When you’re carrying around a large assortment of awkwardly shaped objects – like an extra pair of shoes, library books, a laptop, and sunglasses – finding an appropriate bag can be something of a challenge.
And even though the duffel bag seems like the obvious solution, the options are often misses- American Apparel makes cute ones, but they’re a little flimsy for non gym-bag use. And Gucci did a duffel tote for fall, but we’re not about to drop $2,350 on the kind of bag you get for free when you participate in intramural sports.
When it comes to sturdy, attractive, and adorable carry-alls, we turn to Olivia Harris. In particular, the designer’s “Flap Hobo” in charcoal – a luxurious mid-size leather version of the classic duffel – just might be the perfect everyday winter bag.

This duffel is beautiful, but does it have a shoulder strap? Is it made in China?
