Heritage travel bag specifications
Premium leather construction
We source our full-grain leather from tanneries that prioritize quality and responsible practices. This top layer of the hide retains the natural grain and character marks that make leather age beautifully. Unlike corrected or split leather, full-grain develops a distinctive patina that tells the story of your travels.
The leather is drum-dyed for consistent color throughout, then finished with a protective topcoat that resists light scratches and water spots. Each panel is cut by hand and assembled by our craftspeople who’ve trained in traditional leatherworking techniques. Contrast stitching in waxed thread reinforces stress points at handles and corners.
Sizing and capacity
The Heritage travel bag measures 20 inches across, 12 inches tall, and 9 inches deep when fully packed. This gives you approximately 2,160 cubic inches of packing space—enough for three to four days of clothing, shoes, and personal items.
The wide mouth opening lets you see everything at once, while the structured sides prevent the bag from collapsing when partially full. We’ve designed the interior height to accommodate folded blazers and dresses without excessive wrinkling. A flat base with protective metal feet keeps the bag stable on airport floors and hotel room surfaces.
Interior organization features
Inside, you’ll find our signature fabric lining in a printed pattern that makes it easy to spot items quickly. One large zip pocket secures passports, tickets, and valuables. Two slip pockets on the opposite wall hold phones, chargers, and travel documents you need to access frequently.
The main compartment has no internal dividers, giving you flexibility to pack cubes, shoe bags, or toiletry kits however works best for your trip. The wide 14-inch zip opening along the top extends partway down each side for full access to contents.

Questions about the Coach Heritage travel bag
Yes, the Heritage bag's dimensions of 20" × 12" × 9" fit within most domestic and international airline carry-on limits. Major U.S. carriers allow bags up to 22" × 14" × 9", so this bag qualifies with room to spare.
However, some regional carriers and budget international airlines have stricter limits. We recommend checking your specific airline's requirements before travel. The bag's structured design means it won't compress much if you need to fit it into a smaller space.
The bag weighs 3.2 pounds empty. This includes all hardware, lining, and the adjustable strap. The weight is distributed evenly throughout the structure, so it doesn't feel heavier than expected when you pick it up.
When deciding what to pack, keep in mind that most airlines allow 15-25 pounds for carry-on bags depending on fare class. The bag's weight leaves you plenty of capacity for clothing and essentials.
Yes, the 9-inch depth accommodates one to two pairs of shoes depending on style. Most customers pack shoes in dust bags along the bottom or sides of the main compartment. Women's sneakers, flats, and low heels fit easily. Boots or high heels may require more creative packing or a separate shoe bag.
The structured base and protective metal feet mean you can place shoes directly on the bottom without worrying about the bag losing its shape or getting dirty.
The full-grain leather has a protective topcoat that provides water resistance against light rain and spills. If the bag gets lightly wet, moisture will bead on the surface and can be wiped away with a dry cloth.
However, the leather is not waterproof. Extended exposure to heavy rain or submersion will allow water to penetrate. We recommend using a leather protector spray for additional water resistance if you travel frequently in wet climates. The interior fabric lining also provides a secondary barrier against moisture.
The Heritage is our most structured travel bag with full-grain leather throughout and signature brass hardware. It's designed for customers who prioritize classic styling and premium materials.
Our Metro Weekender uses leather-trimmed canvas for a lighter weight option. The Charter Duffle has a more casual silhouette with exterior pockets. The Willow focuses on organizational features with multiple compartments. Each style serves different preferences for aesthetics, weight, and functionality.
Light surface marks often disappear as the leather develops its patina. For fresh scuffs, gently rub the area with your finger—the warmth and oils from your skin can minimize their appearance.
For stubborn marks, apply a small amount of our leather cleaner to a soft cloth and work it into the affected area using circular motions. Test in an inconspicuous spot first. Deeper scratches are usually permanent but become part of the bag's character over time. Regular conditioning helps the leather resist marking and maintains flexibility.
Yes, we offer complimentary monogramming on all Heritage bags at the time of purchase. You can choose up to three initials in several foil colors including gold, silver, and rose gold. The monogram is heat-stamped onto a leather patch inside the bag.
Personalization adds approximately 2-3 business days to processing time. Once monogrammed, the bag cannot be returned unless defective. Contact our customer service team or visit any Coach store to add personalization to your order.
