The Pick: The only weekend bag a gentleman ever needs

The iconic weekend bag is an absolute classic, and an essential possession for every well-travelled gentleman. The medium-sized bowling bag from J R Malletier is understated, stylish and endlessly useful; a gentleman’s best friend. Pack it for weekend jaunts to the countryside, stow it overhead on short-haul mini-breaks, and carry it with pride on business trips. Elegantly crafted from soft Italian pebble-grain leather, the bag will soften as it weathers, becoming an integral part of your wardrobe. With a removable shoulder strap, the bowling bag is also easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. For something a little special, you can customise the matching leather luggage tag with your initials.
