The Duffel Bag is a classic, non-rigid bag design with a typical top zipper closure. While they used to be carry-on luggages, gym or weekend bags, bag makers are now crafting smaller versions of them to become cute, versatile bags to carry your daily essentials in style. You can carry them as a tote, shoulder bag, on your back or simply, the classic crossbody way. We're most excited to bring to you the construction process of our Duffel Mini ダッフルミニ now in a confident intermediate sewing workshop. Construct yours today in a fabric and accessory colour of your choice!
