Are leather weekender bags worth the higher price?

Leather options here run from about $95 to over $570, versus $18-$33 for polyester duffels. The trade-off reflected in verified-purchase reviews is durability and appearance versus weight and cost: leather ages well and looks premium but is heavier and far pricier, while fabric duffels are lightweight, water-resistant, and easy to replace. Choose based on how often you travel and whether the bag is also a style piece.
