TOTES & DUFFELS

We've been committed to making products in the USA since our start in 1998. Back then, off-shore manufacturing was the prevailing trend, and many sewing shops in San Francisco were shuttered.

We wanted hands-on experience with the products we were making — from the idea phase to final production. We wanted to ensure things were done right, make changes on the fly, and iterate on the design as needed.

Our small-batch production fits the types of products we offer — well-designed, custom-fit items you buy for life. You may have to wait a while for us to make it for you, but you know it will be well-made.

With WaterField American-made gear, you get high quality, long-lasting products. All our designs are original, incorporating details you'll appreciate with each use.

We use only premium, full-grain leather for our bags and accents. It comes from the toughest part of the hide with the tightest grain so it's extremely durable.

Full-grain leather looks better and better as it ages, and your WaterField bag will develop a beautiful patina.

So many possibilities, so little time. WaterField Designs duffels and totes can be used for travel, for sport and recreation, or for business and weekend getaways.

We make a wide variety of duffel bag styles, from gym duffels and travel duffels, to weekender duffel bags, and packable duffel bags. 

While duffel bags and totes may not have the same level of organization as a laptop backpack or a brief, they excel at storing large quantities of gear thanks to their large main compartments. This allows them to be very versatile and work in almost any situation.
