Great gear is made for the unexpected, not the everyday. That鈥檚 why Tucker & Bloom鈥檚 was built to withstand rigors well beyond what you’d experience聽on a short trip to the countryside. Made from a ballistic nylon with a tighter weave than even the military uses in its flak jackets, this weekender can take the worst stabs, cuts, and abrasions you might stumble into.
Finished with vegetable-tanned leather鈥攁 more environmentally friendly process than traditional chrome tanning鈥攁nd secured with a heavy-duty, self-healing zipper, the Tucker & Bloom London Duffel is a lust-worthy bag that should last generations.聽
But the better story is the company itself. Patriarch David Bloom spent 30 years in the bag industry working for lux brands like Coach, Valentino, Hartmann,聽and others. After the fashion industry plummeted聽following September 11, 2001, Bloom floated from gig to gig before his son Case, then an aspiring artist, suggested they go into business together. Tucker & Bloom was born, and all their bags are now assembled at the team鈥檚 boutique factory in Nashville, Tennessee.
