SAN FRANCISCO, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WaterField Designs, a San Francisco manufacturer known for handcrafted premium bags and cases, introduced the Tribeca Leather Duffel, a structured full-grain leather bag sized for hybrid work, overnight business trips, and long weekends away. The streamlined duffel includes a padded laptop compartment that fits up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, translucent interior pockets, and custom lock-compatible zipper pulls. Closed-cell foam padding throughout helps the bag maintain its shape while protecting contents in transit.

The Tribeca Leather Duffel uses full-grain leather selected to develop character and a rich patina over time, giving each bag a distinct appearance with extended use. An Ultrasuede®-lined front pocket protects phones and other valuables beneath an authentic paragliding buckle. The distinctive hardware adds a subtle technical accent to the streamlined silhouette. Durable metal hardware, water-repellent zippers, and double-reinforced box stitching support years of frequent travel.

Inside, a gold liner brightens the interior for improved visibility, while elevated interior pockets organize gear and accessories for quick access. Two translucent Monolite™ mesh pockets organize cables, toiletries, and smaller essentials within easy view, and a discreet AirTag pocket keeps a tracker tucked out of sight. Leather handles, a luggage pass-through, and the included Supreme Suspension Strap adapt the Tribeca from overhead-bin travel to hotel check-ins and cross-terminal walks.

"A work trip today might start with meetings and end with a long weekend," said Gary Waterfield, founder of WaterField Designs. "The Tribeca Leather Duffel was designed for that rhythm, with the organization needed for both work and travel and the refinement expected from a full-grain leather bag."
