Which leather sports bag is the best?

That is certainly in the eye of the beholder. Buying a DRAKENSBERG leather sports bag offers you these advantages:

DRAKENSBERG's leather travel bags are characterized by their exceptional quality, craftsmanship and focus on sustainability. We do not use sustainability as a marketing element, but rather it is an integral part of our design. Good design is timeless. This also applies to a sports bag.

Our products are authentic and a bag from us could have been made in a similar form 200 years ago, as we do not use plastics such as polyester. Our linings are made of 100% cotton - a conscious decision for a long-lasting and natural alternative.

A fair price: We do not use any middlemen and pass on the price advantage to you. Our bags would easily cost three times as much without middlemen.

What types and options of leather sports bags are there?

In our online shop we have a large selection of leather sports bags for men and women in different sizes, colors and criteria. You are sure to find your favorite among these three variants:

Compact leather sports bags, with or without outside compartments

These all-rounders are light, compact and offer enough space for all your necessary products and sports accessories. Practical compartments help you keep everything organized. You can also find leather bags of this type in our shop under the name "Weekender", such as the "Weekender John". This bag is also perfect for a weekend trip.

Compact leather sports bags in combination with shoe compartment

A good choice - leather bags with a shoe compartment are the perfect sports bags because they combine high-quality design with practical functionality. The shoe compartment allows you to store shoes separately and prevents them from coming into contact with your clean clothes. We recommend our Finn leather travel bag.

Large and expandable leather sports bags

For certain types of sport where you need more space for your sportswear, our large leather bags are ideal. Our weekender David and our travel bag Ray also offer you additional storage space.

How big should a leather sports bag be?

The ideal size of a leather sports bag depends on the type of sporting activity. For sports such as yoga or the gym, a medium-sized sports bag with a length of around 50-55 cm is often sufficient. However, if you want to transport equipment for more extensive sports such as tennis, football or basketball, larger sports bags with a length of 55-65 cm are recommended. A well-sized leather sports bag offers enough space for all necessary sports products and cosmetic items and at the same time ensures comfortable transport.

How many liters should leather sports bags have?

A leather sports bag with 40 to 60 liters is sufficient for most sports such as the gym, EMS training or spinning.

How to wear a leather sports bag correctly?

Carry the travel bag on your right shoulder if you are right-handed, and carry the leather bag over your left shoulder if you are left-handed. This will allow you to carry the bag comfortably and avoid having to move awkwardly to reach your things.

What is the best way to care for leather travel bags?

With regular care and careful handling, your leather sports bag will remain in top condition and accompany you on all your sporting adventures in the long term. To optimally care for your leather sports bag, we recommend the following steps:

Regular cleaning

After use, brush your travel bag regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using aggressive cleaning products as these could damage the leather of your travel bag.

Leather care products

Use special leather care products without color, such as colorless leather balm or leather oil, to keep the leather supple and protect it from drying out. Apply the care products thinly and polish them in gently with a soft cloth. Avoid contact with the cotton lining at all costs, as this could quickly cause unpleasant grease stains.

Protection against moisture

Make sure to protect the leather sports bag from moisture. Store your leather bag in a dry place and avoid contact with heavy rain or other liquids.

Avoid too much direct sunlight

Do not store the leather bag in a place exposed to direct sunlight as this may cause the leather to fade and dry out.

Through regular care and careful handling, your sports bag will remain in top condition and will accompany you on all your sporting adventures in the long term.
