They were so lovely and helpful and prompt with my unusual inquiry which they were super in going out of thit way to facilitate. A truly allRound super assistance and quality manufacturers. Friendly Swedes IndeedThis bag is wonderful for several reasons. (1) It is VERY roomy. (2) It 'stands' up on it's own making it very easy to pack. (3) Although I have only used it a few times so far, the material seems extremely durable and is easily wiped clean. (4) And....I received a personal thank you (two of them) from this small company in Sweden asking how I liked it and extending an offer to 'come visit' their company when in Sweden.I must admit when I first used the bag, I searched for a hidden zipper at the top of the bag. (There isn't one.) I thought this was going to be a bust and I would have to return it. I am still using it and loving it. It FOLDS and CLIPS up neatly like a tightly wrapped package. I haven't used this as a checked bag on an airline but it is perfect for a weekend getaway!I recently followed up with the Seller about a problem I was having. I got an immediate response and they resolved my problem quickly and efficiently. This is a top-notch company with AMAZING products and OUTSTANDING customer service. I will definitely buy my next bag from them.This bag is a little larger than expected but I love it. The quality and color (hunter green) are just has described. In fact, the quality is better then expected. The vegan leather makes it easy to wipe clean and prefect for travel. I did not expect the bag to fit under the seat on the plane, but it fit perfectly. Do not over stuffing the bag or it might be a tight fit. I also took a road trip with this bag and it’s a good weekend bag. It has two zipper pockets on the outside and one pocket in the inside. Plus there are a few small phone, pen size or gum size pockets on the inside. I would recommend this bag. You make want to place a little travel caddy inside to help separate the large inside of the bag. The only thing I would have liked to see is more structure to the bag. I continued to shop around for other bags but have decided I love this bag design and for the price it’s perfect travel bag.I travel quite a bit for work and am obsessed with finding the right bag. I wanted a carry-on size bag that would fit my computer, a tangled mess of cords and chargers, a notebook, some pens AND my average-sized purse. Even better if it could also hold a bottle of water and a few other small items.Most bags made for computers can never accommodate a purse being crammed in along side the computer and I hate having two shoulder bags hanging off of me. This bag is the perfect size and shape to hold both.I have only one, minor issue - when it is full, the bag is just slightly too big to fit under some airline seats. However, the rubbery material makes it easy to cram in to already full overhead bins. Regarding the material, it is a huge benefit that it is flexible/soft but also more 'cleanable' than other soft-ish fabric bags. Being able to swipe the bottom with a hand-sanitizing wipe is great when your bag falls off the hook in the airport bathroom.I love this bag.I ordered this a few months ago for a trip to California. I wanted to use it a few more times before I wrote a review. I most recently used this as my main bag on a weekend trip, and it's great. The material is awesome, water resistant, and high quality. It also fits a lot. Being a girl, I tend to always over pack for trips and need multiple bags. This fit almost everything I needed and I only needed a small backpack for the rest of my stuff. I also had to carry this on my shoulder through the airport, and it wasn't bad. The padded part on the strap really helped.Customer service with this company is also awesome. When I got the bag, I got a handwritten note. They also followed up, again, with a handwritten note. You can tell they really care about the quality of their product and their customer happiness. No regrets here! I highly recommend this duffel!I purchased this bag for an international trip, and it traveled well. The material is pliable and durable like rubber, but smooth like suede. It has a unique but understated appearance which made it relatively easy to distinguish among all the similarly-sized dark bags on our tour bus. My husband, who purchased a highly-rated but much cheaper bag, wound up envying the padded shoulder strap on this bag, so we took turns carrying each others’ bags. The bag has no structure on the inside, which makes it a little messy inside, but that also maximizes how much stuff you can throw into it. The material will not show dirt and will be easy to clean. This is my second or third carry-on bag ever, and probably my last, because I think this bag will last twenty or thirty years. The sellers of