At $775 we recommend you have a few other bags in your repertoire first before looking into this but if you are in the market for a nice alternative to the ubiquitous messenger and weekender bag then the Aaron Barak Duffel is for you. Beyond it’s rich brown vegetable tanned analine leather, duffel structuring and woven lining the bag has antiqued brass hardware for a great vintage look.

After a month with this in tote we appreciate the individuality of the bag, handcrafted construction and the strong masculine look that can’t be confused for something you’d see from Banana Republic or J.Crew. The duffel has been perfect for our trips, abroad and gym alike. We look forward to the natural aging of the bag as it begins to patina. The Aaron Barak Duffel is about 20″ x 10″ in dimension.

What this means to you: This bag is certainly not cheap, but it is certainly justified in it’s price. Now, the only thing we need is to justifiably get a bigger paycheck.
