J. Panther Luggage Co. RollTote

It’s been a while coming, but good ideas sometimes need time, and the latest by the J. Panther Luggage Co. is again of our highest liking. Their all new 3-way carry RollTote brings modern functionality and refinement, to the classic, utilitarian roll-top backpack. To the standard ruc mode two additional, flexible carry options were added: removable, fully adjustable leather shoulder straps attach via ‘O’ ring for ruc carry, with the option to re-attach one of these straps across the top of the bag for tote-style use. A leather side handle, meanwhile, offers the third option of hand carry. Precise positioning of straps and handle ensures optimum weight distribution and comfort for all physiques; like the reinforced base these are crafted from premium Horween leather that is highly durable and ages beautifully. The RollTote comes in the colors Black, Olive and Sand in J. Panther’s signature 21oz lightly waxed, water-resistant canvas promising the RollTote to see you through the heaviest storm.

With the top of the bag rolled down to cover them, the twin external pockets – wide enough for easy access and deep enough for secure storage – are as well protected from rain as the roomy interior. Fully rolled down the RollTote will see you through the busiest of days, while at full height it will easily serve as an overnight bag. Inside a deep pocket neatly separates your laptop, tablet or documents from other belongings.

It’s built for life just like you, and will continue to look better with age. We hope you do too…

J. Panther Luggage Co. was founded upon a passion for innovation, design classics and products that are built to last a lifetime and beyond. After design and extensive testing in New York their bags and accessories are hand made and finished by craftsmen who’ve been making high-end luggage for generations. The whole catalog of the company draws upon the exacting standards and construction methods of the pre-1960s United States, yet designed in a contemporary fashion.

The beautiful watercolor artwork is once again by the very talented Chris Sharp, who has been working with J. Panther since the beginning.