this bag might be the manufacturers as well. They are very eager to please and sent nice notes.Really gorgeous bag, beautifully made, looks fabulous, material is a wow. But... I was looking for a bag in this style that didn't completely flop to the ground if it didn't have lots of stuff packed inside. So I was excited to read this sentence in the sales pitch: "Thanks to the sturdy fabric and reinforced bottom, it looks amazing even on days when you don’t need to stuff it to the top." Reality is that it needs to be stuffed to at least halfway to hold any sort of shape at all. I know that these types of bags are intrinsically floppy so I had been looking at ones with a 'doctor bag' style opening that does give some rigidity. But when I read the description above I thought that these guys had cracked the magic balance! One other small note: I found the handles quite thin so they were slightly uncomfortable when I did have a heavy load on a recent trip. I should also mention the wonderful personal service and notes from the company. They clearly care a great deal about their products so I do feel guilty about the less-than-glowing review. But sadly I have had to put this bag in the back of the wardrobe to gather dust so I felt it would be useful to share my comment in case anyone potential buyer looking for the same sort of thing that I was.***UPDATE*** The response to this review from The Friendly Swede has been amazing. Proof that this is a company that takes customer satisfaction very seriously indeed. They have been extremely open and constructive in their comments – very rare to find these days. Let me emphasise again that this bag is beautifully made and the material is gorgeous. If you are happy with the floppy style of these bags (as they all are) then this one is fantastic. And for those who want something more rigid like I do, they have pointed me at this other Weekender bag:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Friendly-Swede-Exclusive-Waterproof-Weekender/dp/B07K7T82VN/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8Ich habe meinen hübschen Schweden Nun seit einigen Wochen im Einsatz. Am Anfang war ich sehr begeistert Von der Optik und Haptik. Nach einigen Wochen kann ich nur sagen, dass die Haltbarkeit leider nicht so gut ist. Mittlerweile finde ich kleine Löcher in Oberstoff. Auch ein Reißverschluss von einem Seitenfach hakt. Für mich ist die Tasche im Alltag nur bedingt nutzbar. Wer seine Tasche liebevoll behandelt, und sie nicht nutzt um sie auch mal auf dem Fußboden abzustellen, für den ist sie eine hübsche Bereicherung. Für Beanspruchung, vor allem mit Kindern, ist sie eher weniger geeignet.Die Tasche ist wirklich sehr stylisch und chic, es passt sehr viel hinein- so wie von anderen auch schon beschrieben.Meine erste Tasche hatte einen sehr starken chemischen Geruch, der auch nach tagelangen Auslüften auf dem Balkon nicht ein bisschen verschwand.Ich habe daraufhin den Hersteller kontaktiert und den wirklich "nettesten Kundenservice ever" kennengelernt. Innerhalb weniger Tage habe ich eine neue Tasche erhalten und diese roch nicht ganz so stark, musste aber ebenfalls mehrere Tage ausgelüftet werden, bevor sie einen normalen neutralen Geruch annahm. Es sei noch angemerkt, dass ich nicht sonderlich empfindlich bin- aber der chemische Geruch ging einfach für mich nicht. Nun ist für mich alles Bestens und vor allem als Handgepäckstasche für den anstehenden Flug nutzbar.Allein der Service der freundlichen Schweden ist 10 Sterne wert- so nett, authentisch und kundenorientiert habe ich noch keinen Kundenservice erlebt. Wirklich toll- vielen Dank dafür!Alles in Allem- Kaufempfehlung!This bag is great for weekend trips. It's made of high quality material with both hand and shoulder straps for easy carrying. The bag fits enough items for a weekend trip and is very easy to clean. A word of caution, it's easy to damage this type of bag so I'd recommend taking care when using to avoid any damage. That being said, I'd highly recommend this product and would purchase again.Ich habe eine Weekender gesucht die gleichzeitig robust und wasserundurchlässig ist, da ich verschiedene Wassersportarten betreibe. Mit dieser Tasche habe ich die perfekte Kombination gefunden!!Sehr viel Platz innen und ein Außenfach mit getaptem Reißverschluss. Alles ist super verarbeitet und das Material ist sehr robust. Schmutz lässt sich ganz einfach nass abwischen.Geliefert wurde schön verpackt mit einer extra Schutzhülle, sowie einer persönlichen Grußkarte. The Friendly Swede ist sehr kundenfreundlich gibt einem das Gefühl ein einzigartes und hochwertiges Produkt gekauft zu haben, wo ich soweit nur zustimmen kann!Wem das Design der Tasche zusagt und wenn man keine 10 verschiedenen Innentaschen braucht kann ich diese Tasche wärmstens empfehlen!
