The bold tiger motif is printed onto rich cotton velvet in our Rajasthan studios, layer by layer. The result is a tiger duffle bag with tactile depth and visual punch in equal measure.
Sized for the trips that matter — long weekends, surprise nights away, gym kit on intentional days — and finished with cotton lining so the structure holds even when packed full. A statement velvet tiger duffle made to be carried for years.
