Duffel bags are a versatile option for everything from road trips and car camping to gym use and air travel. REI's recent Anniversary Sale was host to tons of great deals on duffel bags from brands like The North Face and Cotopaxi, but one of the best deals we've found is live right now at Nordstrom Rack. If your tastes skew more classic than rugged, Herschel’s retro duffel bag is a great option, and it’s now a staggering $55 off.

The Herschel Supply Co. Duffel Bag is on sale for a mere $45, a savings of 55% on the $100 bag. It's a very popular option at Nordstrom Rack, amassing nearly 100 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it's "made extremely well." The bag has a shoulder strap or can be carried by the handles, and it’s the ideal size for a weekend away.

The duffel bag is made from durable polyester canvas with synthetic leather straps. The interior features Herschel’s signature red and white pinstripe pattern, which adds personality and makes it easier to see what’s in the bag than a black lining would allow. The interior features a mesh pocket, but the bag’s standout feature is the dedicated shoe pouch; a zippered compartment on the side of the bag keeps shoes separate and tucked away when not in use.

Many shoppers say the bag is quite sturdy and stylish, but say it's how versatile it is that has them the most excited. One shopper said, “It's functional and the size is good for a short weekend getaway for two people.” Another said it's "perfect for work and long weekends."

Others appreciated that the duffel was roomier than it looked, with one writing that it “fits way more than you’d expect.” Another said, “It’s lightweight and easily fits on the overhead bin when flying. The side shoe pocket helps with not mixing footwear with clothes.”

Herschel’s classic duffel bag is a time-tested favorite for many with an infinite amount of uses. If you've had your eye on it, make sure to pick it up while it's $45 at Nordstrom Rack, but do so quickly because the sale is only live for a limited time.
