I can't speak for MOL but to me, from viewing the pic, that shiny leather looks cheap.
Have you considered a more modern look? A Tech material? There are real advantages-lighter, easy to clean, water proof or resistant, often more functions and pockets. Here is a nice duffle in black that will take you anywhere.

and/or it's backpack version again in black.

I like black for travel, especially if it will be checked as baggage.

Not really into the tech fabrich/nylon. But thanks for the suggestions.

Guys. While I like looking at $800 bags, they're not really relevant to me!

I bought the RM Williams leather weekender and has becoming my carry-on bag for the past ten months. Amazing quality, durability and fair price.

Considered JW Hulme and Orvis Gokey before however their duffle bag is designed with straps that make it difficult to open during the security check at the airport.

cheers Gradstudent78 for the link. been like their stuff since they first started but I never seem to see any reviews on the bags.

just want to make sure I will get on with it before buying and having it shipped to me in the UK don't want to worry about the hassle and expense of returning it.
