THE LEATHER STORY:Ā
Every day thousands of pounds of leather from brand new cars go unused for reasons as simple as color issues and small marks. We give this material a new life by transforming it into your duffle handmade in Detroit, and built to last by US Veterans and Detroiters. The leather on your bag may have some imperfections that tell an authentic story. Small scratches and marks on the leather's surface are normal and will help the bag patina and age nicely. Texture and shade of leather may vary slightly from those pictured.Ā
WHY THE NAME " DTW" ?Ā
We named this after our airport, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, known to every Detroiter and travelers as DTW.ā. It opened in 1930 as Wayne County Airport and took its current name, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, in 1958. That same year it became the first inland airport in the country certified for jet airliners. Over the next eight years, the airlines moved their flights to DTW from Willow Run, the airport our Willow Run Wallet is named for, and Detroit took off into the jet age.
Like everything we make, itās Detroit-made from upcycled automotive leather and crafted by a Veteran or Detroiter. Itās built for the places you go next and the city you come home to.

We want you to be happy, and tell your friends, family, and co-workers about your Piece of Pingree a decade from now how well it's still holding up, so we will stand by our product for life. If the stitching or any hardware fails on one of our products within 365 days of the product arriving to you, we cover the cost of getting it shipped back to us to repair and shipping it back to you at no extra cost. After the warranty,Ā for the Life of Your Product,Ā if anything breaks on it from normal use (please don't use our dog leashes to lift engines out of cars--even though they can hold it) - all you pay is the labor it costs us to repair it and the shipping expense.Ā

From our eco-conscious production and shipping methods to our commitment to maximizing well-being for our workers, customers, and the environment, we believe every step matters. When you choose a Pingree product, youāre choosing something betterāfor the planet, for people, and for our collective future.
