The Franky sports bag pays tribute to the 1930s boxing bags: classic lines, visible seams, metal finishes, and a timeless cylindrical silhouette. A bag that embraces its retro style without sacrificing practicality — 20 to 35 liters of usable capacity, an adjustable shoulder strap, and a robust canvas lining. For the gym or a weekend trip, it's the same item, without ever looking like the anonymous technical bags you see by the dozens in locker rooms. Available in eight colors, from deep burgundy to English green, including the emblematic two-tone combinations (black-white, black-yellow, burgundy-black) reminiscent of vintage bags from great sports clubs.

Benefits of the Franky bag
The sporting aesthetic of the 1930s: a living legacy
The cylindrical sports bag as we know it today originated in the boxing gyms and athletic clubs of the early 20th century. Boxers of that era carried their gloves, protective gear, and uniforms in solid leather bags with simple shapes: elongated tubes closed by a large zipper, equipped with two sturdy handles and a shoulder strap, adorned with contrasting stripes that became the visual signature of retro sports.
The Franky bag faithfully reproduces this aesthetic, incorporating modern technical improvements: a PU leather finish that perfectly imitates the look of aged leather while being more resistant to moisture and stains, a robust canvas inner lining, and nickel-plated metal fasteners that resist corrosion. A bag that could have come out of a 1930s locker room, but designed for the demands of 21st-century use.
The cylindrical silhouette is no accident: it optimizes the usable volume compared to a rectangular bag of the same dimensions, while naturally sitting flat on a locker room bench or in a car trunk.

Usage tip: utilize the Franky's cylindrical silhouette to optimize storage. Roll clothes and place them along the length of the bag instead of stacking them flat — you gain 30% usable space and reduce wrinkles. For sports shoes, slide them to the ends of the cylinder, soles towards the edges: they occupy space that clothes cannot use. To air out the bag after an intense session, leave it open for a few hours at room temperature before storing it.
Franky bag care: clean the PU leather exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry – never machine wash or tumble dry. For stubborn stains, a soft brush with Marseille soap is sufficient. Air out the inner lining after each sports use to prevent odors. The metal finishes can be wiped with a dry cloth to maintain their shine. The PU leather finish is resistant to moisture and daily wear, requiring no specific maintenance.
Precautions: the Franky bag is designed for sports and weekend use, not for carrying very heavy loads (recommended limit 10 kg). The PU leather exterior is resistant to splashes and light moisture but is not certified waterproof – avoid prolonged exposure to rain. For wet items after sports, use an internal waterproof pouch. Check the authorized cabin dimensions of your airline before departure: the 45 × 30 × 30 cm format is accepted by most, but some low-cost airlines have stricter limits.
