    My friends keep asking where I got this bag. I tell them Lotuff and they can't believe it's a local brand. Proudly South African and proudly premium.

    I was skeptical at first but after one trip to London with my Lotuff bag I was sold. Sturdy, stylish, and fits perfectly in the overhead compartment. 10/10.

    I've had my Lotuff duffle for 8 months now and it still looks brand new. Took it to Cape Town, Durban, and even Mozambique. This bag is built different. Worth every rand.

    Finally a South African brand that competes with the big international names. The leather quality is unreal and I get compliments every time I travel. I'm never going back to cheap bags.

    Bought this as a gift for myself after my promotion and it was the best decision. Looks expensive, feels expensive — because it is. Lotuff is the real deal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for my Northmere bag?

Full-grain leather is low maintenance but rewards a little care. Simply wipe it down with a dry cloth after use and apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep it supple and looking its best. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or water.

What colours are available?

The Northmere Classic Duffle is available in 3 signature colours — Black, Brown, and White. Each colour is carefully finished to complement the leather's natural texture and your personal style.

What material is the Northmere Classic Duffle made from?

Every Northmere bag is crafted from full-grain leather — the highest quality leather available. It's naturally durable, develops a beautiful patina over time, and only gets better with age. This isn't fast fashion. This is a bag for life.

Is it worth the price?

Absolutely. When you factor in the full-grain leather construction, reinforced stitching, and premium metal hardware, you're not just buying a bag — you're making a long-term investment. Cheap bags need replacing every year. Northmere lasts a lifetime.

How many compartments does it have?

The Northmere Classic Duffle features 3 well-organised compartments, giving you enough space for everything you need without the chaos. Whether it's a weekend trip or a long-haul flight, everything has its place.

Does it fit in the overhead compartment?

Yes! The Northmere Classic Duffle is designed to be carry-on compatible, so you can skip the baggage carousel and go straight to your destination. Travel smarter, not harder.

Do you ship across South Africa?

Yes, we ship nationwide across South Africa. Whether you're in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere in between — your Northmere bag will find its way to you.
