Maïka

The Maïka stands out with its premium heritage construction, combining waxed cotton canvas and full-grain crazy horse leather. It offers a more characterful, timeless alternative to standard synthetic duffles, while still giving you the practical volume, organisation and versatility you need for real travel.

Compare the bag’s stated dimensions with the limits for your airline and ticket, including any weight limit. Cabin and under-seat allowances vary, and a soft bag can become larger when fully packed.

Yes. For most travellers, 35 L is an excellent size for a weekend trip or short getaway. You can comfortably fit a few outfits, toiletries, a pair of shoes, small tech essentials and your everyday carry without the bag becoming bulky or awkward to handle.

The material is water-resistant, not waterproof. It can withstand light rain and splashes, but avoid heavy or prolonged rain and immersion. Protect electronics separately, wipe off moisture and let the bag dry naturally away from direct heat.

Yes. The Maïka is designed for repeated use, with durable canvas, reinforced leather details and a sturdy zip closure. It’s built to cope with stations, car boots, hotel floors, overhead racks and the general unpredictability of life on the move.

For everyday maintenance, wipe the canvas and leather gently with a soft damp cloth and let the bag dry naturally. Avoid machine washing. Over time, re-waxing the canvas can help preserve its water resistance and keep that beautiful worn-in vintage finish alive.

Absolutely. The Maïka also works very well as an overnight bag, gym duffle, road-trip companion or elegant short-stay travel holdall. Its format is versatile enough to cover most situations where you want more room than a day bag, without going full suitcase.
