WaterField's New All-Day Shinjuku Duffel Masters Work, Workout, and Weekends
San Francisco's WaterField Designs introduces the Shinjuku Duffel, featuring dedicated spaces for office gear, clothing, and quick-access essentials. The new carryall combines the professional aesthetic of a briefcase with expanded capacity for fitness and travel, allowing busy professionals to navigate their day with a single, sophisticated bag. SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco's WaterField Designs introduces the Shinjuku Duffel, the latest addition to the company's Shinjuku Collection, inspired by the dynamic energy of Tokyo's Shinjuku district. Crafted from ultra-lightweight, water-resistant X-Pac® Canvas or traditional waxed canvas with premium full-grain leather accents, the new compact duffel features three distinct compartments that elegantly organize the essentials of today's digital nomads – from protecting tech devices on daily commutes, to storing gear for lunchtime workouts, to organizing necessities for overnight trips. VIDEO: Tour the Shinjuku Duffel "Many professionals juggle multiple bags throughout their day – a briefcase for work, a gym bag for fitness, and yet another weekender bag for overnight trips," explained company owner Gary Waterfield. "Our Shinjuku Duffel is your ideal everyday, all-day holdall that blends professional aesthetics and flexible functionality for an efficient way to carry just one handsome bag throughout your day." The Shinjuku Duffel's intelligent design solves common carryall frustrations. The bag's layout, structure, and ample organization allow it to hold an overnight's worth of gear without being large and bulky—nothing is swimming around. Its size and quick-access pockets facilitate smooth commuting, so users aren't fishing for their wallet in a large black hole or swinging an unruly bag shaped like a battering ram in crowded spaces. The Shinjuku Duffel's three-zone organization system includes: a dedicated office compartment with padded laptop and tablet sleeves; a spacious main compartment for personal, fitness, or overnight necessities with organization pockets and a collapsible water bottle sleeve; and a full-length zippered front pocket for quick-access items with internal organization and a key tether. This thoughtful separation of work gear from clothing and smaller items caters to commuters, hybrid workers, and frequent travelers. A rear magnetic pocket securely holds passports and other valuables against the body. The main compartment features a full-length zipper that extends down the sides allowing the bag to open wide, while internal gussets keep contents in place. This feature enables users to easily pack, locate, and access items anywhere in the duffel bag, even those at the bottom. A gold, water-resistant liner brightens the interior eliminating the "black hole" effect common to standard duffels. The bright liner also resists stains and wipes clean easily. The Shinjuku Duffel is offered in X-Pac® Canvas – a high-performance textile that combines ultra-lightweight, water-resistant, and highly durable X-Pac® with canvas for a soft touch – making the bag feel light even when fully packed. The duffel is also available in rugged waxed canvas for those preferring a classic, well-traveled aesthetic. Both options feature sumptuous full-grain leather accents. Features: Three custom compartments: A dedicated office section with a padded laptop sleeve with charging cutouts (for up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro), a padded tablet pocket (for up to a 13-inch iPad Pro), and a full-length document pocket. A spacious main compartment with four elevated translucent mesh pockets and a retractable water bottle holder. A three-quarter zipper opens wide and internal gussets keep contents secure. A pleated full-length front quick-access pocket with internal mesh pockets, pen slots, and a key tether. A hidden, magnetic rear pocket holds passports, transit cards, and other quick-access items. Closed-cell foam padding on front, rear, and bottom panels add structure and enhance protection and durability. Gold, easy-clean liner illuminates interior for enhanced visibility. Three carry options ease transport: comfortable leather-wrapped handles, suitcase handle pass-through, and WaterField's removable Supreme Suspension Strap. Available in ultra-light, abrasion and water-resistant X-Pac® Canvas or traditional waxed canvas, each paired with full-grain leather accents, YKK waterproof zippers, and custom metal hardware combine for a look suitable in both formal and casual settings. Handcrafted to exacting standards in San Francisco with a lifetime warranty for defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime. The Shinjuku Duffel is the sixth addition this year to WaterField's Shinjuku Collection of bags, inspired by Tokyo's vibrant trendy neighborhood, each designed to combine mobility and accessibility with sophisticated styling. The new duffel joins WaterField's collection of carryall bags for active professionals. Availability & Pricing: The Shinjuku DuffelPrice: $419Colors and materials: X-Pac® canvas in black or olive green with black full-grain leather accents; navy blue or tan waxed canvas with chocolate full-grain leather accents. Gold ripstop nylon YKK® waterproof zippers, custom metal zipper pulls, rare-earth and weight: 16.5 x 10.5 x 10.5 inches; X-Pac® Canvas 2.4 lbs.; Waxed Canvas 2.85 lbs.; 27 liters.
