Rrr...Kooba! I didn't like this one in rose or ivory, but I love it in black! (US$615 from eLuxury.com) That picture makes the 'Charlie' look deceptively big, but it is actually quite managable in size. The 'luggage' (a.k.a. tan) color is also extremely appealing: deep, rich, and quite complementary to the polished gold hardware. Best of all is the pleat in the middle, which adds a 'worn and loved' feel to the duffle. 'Charlie' says: "please, take me out with you!"
