J. Crew has teamed up with Manhattan-based leather goods company Wexler & Co. to create this exclusive duffle bag.
This is a gorgeous men’s bag, with an appealing age-worn distressed finish and antique brushed brass finish. These features make the duffle look vintage despite its tender years. The secure zippered interior is lined with moleskin and equipped with a large interior pocket. An adjustable shoulder strap, which extends to a massive 14 inch drop, is another practical perk.
Wexler & Co.’s familiar “Made in USA” tag points to the brand’s homegrown heritage. This is something the brand clearly takes seriously. Its leathers are sourced from Horween Leather Company in Chicago, one of the oldest tanneries in the United States.
This Wexler & Co. duffle will be exclusively released through J. Crew’s Soho Men’s store and Liquor store in New York City on May 31. At $1500 it’s certainly not cheap, but it would make a great investment piece for the future.
