The quilted fabric duffels from CindaB are attractive for their sinuous flower and geometric patterns in luscious color combinations, as well as their light weight — an unusual combination in a travel bag.
Available in several sizes, from a 16-by-9-by-9-inch Overnighter to a 24-by-14-by-14-inch Vacationer, the water-resistant poly/nylon bags are lined, have dual locking zippers, double-fabric shoulder straps, and multiple external and internal pouches and pockets.
Good news: They're machine washable.
