Is the Dakota weekender carry-on size?

At about 12.5 inches high and 8 inches deep, it is sized like a typical carry-on duffel. Confirm the exact length and your airline's limits before relying on it as a cabin bag.

Yes. Mark and Graham describes it as leather, and the brown finish is the kind that darkens and scuffs with use.

Does it have a shoulder strap?

The bag is a soft-sided weekender with carry handles. Check the listing details for whether a removable shoulder strap is included.

How much can it hold?

It suits a two- to three-night trip: a change of clothes, a dopp kit and a pair of shoes. It is not built for a week of packing.

How does it compare with a nylon duffel?

Leather looks better and lasts longer but weighs more and needs care. Nylon is lighter, wipes clean and costs less.

How should I care for it?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and condition the leather a few times a year. Store it stuffed and in a dust bag to hold its shape.

Our take on the Mark and Graham Dakota Leather Weekender

The Dakota is a full-grain leather weekender from Mark and Graham, built as a soft-sided duffel for two- to three-night trips. It measures about 12.5 inches high and 8 inches deep, so it holds a change of clothes, a dopp kit and a pair of shoes without checking a bag. Against nylon duffels it trades light weight and easy cleaning for leather that scuffs and darkens with use, and against designer weekenders it is a plainer, more understated bag. Owners of similar leather duffels praise the look and durability but note the weight when full.
