The Porter Mini-Duffle: Redefining Everyday Carry

Finding the right bag that balances style, function, and size can feel like searching for a unicorn. That’s exactly why I created the Porter Mini-Duffle at Smith + Parka. It’s lightweight, versatile, and perfectly sized for any occasion — whether I’m running errands, meeting a friend for coffee, or heading out for a quick getaway. The Porter Mini-Duffle is always ready to go wherever life takes me.

A Compact Companion for Big Adventures

The Porter Mini-Duffle reimagines the classic duffle bag into something smaller and sleeker without losing any practicality. It’s compact enough to stay lightweight but spacious enough to carry all my daily essentials and then some. Picture this: my water bottle, favorite book, an extra tote bag, and everything else I need for the day — all fitting effortlessly inside. Plus, it’s designed to maximize volume for its size, so I get the most out of every inch.

Features That Set the Porter Apart

The Porter Mini-Duffle isn’t just about looking good; it’s built with features that make my life easier:

9" Brass Zipper Opening: Durable and smooth for easy access to my stuff.
Grommet Toggle Strap Attachment: Functional with a hint of flair.
Detachable Strap: I can wear it crossbody or carry it by hand — my choice.
Gold Leather Puller: A small detail that adds a touch of luxury.
Nylon Canvas Lining: Waterproof and stain-resistant to keep my things protected.
Dimensions: 7.25" diameter x 11.25" width — compact but deceptively roomy.

Timeless Design, Everyday Practicality

Handcrafted in NYC, the Porter Mini-Duffle reflects my commitment to premium craftsmanship and thoughtful design. The high-quality leather and minimalist details make it a timeless piece that always feels relevant. Its clean, sleek design elevates any outfit without being flashy or over the top. Unlike big-name designer brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, or Dior, Smith + Parka isn’t about logos or trends. For me, it’s about creating something authentic, functional, and uniquely you.
