The Duffel Bag: History, Style and Today

Table of Contents What is a Duffel? In it’s original form the duffel bag is a cylindrical bag made of cloth, with a draw string closure at the top but the term is now used to describe a variety of soft sided bags which are sometimes referred to as a ‘weekender’. Origins The Oxford English Dictionary dates the origin of the word duffel back to 1677. The word was originally used to describe ‘a coarse woollen cloth having a thick nap or frieze’. The cloth was produced in the Belgian town of Duffel, situated not far from Antwerp, it was exported to Spain and Portugal and because of its durable qualities it was used as a covering material on ships. It is suggested that Spanish and Portuguese sailors used offcuts of the material to fashion crude bags for their belongings.
