Here's Why You Need a Personalized Duffel Bag
Everybody loves bags—it's just a plain and simple fact. From the reusable tote bags we use for grocery shopping and our outdoor excursions to the duffel bags we use for sports equipment, music gear, or even as a trusty travel bag, it's easy to glance over just how important bags are to our day-to-day activities. With that said, not every bag is made equal. This means that if you want a bag that will last you for countless trips and for years after you buy it, you need one that is not only just well-made but that also speaks to your unique sense of style—like a personalized duffel bag!
Personalized duffel bags are the perfect choice for kids on the go and their moms! Our bags come in three super hand sizes, with our uniquely designs that you can’t find anywhere else! Dance, cheer, sports, and gymnastics, or just fun animals and travel designs, our personalized bags will stand out in a crowd.
Our goal here at Persunly is simple: to banish boring bags! For far too long, dull grays and muted designs have been the go-to choice for practical bag wear, and even the use of old-school pastels has begun to feel overdone. This is precisely why we are so excited to offer personalized duffel bags in a variety of pre-drawn and custom-made designs, as well as an array of exquisite and eye-catching color schemes. With Persunly, every bag can be made entirely unique to your personal tastes or those of your loved ones.
And by now, you're probably wondering, "That all sounds great, but why do I need a duffel bag, let alone a personalized duffel bag?" Well, we're going to answer that question with this very blog—so let's get into it!
A Brief History of the Duffel Bag
Most historians abide by the claim that the duffel bag gets its name from the Belgian town of Duffel, which is where the original duffel cloth was produced in the early 17th century. However, the duffel bags we know and love today are the product of time far more recent. The widespread use of canvas duffel bags during the First World War is likely what sparked their massive popularity in the modern age. Moreover, after the end of World War Two, when commodities were made far easier to produce and acquire, the popularity of the duffel bag grew even larger and more mainstream!
Why Choose a Personalized Duffel Bag Over Some Other Kind of Bag
As we mentioned in the intro, bags of all kinds aren't just popular, but they're essential to a lot of our day-to-day functions. So, out of all the fantastic types, shapes, and sizes of bags out there, why should you invest in a personalized duffel bag?
Well, here are four primary reasons why:
They're Super Durable
One of the best parts about duffel bags is the polyester canvas material that they're made of, made from 50% recycled materials! This sturdy material makes our duffel bags super tough and very difficult to rip or tear—even from sharp objects you may bump into. That's because the fabrics themselves that are sewn together to make the bag are woven together in super thin and tight-knit patterns to ensure that the bond between them is hard to break.
Not only are duffel bags strong, but their heavy-duty fabric also makes them practically water-proof! So if you're ever caught out in the rain, or you need to transport some wet clothes and towels after a pool day, you can rest assured that your personalized duffel bag from Persunly will be a-okay.
They're Highly Adaptable
We've all had a bothersome experience with those big, clunky hard-top suitcases that never fit as much as we expected or those inflexible backpacks that refuse to bend to the odd shape of our sports or other extracurricular gear. That's just another reason why duffel bags are the go-to travel and sports bag for folks all around the country. While also being highly durable, the duffel bag material—as well as the unique shape of the bags themselves—makes them highly flexible and adaptable to a wide range of uses, which we'll talk more about later in this blog.
They're Very Affordable
As the old proverb goes, "Money talks." And nowadays, our money is usually pretty annoyed with how expensive things can get. Thankfully, personalized duffel bags from Persunly are one of the most affordable bag choices available! The duffel bag material is the perfect middle ground between cost and quality. We've already shown you how durable and adaptable duffel canvas is, but what makes those two perks even better is that they come at a low cost. And with our wide range of customization options, you can always find a price that's right for your budget.
They're Easily Customizable
If you've made it this far in the blog, then you've already caught a glimpse of just how customizable our bags are. This is where Persunly bags really SHINE! That's because we love what we do and strive to make a unique product for every customer. By handcrafting each bag to order, we're able to offer you a fantastic array of personalization options, such as color, shape, size, and embroidery. Choose from many sports and activities like Cheer, Dance, Gymnastics, Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Hockey, Karate and Martial Arts, Lacrosse, Pickleball, Soccer, Softball, Swim, and Volleyball, or just a fun travel design.
Color
We know that our customers are tired of only having the option between mute colors like black, white, and gray—we are too! This is why every single bag we offer has at least three color customization options to show off a favorite color, or team color! Many of our bags have as many as nine or ten color options, with a coordinating design. Weather you have a girl that loves pink, or need your boy needs his team football colors maroon and gold, you can find what you’re looking for!
Shape
Duffel bags come in two styles: the barrel style and the square bottom style. As such, we want you to have access to both options to ensure that you can get exactly what you're looking for. The shoulder tote bags style is made of the same material and has a sturdy zipper,. Great for moms, coaches, or quick trips to practice or the pool. We recommend the barrel-style duffel bag if you're more likely to use it for rounded sports gear and clothes that you need to take on the go for everyday use. Meanwhile, the square bottom duffel bag is larger for more clothes and gear.
Size
Each of the shapes described above also correlates to a size. The barrel style duffel bag is a smaller variation that clocks in around 18" wide. So, as we said above, this makes it far more convenient for daily use and easy transport. On the other hand, the square bottom duffel style is larger, coming in at around 24" wide. This makes it ideal for storing more oversized items such as helmets and big shoulder pads, as well as making it an excellent travel bag for longer excursions.
Embroidery
Our unique embroidery and applique designs are embroidereid right onto the bag with industrial machines. It will never fade or wear off! Every bag we offer comes with the additional option to add your name to it in clear, bold embroidery in your preferred color. However, many of our bags also offer a lot more, including embroidered figures, slogans, and sayings!
And when you get your personalized duffel bag right here from Persunly, you get our HMTO Guarantee, meaning that every bag is Hand Made To Order and never premade. How's that for customer service?

Travel

A duffel bag is the perfect size to transport easily with one hand or sling over your shoulder without it being too heavy. Plus, using a duffel bag for air travel can help you avoid the long lines for checking in bags since our duffel bags are under the TSA limit for carry-on sizes!
