The Brown Buffalo Duffalo, 50L Travel Duffel with Shoe Compartment
The bag for the trip that has more than one kind of day in it. Boat in the morning, a change of clothes for lunch in town, dinner somewhere that expects a collar. The Duffalo carries all of it in one piece of luggage.
What separates it from a standard duffel is how it opens. A butterfly-style main compartment lays open for easy access rather than making you dig through a tube, so packing and unpacking works the way a suitcase works. 50 liters of capacity, and a full lining that wipes clean when the beach comes home with you.
The external shoe compartment is the detail that earns its place on a resort trip. Wet trunks, sandy sandals, or a pair of shoes up to a men's 14 go in their own space and stay away from everything else. There is a large zippered exterior pocket for the things you reach for at the gate, an internal zippered mesh top pocket, an internal sleeve for clothes or tech, and an ID sleeve on the outside.
Full-grain leather handles soften and develop a patina with use. The shoulder strap detaches and adjusts from 44 inches to 62 inches, grab handles at both ends make it easy to load overhead or into a car, and the whole bag weighs 3.9 pounds empty. IPX4 water resistance handles spray and rain.
Available in Ranger Green Ballistic, Ballistic Black, Black Grid, and Black Multicam.

About The Brown Buffalo
The Brown Buffalo is a California design house founded by Douglas Davidson, who spent more than two decades designing for Nike, The North Face, and Burton before building bags under his own name. Their bags are made in their own Southern California micro-factory, at a larger factory in Los Angeles, and with selected partners overseas. Capelle Miami picked The Brown Buffalo for their dedication and craftsmanship. Every stitch, seam, and zipper is chosen to last, and a bag that lasts is its own kind of luxury.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit in an overhead bin?
At 22 by 14 by 14 inches it runs larger than many airline carry-on limits, so check your airline before you fly. The end grab handles make overhead loading easier when it fits.
Is it waterproof?
It is water resistant to IPX4, which covers spray and rain. It is not submersible. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure.
What goes in the shoe compartment?
Shoes up to a men's 14, or dirty gear you want kept away from clean clothes. It is separate from the main compartment.
How does the butterfly opening work?
The main compartment opens wide rather than through a narrow top zip, so you can see and reach everything at once.
Can the shoulder strap come off?
Yes. The strap detaches and reattaches quickly and adjusts between 44 and 62 inches. Grab handles at both ends let you carry it without the strap at all.
What is the difference between the ballistic and sailcloth colorways?
CORDURA 1050D ballistic nylon is the denser, heavier weave. Challenge Sailcloth EPX400 is a 400D polyester face over a ripstop backing. Both carry a water-resistant coating and both are built to the same construction standard.
