"I haven't had a chance to use my bag yet but I'm looking for a reason to."
This quote is from a customer review responding to a duffle bag created for this particular brand. I quote it because it perfectly mirrors my thoughts on the duffle bag -- which is, what exactly are you supposed to do with them?
I have a small book bag which I use to carry whatever novel I'm reading. I can also store smaller items in the bag as well (hat, gloves, mobile devices).
If I need to carry more or larger items, the messenger bag works for me.
What I want to know is, what are people carrying in their duffle bags? Sure they look cool while doing the fashion blog walk, but I prefer to be hands free when on the move, and I imagine doing the one hand thing might irritate after a while.
Not knocking them.
If you have one, let me know what you're carrying in yours.

I have a slightly different LL Bean one which I use for work. Office attire and a rucksack is never a good look imo, and messenger bags annoy me with the way they constantly move and knock against your back and hips if you've got anything heavier than a pair of socks in them.
Usually carrying : half of my lunch, a book or magazine, tissues, floss, and an umbrella.
Yeah, the knock against the hip is a little annoying.
So is this your M-F, 9-5 bag? If so, how long is your commute, and at any point does it get tiring carrying it around?
btw...the wool trench in that pic is definitely getting copped.
Yeah, the 9-5 bag. Commute depends on whether I'm using public transport or in a car, but there isn't much walking involved in either case and it's easier with a duffle bag that I can just pick up and put down than a messenger bag or rucksack which I've gotta pull off my shoulders/over my head when I'm sitting down on a bus/or in a car.
You've done a good job extolling it's usefulness.
Will pick one up at some point. See how it works for me.
Normally use mine for carrying body parts/storing my tools a la Dexter etc
Great...now the Dexter theme song is stuck in my head.
