Kendal & Hyde have been successful in its [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taskin-swift) campaigns before, this time with a bag that is modeled off of 1940s arch top duffels. These bags are made from strong American and Canadian-sourced full grain leather and a canvas liner. Using things like oak and mimosa-branch bark, the beautiful leather is vegetable-tanned to use an environmentally friendly way of creating strong, vintage-looking leather. In addition to being built to last, they have excellent utility details like an integrated computer sleeve, water bottle holder and passport pocket. With a slogan describing the leather duffel bags as, "authentically vintage looking enough to have been your grandfather's," the company aims to bring class and style back to travelling. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage-inspired Leather Bags:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of eco-friendly leather bags that combine vintage aesthetics with modern features. - **Eco-friendly Leather Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a range of environmentally-friendly leather products using sustainable tanning methods. - **Functional Travel Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design travel accessories that combine style and utility for the modern traveler. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and design techniques to create unique and sustainable fashion accessories. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an online platform that specializes in selling vintage-inspired leather bags and accessories. - **Travel and Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative travel products and services to enhance the travel experience for modern consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Antique Rug Duffle Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-kennedy-king-duffle.md) - [Premium European Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generation-leather-collection.md) - [Travel-Inspired Handbag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patricia-nash-designs-bags.md) - [Ultra-Sophisticated Leather Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-travel-bags.md) - [Tough Tactical Duffle Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spclst-system-duffel-bag.md) - [Lifestyle-Conscious Duffle Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackbriar-allaround-duffle-backpack.md) - [Professional Long Weekend Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bennett-winch-weekender.md) - [Leather-Woven Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-6.md) - [Luxury Leather Bag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonder-collection.md)
