Was watching Mad Men, "A Summer Man" (S4E8), and I noticed the leather gym bag Don was carrying at the beginning of the episode in green - saw a similar model from RL in canvas and brown leather they were handing out with last years colognes, but this one really got to me. I was wondering if anyone knew the brand or another trusted, reputable brand with a similar product. Here's a photo:

So it's a mere $880 bucks! Looks like it'd hold plenty of cigarettes and diapers.

Isn't that just a classic 1960's vinyl travel bag - a duffle bag or dilly bag, they're sometimes called. Try the charity stores. I've owned a couple of them from that very source.

I had one very similar to that when I was in High School in the early to mid 1970's. I think that a look around the charity stores is a good idea.

This bag isn't so shiny but the shape/handles/piping are really similar, even the diagonal stripes leading to the handles (bonus, it's not $800):
