Gladstone Travel Bag
A timeless Gladstone bag, handcrafted and tailored to complement both your lifestyle and your vintage car.
The Gladstone bag is one of the most iconic travel bags in history. Originally developed in the 19th century and named after British statesman William Ewart Gladstone, it became renowned for its distinctive wide-opening frame, offering excellent accessibility and generous storage capacity. Traditionally used by doctors, professionals and travellers, the Gladstone bag remains a symbol of elegance, craftsmanship, and practicality.
Each Gladstone bag is handcrafted to your exact requirements. Size, colour, leather type, interior layout, lining, and personalised details can all be tailored to individual preferences. The bag shown here features vegetable-tanned leather combined with a tartan-pattern wool lining, illustrating just one of the many possible configurations. Whether intended as a weekend bag, briefcase, doctor's bag, or travel companion, every Gladstone bag is designed to reflect its owner's needs while preserving the timeless character and functionality that have made this iconic design endure for generations.
Special attention is given to every detail, ensuring that the bag harmonises beautifully with the interior and personality of a vintage automobile. The result is more than a bag: it is a bespoke accessory that combines heritage, functionality, and style, becoming even more beautiful as the leather develops a rich patina over time.
If you are looking for a complete luggage set, the Gladstone Travel Bag and Classic Doctor’s Bag are designed as complementary pieces that pair perfectly together. Combining timeless style, practicality, and craftsmanship, they are ideally suited to accompany both short getaways and longer vintage motoring adventures.

Leather & Material
The leather used in this item is full-grain, drum-dyed bovine leather with a smooth pigmented finish that preserves the natural grain without embossing. Tanned using a combination of vegetable and chrome processes, it offers the rich character of traditional leather with enhanced durability for regular vintage car use. Aubergine leather, navy piping, solid oak details, and a blue-and-white tartan wool lining create a distinctive handcrafted finish.
Useful Tip
Clean regularly with a soft cloth and nourish the leather occasionally with a quality conditioner to preserve its colour, suppleness, and natural beauty.

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.
