  • About Duffle Bags & Holdalls

  • Why Case?

When it comes to versatile luggage solutions that adapt to your travel needs, duffle bags and cabin holdall bags stand out as top choices. These bags are not only practical for a variety of travel scenarios but also add a touch of style to your travel gear. 

Duffle bags, also known as holdalls, are large cylindrical bags typically made of sturdy, durable materials. Duffle bags and holdalls are the versatile champions of the luggage world. They were originally named after Duffel, a town in Belgium where the thick cloth used to make these bags was produced. Today, duffle bags have evolved into versatile luggage options suitable for all kinds of travel – from weekend getaways to gym sessions and business trips.

Duffle bags and cabin holdalls are characterised by their cylindrical shape and flexible material. They typically come with a zip closure running along the top of the bag, two handles for easy carrying, and sometimes a longer strap for wearing across the body.

At Case Luggage, we're proud to offer a diverse selection of high-quality duffle bags and holdalls. Our collection caters to all – whether you're a minimalist who values simplicity or a fashion-forward individual seeking a statement piece.

Our duffle bags and holdalls balance style, durability, and functionality. Crafted from robust materials, they're designed to withstand the rigours of travel. Their spacious interiors provide ample room for your essentials, while various pockets and compartments keep your belongings organised.

Cabin Holdall & Duffle Sustainable Options: For The Eco-Conscious

In line with growing environmental concerns, we also offer sustainable duffle bags and holdalls. These eco-friendly options are made from recycled materials and produced through processes that minimise harm to the environment.

When choosing a duffle bag or holdall, consider the following factors:

  • Duffle BagSize: The bag should have enough space for your belongings without being overly bulky.
  • Duffle Bag Material: The material affects the durability, look, and maintenance of the bag. Consider options like leather for a classic look and durability, or nylon for lightweight and easy-to-clean benefits.
  • Duffle Bag Design: Look for a design that suits your style and purpose. Some bags come with extra pockets for organisation, while others offer a minimalist design.
  • Duffle Bag Mobility: Opt for bags with sturdy handles and optional shoulder straps for comfortable carrying.

How Should I Care For My Duffle Bag Or Holdall?

Care instructions can vary depending on the material of your bag. Generally, it's advisable to clean your bag with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposing your duffle bag or holdall to extreme temperatures & harsh chemicals.

We offer a wide range of duffle bags and holdalls suitable for air travel. Our collection includes compact options that fit within most airlines' carry-on size restrictions, as well as larger bags perfect for checking in. Brands like Tumi, Bric's, Thule and Ted Baker offer high-quality, stylish, and durable duffle bags that can make your journey more comfortable. It's always recommended to check with your specific airline for their luggage size and weight restrictions before you travel.

We offer a variety of duffle bags and holdalls in different sizes. Some of our duffle bags are compact enough to meet most airlines' carry-on size restrictions, making them an excellent choice for travellers who prefer to travel light or for short trips. However, we also have larger duffle bags that provide more packing space and are more suitable for checked baggage.

It's always essential to check with your specific airline for their carry-on baggage size and weight limits before you travel. This way, you can select a duffle bag that fits within these limits and meets your travel needs.

What Is The Largest Duffle Bag That You Are Allowed On An Airline?

The largest duffle bag allowed on airlines largely depends on the specific airline's baggage policies. Most airlines have a maximum size limit for checked luggage, which is typically around 62 linear inches (length + width + height).

From our flagship at 170 Piccadilly to Harrods and Heathrow, Case has advised travellers for over a century, and duffle bags and holdalls remain one of travel’s enduring formats. As an official UK stockist working directly with established global manufacturers, we do not simply list brands. Every holdall in this collection is selected against strict material integrity and reinforcement standards to ensure long-term structural reliability.

Duffle Bags & Holdalls reward disciplined construction. Because they flex rather than rely on rigid framing, stress concentrates at strap anchors, zip curves, seam junctions, and unsupported base panels. Under sustained load, inadequate stitching can separate, and shoulder carry points can distort. These are predictable failure zones in soft travel bags.

Across decades in this category, we have seen materials evolve from heavy canvas to high tensile ballistic nylon, and stitching reinforced through bar tack junctions and stabilised base structures. That product knowledge informs how we curate this collection, prioritising structural resilience over short-term design appeal.

This guarantees:

  • Authentic duffle bags and holdalls supplied through authorised channels
  • Full manufacturer warranties
  • Recognised aftercare support
  • Verified customer trust

Our evaluation focuses on integrity, hardware durability, and long-term performance under strain. In soft travel bags, flexibility must be engineered with reinforcement discipline, not assumed.
