A Legacy in Every Stitch

At Oxhide, we don’t just make luggage – we craft heirloom travel companions. The Voyager Duffel represents three generations of leatherworking mastery, built for adventurers who appreciate:

• The soul of authentic craftsmanship (each piece bears the maker’s mark)

• The poetry of natural materials (only full-grain hides with visible life stories)

• The quiet confidence of understated luxury (no logos, just impeccable proportions)

Material Truths

✔ Buffalo Leather Shell

• Sourced from best  tanneries practicing century vegetable tanning methods

• Tobacco brown hue achieved through 28-day oak bark infusion

• Left “uncorrected” to showcase natural scars and grain variations

✔ Steerhide Accents

• Hand-selected for structural panels (10% thicker than standard leather)

• Dry-milled for a tactile, pebbled texture that resists scuffs

✔ Brass Hardware

• Sand-cast using 19th-century foundry techniques

• Each buckle develops a unique blue-green patina over time

Dimensions That Matter

*Precision-engineered for real travelers:*

• 11″ Height – Fits neatly under airplane seats

• 19″ Length – Maximizes packing capacity without exceeding carry-on limits

• 10.5″ Depth – Structured enough to stand upright, supple enough to compress

Weight Distribution:

• 4.3 lbs empty (lighter than comparable full-grain leather duffels)

• Center of gravity optimized for shoulder carry

Functional Poetry

The Lever-Action Buckle System

• Inspired by 1920s steamer trunks

• Engages with satisfying “snick” audible in quiet hotel lobbies

• Requires no break-in period (unlike cheaper brass replicas)

The Strap Architecture

• Woven nylon core wrapped in bridle leather

• Distributes weight evenly across the collarbone

• Adjusts silently with military-grade slider hardware

Interior Sanctum

• Unlined main compartment (lets the leather breathe)

• Secret document pocket behind back panel

• Key fob with oxhide-tanned lace

The Oxhide Difference

Why This Isn’t Just Another Duffel:

1. Time-Tested Assembly

   • 18 oz leather requires no structural stitching (unlike thinner “luxury” bags)

   • All stress points reinforced with kangaroo-hide thread

2. Travel-Validated Design

   • Tested across 6 continents by our design team

   • Won’t tip when placed on uneven surfaces

3. Patina Guarantee

   • Develops more character in first 90 days than most bags do in 10 years

   • We’ll refinish the hardware once for free
