Everyone needs a good weekend bag. Even if you don’t travel on a regular basis, it’s still important to have at least one mid-sized duffle with space to fit everything you need for a few days away from home.
One of the great things about this Tommy Hilfiger Explorer duffle bag is that it could work for either a man or a woman. Though I’m sure there are some women who would scoff at carrying a blue and white striped tote, there is really nothing decidedly masculine about this bag.
It is probably best described simply as a nautical-inspired duffle bag. It’s nothing quite as overt in style as something like the Dooney & Bourke DB Sport Duck Tote, which has water-loving animals actually printed right on the bag. The Explorer, with its ticking stripe and dark brown trim, merely hints at that classic vacation-in-the-Hamptons look that Tommy Hilfiger often imbues into their creations so well.
That aforementioned dark brown trim is made from shrunken oil leather and outlines the top and bottom of the bag as well as connecting up the sides to the handles. Those two little straps are hardly convenient when carrying this size of duffle, though. The longer detachable strap makes toting the Explorer a less trying task and will suit you much better for quick runs through the airport.
