- Made to order. Click here for current turnaround time.
Bridgewater is our largest leather bag. We formerly did this style in a combination of waxed canvas and leather because it is just so big, but our founder and President said to the BRAVE staff - "I want the best bag we can make for weekend trips on my boat", so we decided to make him Bridgewater from our exclusive eco leather. The bag was never meant to be sold because it uses over 12 square feet of our most expensive leather, but it turned out to be so awesome we could not resist offering it as an online exclusive. Is it expensive? Yes... Is it totally beautiful? Yes... Is it the best duffle bag you can possible buy and will it last you your whole life? 100% - We guarantee it.
What is Vachetta? Vachetta leather is produced in a century old traditional pit tannage over 45 days using natural oils, waxes, and strictly vegetable tannins. 100% free of toxic chemicals. The effect of this tanning technique is unmistakable. The look, feel and even the smell of Vachetta leather is nothing short of spectacular.
