SJP Shoeful Duffel


Introducing the Shoeful Duffel, a seamless fusion born from the collaboration between Samsonite and the Sarah Jessica Parker brand. Our objective was clear: design a versatile bag that effortlessly accommodates an overnight wardrobe and essential items. Maintaining the distinct identity of the collection, we prioritized ensuring the bag exudes style in both duffel and backpack modes, empowering users to choose without compromising on aesthetics.

Notably, the Shoeful Duffel earned its spot among Oprah's Favorite Things in 2021, adding an extra layer of recognition to this chic and functional accessory.

Some words from SJP…

“Our Shoeful Duffel is almost too good to be true. No matter how much I ask of her, she always delivers. We wanted to create a bag that was big enough to fit everything one might need for a long weekend away while still being easy to carry and, as always, the experts at Samsonite delivered. With more than four ways to wear her, she’s the gift that keeps on giving.”
