The Leather Garment Bag
When it comes to garment bags, you have many options. Many travelers choose a leather garment bag for a feeling of luxury and durability. There's nothing like the aroma of a leather bag—a little spicy with a tabac scent imparted by the curing process, with a look both rich and subtle, a leather garment bag brings back the days of traveling to far-off places on the romantic Clipper ships. The leather garment bag is the perfect gift for the traveling graduate, businessperson or retiree who is finally taking that around-the-world cruise.
Leather is strong, unlikely to tear on sharp edges or to come apart from over-packing. (And we all overpack!) Seams are sturdy, and leather has the forgiving quality of being flexible without any hint of flimsiness. As the leather ages, your garment bag will take on a patina that only enhances its look, making it more appealing. Hauling it in and out of carry-on storage, bumping it down the runway or escalator, even leaving it in the monsoon while you search for a cab will contribute to its ultimate beauty.
Leather garment bags are available with wheels or without. For comfort and ease of travel, strong steel wheels and an expandable handle allow you to glide through the airport with your garment bag sliding along the floor. No heavy lifting required.
Unlike garment bags made of lesser materials, leather garment bags are sturdy enough to be handed down through generations of travelers. Every trip adds to their mystery and to the value placed on them by future voyagers.
