Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike standard canvas duffles that lack structure, the Lo & Sons The Catalina Deluxe features a rigid bottom compartment that prevents contents from being squashed. It is significantly more sustainable than traditional leather weekenders and offers better water resistance than cotton-based alternatives found in most retail stores.

How to use it

1. Place heavy items like shoes or hair tools in the bottom zippered compartment to lower the center of gravity.
2. Pack clothing in the upper main compartment, utilizing the internal side pockets for smaller essentials.
3. When traveling with a rolling suitcase, slide the trolley sleeve over the handle for secure transport.
4. Adjust the memory foam shoulder strap to your preferred length for maximum comfort during long walks.

The bottom compartment is a game changer for keeping my clean clothes separate from my shoes.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Lo & Sons The Catalina Deluxe worth it?

Yes, its versatility as both a gym bag and a flight-ready weekender makes it a high-value investment. The recycled materials are incredibly resilient to wear and tear.

Does the Lo & Sons The Catalina Deluxe fit in an overhead bin?

Yes, the Large and Small versions are both designed to fit easily into standard commercial airplane overhead bins. The Small version can often fit under the seat if not overstuffed.

Is Lo & Sons The Catalina Deluxe waterproof?

The recycled poly material is water-resistant and will protect contents from light drizzles, but it is not fully waterproof. Water can eventually seep through the seams in heavy downpours.

How does it compare to the standard Catalina?

The Deluxe version adds a key trolley sleeve and a removable bottom board for extra structure that the original lacks. These features make it much better suited for transit through airports.

Are there any animal products used in this bag?

The Recycled Poly version of the Lo & Sons The Catalina Deluxe is 100% vegan and contains no animal-derived materials. It specifically avoids leather and wool components.
