. Not only is this Polare duffle bag simply beautiful to look at, it was designed with much thought on its longevity and practicality. If you are after something that is amazing in every way, I highly recommend checking out this beauty from Polare.God the product, and as you can see by the pictures when compared to a bill, the bag is pretty big, which is good for me. It is quite spacious, but with size comes a price, the weight.IMO its a great VFM. I recommend to hydrate the leather and protected. The pictures show the bag already hydrated and protected.It's a great weekender bag, but I am unsure if Airlines would allow it as carry on due to the size; I guess I'll have to wait until this travel ban is over and done with to give you guys an update.Nice longer weekend travel bag. Large size to accommodate lots of extras.it has a great leather smell. The leather and stitching looks durable and so far with a few road trips, it was no signs of material or construction failure.This is my first leather duffel bag as all my others are made from cloth. The leather has no stretch like my other bags. I am guessing it is a less expensive (less soft) so even though there is no stretch in the leather when packing lots of clothing, I know it is durable.The bag is made of excellent quality leather. A bit heavy but that is to be expected. It's perfect for an overnight bag or for short trips, and works great with packing cubes. Had no issues using it as carry on baggage. Was hesitant at first as I wouldn't usually spend this amount for a bag, but I wasn't disappointed and I expect the leather will remain in great shape for a long time.Purchased the black one!Good quality and very durable zipper. It definitely last for long time use. There were small bump on the strap as a result of human minor error. But other than that all good. The black leather is shiny. It looks better as it ages. The brown color is more rustic looking I think.Dislike: I wish the stitches were black (just personal preference)Do I recommend it? Definitely yes!
