The Weekender: the one you can carry on
One of our best sellers and a signature AU piece. The Raincoat Cotton™ Weekender is large enough to pack for a weekend and small enough to carry on an airplane, with leather handles, a detachable shoulder strap, and pockets inside and out. Airline limits vary, so check yours before you fly.
The Duffle: holds a ton
The duffle shape lets you tuck something into every corner, and the full “U” zip opens all four corners. Choose the Raincoat Cotton™ Duffle in an Erin Flett print, or the Sailwax Duffle in waxed cotton with a chocolate brown lining. Both have a detachable shoulder strap and fit an overnight or a long weekend.
The Bogie: for packing heavy
The Sailwax Bogie is rugged, wax-infused cotton luggage, AU’s most durable fabric in a classic shape. It has leather handles, stainless rivets and an outside snap pocket, and it gets better with age. One customer told us: “My Sailwax Bogie bag looks even better now that it is worn in. It is the perfect size for all of my long weekend travels.”
Raincoat Cotton™ or Sailwax™?
Raincoat Cotton™ is laminated cotton in exclusive Erin Flett prints: durable, stain resistant and water resistant (not waterproof, so don’t leave it in a puddle). Sailwax™ is waxed cotton, the original mariners’ oil cloth, in Chestnut or Navy, and it wears in like your favorite jeans. Still deciding? Compare every bag in our size guide, or read the FAQ.
Don’t forget the dopp kit: Raincoat Cotton™, Sailwax™ and Harbour dopp kits are 6 × 9 × 4 in and nylon lined.
