This is a luxurious and very functional duffle bag that is just the right size for an overnight bag.  The bag is roomy, durable and attractive.  It is made in Italy and clearly reflects an intricate design that considers functionality, appearance and durability as all equally important.  It is just small enough to be used as a carry-on bag on flights while being roomy enough to be all you need for an overnight or weekend.  The fabric feels similar to soft leather but is sturdier and robust.  The leather handles and corners are securely stitched and quality leather.  The zippered corners buckle down to secure the bag and to minimize its length a bit.  It carries well with the handles and maintains balance.  The only item that might have improved it for me is if it included a nicely appointed and comfortable shoulder strap -- It has metal rings on each end that can accommodate such a strap being attached.
