on a mission for the perfect weekender's duffle bag



so much like my friend N who managed to find a bag he really liked (a diesel, double duty bag with a fashion forward urban look of black and silver paint). i am searching for a perfect weekend bag.

something that's:
  • car and airplane (carry-on) friendly
  • simple, but modular (inside pockets would be nice)
  • high quality and long lasting
  • moderate in price ($200-400)
  • not leather
  • fashionable enough for the next five years
right now the front runner is monocle's porter boston bag. it has almost everything i want, but is a bit pricey. its in the $420 range. it has the porter brand behind it. porter is a strong bag brand in japan, know for smart design and durability. i think the monocle premium attached to the bag is what's pushing the price up, but then again it may be exactly what i'm looking for. so we'll see if i can't find something in $300 range, which would be awesome, but if not... i may end up getting this in the summer.
