An Essential For The Traveling Gentleman - Carl Friedrik Palissy Weekend Luxury Bag Review
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
As promised in my gift haul video last month, today I review the Palissy Weekend bag from my favourite luxury leather goods maker Carl Friedrik. I discuss its Italian roots, British design, and specifications. In addition, I share the positives and negatives of owning this essential men’s bag after testing it on a flight from London to NYC.

Couldn't help but smile at this review....You can feel the passion TGV has for these products, the glint in his eye and the excitement in his voice. This review & personal endorsement (an endorsement I hold in high regard) has given me all I need to make an informed decision to try this brand. Thank you TGV keep up the excellent service to the good gentry. Pip pip
I have an old black gym bag from my high school track and field days. I know, I know. Bit flashy, perhaps a tad FLEXY. But if it isn’t sexy...

You stylin'
What's wrong with a Sainsbury's bag for life? You can fit a fair bit in it and it won't get knicked
Great as always! Love how often you've been posting new videos -- Keep 'em coming please, sir!
Oh my God, so many TGV videos lately! I'm so happy to have you back!
Thank you for turning me on to Carl Friedrik, the bags are stylish & high quality! You’ve made me a big fan. I like your style!
Love it! Been waiting for this review. Thank you so much TGV!
I bought the Bolton lap top bag recently in black with orange accent. It makes me smile everyday. And it’s got plenty of pockets inside. Really good company and like TGV says, quality through and through.
Loved the opening travel sequence. Your editing skills are masterful! My go-to travel bag is a German Army ruck I bought in a second hand shop in Aachen for 25 euros. I don't do much traveling, but when I do, everything stuffs in there nicely. Cheers!

Thank you Shane, very kind sir. Deffo will check out the Aachen bag, did you happen to see the Laco watch I reviewed of the same name? Best regards, TGV
Loved the unique intro. Carl Fridrik makes an amazing product, I will definitely be getting a bag from them soon. Sleek, classic and timeless design. Not overpriced or gaudy like some other brands. Looking forward to move videos as always. Have a wonderful day

TGV thank you. I love your reviews; as always fantastic quality leather travel bag
Great video, i really like the travel content, I knew as soon as the video started your wwc was going to be the Hoffman. Thanks TGV!
Beautiful, but as I stated in an earlier reply Tusting is the Brit leather goods supplier for me. My Explorer in Tan Atlantic is amazing for a weekend or a weeks excursion. My Clipper in Crazy Horse just keeps getting better as I knock it about. Love the depth of the review, never thought of how the color of the lining helps rummaging around. Keep up the good work. The Gentry need you.
Love them TGV, going to purchase some of the items for myself & great for gifts for friends,
Got the black one with orange details (same as in your video) after this review, this’s looks dope! Thanks again for a great channel! Keep up the great work❤️

I have a high end brand weekend bag that I had when I was at school, it's from a top tier brand called "Hi-Tec." It must be good cos I've had since 1993 and it still holds all my pants in it just fine. Maybe one day I will be swimming in a pond like yours TGV but for now I think I will stick with "Old Tecy" or maybe a Tesco bag for life (one of those top quality material ones that are a pound, I aint cheap right). To be fair the bag looks great, I just can't get excited about bags myself. Mrs was swooning for a Mulberry Bayswater a few years back and I got her one for Xmas, she loves it and treats it like a baby. Makes me feel not so bad about loving the watches. Great vid TGV!
I'm not a bag person but this video makes me appreciate a good bag. Maybe I'll get something like this bag one of these days to replace my aging travel companion.
I love a good briefcase and weekend bag. The classic Louis Vuitton just speaks to me though. Not the LV print but the checkered pattern. Great quality.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for this. I've been looking for a weekend bag for over a year with nothing that really jumped at me at that price. On another note the Murph watch from Hamilton is now available for purchase. The second hand has an Easter egg. Cheers!
TGV your a hell of a salesmen (I'm taking notes)
Keep them coming ! ! !
My father was always saying: "We are too poor to buy sh*t." Better buy good quality and reliable things and seeing it as an investment than things we would have to replace every year. Good video TGV ! Ciao from Poland !
i like to fly comfortable...not sure how you did that journey in slim fit jeans! awesome bag, i might get the briefcase version in navy. loving these videos, adds variety and class to the channel!
Great little piece of art, thanks TGV

Great product review, sir. The robustness of proper leather products and quality zippers are under appreciated in my opinion. I would like to suggest a leather wallet review in a future EDC video. O&U! Regards, Koen

Carl Friedrik products are the best. Great video, sir.
Very nice. Just bought myself a Barbour Wax Explorer Holdall. It's pretty durable & not too fancy for travel. At only £149 it's also an absolute bargain.

