Our ancestors invented travel bags that Americans call "duffle" bags, and centuries ago European sailors started making sea bags out of a heavy cloth they also used to repair torn sails. It was made in Duffle, Belgium.The modern canvas is of high quality. The cloth is a good protection against sea spray, so it is standard practice to use the material to store personal and other things.

Like many men's fashion, GIS introduced the gear to civilians. Casual clothes were popular among California surfers in the 1960s. We eventually started adding belts and pockets. We flip them over to make it easier to get things out of the bag. They are becoming more and more widely used。

Today, we use them for everything -- gym, office, business travel. We made some good bags out of waxed canvas and full grain leather.So are many other great companies.But it's easy to forget the purpose of a nice bag.We hate to see that.

So wherever your bag comes from, the next time you pack it for a trip, make sure you do a bit of fighting, exploring, or exploring on the road.Keep a photo of your loved one, a bottle, a big bag, and some cash in that durable bag.Hit the open road or the open seas. And come back with a story your family would be proud of.
