Light to Carry, Easy to Love
There is something genuinely freeing about a duffle bag. No rigid corners, no complicated compartments, just a generous open design that loads quickly, carries comfortably and looks effortlessly put-together on any shoulder. At Lipault, our holdall bags are built on that same easy energy, dressed in the kind of confident Parisian colour and finish that makes even the most practical bag feel like a style choice.
From Small to Large: A Duffle for Every Kind of Trip
Our duffle bag range covers every trip length and carrying need, from the smallest holdall in the range to the largest wheeled option.
- Carryall: our most compact small duffle bags, with several confirmed as free personal item luggage on Ryanair flights. Light, slim and ideal for keeping essentials close at hand on any journey.
- 24h: our mid-size holdall bags, relaxed and spacious enough for a full day's worth of belongings or a light city break carry-on.
- 48h: stepping up in capacity for trips that call for a little more room.
- 72h: our largest soft duffle bags, offering generous capacity for when the trip asks a lot more of your holdall.
- Wheeled duffle (72cm): for those who prefer to roll rather than carry, combining the relaxed silhouette of a holdall with smooth 2-wheel rolling ease.
- Foldable duffle (78cm): our most innovative duffle bag, folding flat into its own protective cover when not in use. Ideal if storage space at home is limited. Personalisation available on selected styles.
One Great Holdall, Your Choice of Finish
Our duffle bags come in a choice of signature finishes, and some styles in more than one. Lost In Berlin is known for its matte rubber effect material, with a structured, premium urban aesthetic and excellent resistance to scuffs and everyday splashes. City Plume goes softer in lightweight twill nylon, and a more relaxed, casual feel. Both materials are water-resistant, so your belongings stay protected whatever the conditions, and the choice really comes down to the look and feel you prefer.
Parisian Style, Practical Design
A Lipault duffle bag is many things at once: a lightweight holdall for everyday carry, a stylish travel companion that looks as good at the station as it does at the destination, and a genuinely practical bag that keeps pace with how modern life actually moves. Multiple carrying options including top handles and a shoulder strap across the range mean you can adapt to any situation, and the generous opening on most styles makes packing and unpacking as effortless as possible. If you need something with wheels for a larger trip, our travel bags with wheels extend the range further for check-in luggage.

FAQ
What is the difference between a duffle bag and a holdall?
In everyday use, "duffle bag" and "holdall" describe the same type of bag: a soft-sided, open-top bag with a cylindrical or rectangular shape, typically carried by top handles and a shoulder strap. "Holdall" is the more widely used British English term, while "duffle bag" is the more international term. At Lipault, we use both interchangeably across our range. The more meaningful distinctions in our collection are about size, from compact small duffles to large holdall bags, and format, from carry-only to wheeled or foldable designs.
What sizes are available in Lipault's duffle bag range?
Our duffle bag range spans several sizes to suit different needs:
- Small duffle bags (Carryall): our most compact holdall, with several confirmed as a free personal item on Ryanair flights. Perfect for carrying daily essentials or as a light travel companion.
- Medium duffle bags (24h): a relaxed, everyday holdall with generous capacity for a full day's worth of belongings.
- Medium-large duffle bags (48h): stepping up in capacity for trips that need a little more room.
- Large duffle bags (72h, plus wheeled and foldable formats): our most spacious options, ideal for longer adventures or as a check-in holdall alongside carry-on luggage.
Exact dimensions and capacities are listed on each individual product page.
Can I use a Lipault duffle bag as cabin luggage?
Yes. Several of our most compact duffle bags are confirmed as free personal item luggage on Ryanair, meaning they travel free of charge in the cabin on Ryanair standard fares, with the confirmation shown on their product pages. The soft-sided construction of our duffle bags also means they adapt easily to fit under a seat or in an overhead locker. For larger formats, we recommend checking with your specific airline before travelling, as dimensions and weight limits vary by carrier and ticket type. Policies can change, so always verify before you fly.
Are Lipault duffle bags good for travel?
Yes. A duffle bag for travel offers real advantages over a rigid suitcase: the soft-sided design adapts when you need to squeeze in an extra item, the wide opening makes packing and unpacking quick and intuitive, and the range of sizes means you can travel as light or as generously as the trip demands. Our wheeled and foldable formats add even more versatility for check-in travel, while our most compact formats are ideal as free personal item bags on budget airlines. Our duffle bags are designed to look as good at the destination as they do at the departure gate.
What materials are used in Lipault duffle bags?
Our duffle bags are available across collections with different materials. Lost In Berlin uses a matte rubber effect material with a structured, contemporary look and excellent resistance to everyday scuffs and splashes. City Plume and Foldable Plume are crafted from soft, lightweight twill nylon and a more relaxed feel. Both materials are water-resistant, helping to protect your belongings in typical daily and travel conditions.
How do I care for my Lipault duffle bag?
Your duffle bag needs very little to keep looking its best. A damp cloth with mild soap, worked in gentle circles, lifts everyday marks from the exterior, and the lining only wants a quick wipe or a light vacuum once you are home. Foldable styles are happiest packed back into their protective cover between trips, which keeps the shape crisp and the dust out.
What accessories pair well with a duffle bag?
A few well-chosen extras help you make the most of a duffle bag's generous interior. Our suitcase organisers work just as well inside a holdall as inside a case, keeping clothes, shoes and accessories neatly compartmentalised. A toiletry bag keeps your liquids airport-compliant and easy to pull out at security. And a passport cover keeps your travel documents safe and close at hand throughout the journey.