I bought a Carl F. cardholder/wallet (Swanfield) based on TGV's recommendation. Very happy with it. Paid thru their website and the communication was fine. The bag in this vid is beautiful and a solid value, Gucci & Prada would charge you $2-3 grand...probably more
Elegant....pure class.....
Beautiful bag.l can not justify $650.00 for it.l would rather have an SKX and a SARY082.But l would love to find a gently used one for a better price.Great review.

I thought I could sit through a bag review. I was wrong. Could use a good watch video. I enjoy your enthusiasm regardless.
No Squale on the trip?! Thanks for content .
The designed shape is truly nice touch..
"Let's get the basic specifications out of the way..." Ahah 😀. Great video.
Outstanding piece! P.S. The stress in "Bergamo" goes on the "e". ;)
Brilliant looking bag, TGV. Excellent choice. A good bag is an excellent thing to invest in and helps save costs many, many years down the road. Curiously, I didn't catch the name of the watch you had on during the wrist check, I think I was distracted by one of my cats. Have you got a link I can check it out at? Cheers.
I got the coach one for 50% off during their Boxing Day sale. Probably pay for the name at retail price but for that kind of deal I think it’s been great.
TGV, love the bag and the other CF products but do you know of a less expensive brand that's similar? Love the reviews on different products as well.
Hmm, overhead compartment compatible? That's great.
Just curious, where in Italy is your family from?

Pure class for sure... If someone wanted to go even more individualistic, they could get a shoemaker to custom make a leather bag to their own specifications...
You should mention when youre doing and AD..
Look at that pristine leather all smooth and beautiful.....far to nice.i would be so scared of scuffing it.just my scruffy old backpak will do on planes.might use it if I was driving to my 5 star hotel.good work fella.

Really love that brand. I bought the same wallet as you (but in blue) after seeing one of your videos. Amazing quality. I just wish they had a more "Italian" name, they shoud be proud of that rather than wanting to sound German. Great video as always 😉👍
TGV hamilton murph is arrived !! When you can review it???
That bag....... the epitome of coolth , no doubts ! I bought a Rolex GMT (black bezel), came with the jubilee in 1976. Just looks right !
Where is your jacket from?
Is chrono24 a solid place to buy used watches?
I love the dark brown. $650.00 is actually half the price I would have guessed. I was thinking 1,300 dollars. So the price is very fair and reasonable for that kind of quality and durability. Superb video.
Can you do a new EDC video?

I like stylish gear but something you can still use without worry if your trip takes a turn down the rugged path.
How do you feel about the urwerk or devon syle watches of the world.. I know they are not obtainable by the masses. However, from an horology and micro-engineering. standpoint where do these rank for you?
nice looking bag. you're quite the dapper gent. myself, i am more maxpedition and khaki type. i do have around a dozen halliburton suitcases and brief cases. these were purchased at yard sales and my days of carrying a suitcase through an airport are over , but i just can't pass one up.
Those bags perfectly compliment The gentlemanly attire and wrist watch. To most it may seem pricey, but if you are a dapper gentleman, a bag like that is a must have. Who would wear trainers with slacks?
Saluti dall' Italia! Guardo sempre i tuoi video con molto piacere e divertimento! Complimenti per i contenuti che proponi!

I have a black Nike backpack circa 2017, it works just fine for my needs, it cost me £25.
Who takes care of Ernest when you are on holiday?
Can get the orange lining now which would be way better.
Sorry but I can't see anything but a gigantic purse. It's happened to me with some messenger bags where after a few days I look at and say, oh damn it, I just bought a purse. Style is a fickle mistress.
