As an avid traveller, I acquired a large collection of travel bags, ranging from backpacks of all dimensions to cases that even fit the stricter cabin restrictions. However, I have never owned a duffel bag. With most of my travel bags still in storage in Spain, I was struggling to find a suitable luggage combination for my upcoming trip to Hamburg. You see, Hamburg is a fantastic city for shopping, and I booked an extra day in the city so I could go to my favourite shops and stock up with amazing toiletries from DM, chocolate from Lindt and Halloren, a couple of new jumpers from New Yorker and, of course, as many packs of kaiserschmarrn I could fit in. I didn’t want to pay the airline any extra to take an empty suitcase with me to Hamburg though, and I didn’t want to buy a new one there either.
I was still trying to find a solution when Trendhim contacted me and asked if I wanted to review one of their foldable duffle bags. Reading about the quality of the bags, the dimensions and the features, I realised that this was the answer to my trip to Hamburg, so I said that I would. Trendhim sent me their Lazy Bear Lealand Foldable Duffel Bag to try it out and then review it on my blog.
About Trendhim

Shipping
The bag was shipped from Denmark and it arrived in five days. I was issued a tracking number once the order was completed, and I received an email from Royal Mail once it entered the country and cleared customs. It was delivered the following day. Trendhim offers free delivery for orders over £25.
About the Lazy Bear Lealand Foldable Duffel Bag
The moment I opened the parcel I knew that this was going to be the perfect bag to take with me to Hamburg. It was so small and flat! As I unpacked it though, I realised that it’s very spacious and I would have no issues taking full advantage of the 15kg allowance on the flight back to London.
The Lazy Bear Lealand Foldable Duffel Bag is so versatile and can be used in many different ways: as a piece of luggage, as a carry-on, and even as a gym bag.
The Design
I love the design of the bag and, even though it is practically a men’s bag, it suits my travelling style so well.
Firstly, the colour is really pretty and stands out. I will easily recognise it on the conveyor belt in the Arrivals Hall. I received the brown model, but the bag also comes in black, green, and as a limited edition, in blue.
I thought that the motto “I have been to almost as many places as my luggage” is really cute. This reminded me of the time my luggage was lost on the way to Cuba. When it was finally found and returned to me a couple of months later, the tag on it had a list almost as long as my arm with all the destinations it had travelled to before getting back to me.
The “Explore” tag on the Lealand bag is the definition of the way I like to travel. I always explore rather than just sit on a beach or do nothing for the entire day. The tag is detachable and reflective, same as the writing on the bag, which makes the bag easily recognisable in dark rooms.
Features of the Lazy Bear Lealand Foldable Duffel Bag
The duffle bag is made from canvas and polyester, which is a woven textile fabric derived from cotton. This makes it very easy to clean by using just soapy warm water, and brushing gently with a soft brush.
The bag is water resistant, which is a plus especially when travelling to rainy destinations.
Each side of the bag features a large pocket that can hold items which you may need quick access to, such as a bottle of water. I put a big bottle of water in one of the pockets and it fitted comfortably, as well as leaving plenty of space.
As I mentioned before, the bag is extremely spacious, even if at first glance it may not look like it. It can easily be the only bag you will need for a week’s long trip. Once it’s unfolded, the pouch goes inside and creates an extra secure zipped pocket for smaller things such as passport, keys or headphones.
The duffel bag has two sturdy handles to carry it with, and they are also large enough to allow you to put it over your shoulder. I liked this because it’s so much easier to carry a heavier bag over the shoulder.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the Lazy Bear Lealand Foldable Duffel Bag. I didn’t believe that I needed a duffle bag until I tested this one. The duffle bag costs £59 and it is available to buy on the Trendhim website, by clicking here.

Oh wow I love the look of this bag. Looks like it’d be excellent for weekend trips.
This looks like a great bag – I am always looking for good bags for travels as we go on a lot of short trips which don’t need big old suitcases! I have a duffel bag from Trendhim too and am so impressed by the quality!
the bag looks stylish and big enough! I absolutely love it! I think it’s very comfortable for short trips. The color makes it look better in my eyes.
I perfer a bag that is versatile and happy to know they come in different colors. I like the design. Would love to check this out. Thank you for sharing your honest review.
What a wonderful bag. It looks so spacious and perfect for traveling. I would love something to travel like this!
That looks like a great bag – My husband has a belt from Trendhim, and he is very happy with it
This is a really cute yet practical bag. It is great to be able to pack it away then use once there for shopping.
This is such a trendy bag. I like that it folds small, bags are always such a mission to store.
I love how small it can fold, yet it looks like it holds a lot.
Did you use the bag to keep it folded up on your trip or did you carry it as is? I always wonder when I’d need to keep a bag all zipped up 🙂 Very nice looking bag.
I will keep it folded so I don’t have to pay for a bag in the hold, and then I will use it to bring back the shopping, from Germany.
