Trask Jackson Duffel Bag
We know you train dirty in the gym, but that doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate the finer things in life.

Perfect for work and weekend jaunts, even better for tricking your colleagues into thinking you’re sophisticated. nordstrom.com, $625 |

Ditch the dowdy duffels, and pack this smart leather bag with all your weekend essentials.

Zippered pockets keep your phone and wallet safe and snug, while a removable shoulder strap makes carrying this sleek duffel a breeze.mooreandgiles.com, $615 |
