Boston Travel Bag
A handcrafted Boston bag that combines timeless automotive elegance with modern practicality, perfectly tailored to your vintage car and personal style.
The Boston bag is a true classic among travel bags, renowned for its clean silhouette, generous opening, and remarkable versatility. Originally popularised in the early twentieth century, it became the preferred companion for weekend travel, offering an elegant balance between style, durability, and functionality. One of its defining characteristics is the extended zip opening, which runs not only across the top of the bag but also partly down both sides. This distinctive construction allows the bag to open exceptionally wide, providing easy access to its contents while preserving its elegant shape. Its timeless design continues to make it one of the most recognisable and practical travel bags today.
This interpretation draws inspiration from the graceful curves of the sporting automobiles of the 1920s and 1930s, while feeling equally at home alongside the iconic designs of the 1950s and 1960s. The example shown combines British Racing Green with Saffron Yellow, but every Boston bag is individually handcrafted to your wishes. Dimensions, colours, leather type, interior layout, and finishing details can all be tailored to create a truly personal piece.
Every detail has been carefully considered to create a natural connection with the world of classic automobiles. The handle attachments feature buckles inspired by the leather bonnet straps found on many vintage cars, while the interior lining can be finished with stitching patterns reminiscent of classic automotive upholstery. The result is a bespoke travel bag that perfectly complements both the vehicle and its owner, combining exceptional craftsmanship, everyday practicality, and timeless elegance.
If you are looking to create a coordinated luggage collection, our Boston Travel Bag, Touring Duffel Bag, Heritage Leather Folio, and Oval Heritage Handbag are designed to complement one another perfectly. While each piece is equally elegant on its own, together they form a refined collection that combines timeless style, exceptional craftsmanship, and practical versatility for every journey in your vintage automobile.

Leather & Material
The leather used in this item is chrome-tanned, pigmented bovine leather, with a durable full-grain pigskin lining. This combination offers excellent colour consistency, wear resistance, and everyday durability, making it ideal for regular use while maintaining an elegant appearance for years to come.
Stainless-steel or nickel-plated hardware provides lasting corrosion resistance and complements the timeless design. The polished metal zipper offers a smoother feel to the touch, glides effortlessly for easy opening and closing, and provides increased resistance to scratches and oxidation.
Useful Tip
Clean regularly with a soft cloth and apply a quality leather conditioner occasionally to preserve the leather's appearance and suppleness.

Good to know
Every Atelier LECO product is handcrafted with great care using carefully selected natural materials.
Leather is a living material, meaning that every hide is unique. Slight variations in colour, grain, texture and natural markings are therefore to be expected and are part of the authentic character of each creation.
Although we carefully select our leathers and strive to represent colours and finishes as accurately as possible, the appearance of a product may vary slightly depending on the natural properties of the leather and the screen on which it is viewed.
These subtle differences are not imperfections, but a hallmark of genuine craftsmanship and make every Atelier LECO piece truly one of a kind.
