You’re probably right. You know much more about this than me. I’ve been reading about this bag since 2020. It seemed like it was a collectors item almost immediately. I think it being made in the US by a (former) heritage brand and it having a classic, accessible design, also adds to the allure. I’m surprised some other off market bag manufacturer doesn’t create a very similar bag.
Hey - I understand why people like it too - for real. But it's never a $2500 bag. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to say that any bag is a $2500 bag unless it has historic significance (i.e. this was Teddy Roosevelt's duffel bag).
I actually think Hermes makes a great $2,500 bag but unfortunately some of them are like $10k. Not that I could afford one at $2,500 or would even buy one if I could.
As a leathercrafter myself, I concur, Hermes makes absolutely gorgeous bags worth every bit as much as 5k, but you'll only get one thats 10k if its more than just "pre-loved." They're more like $25k++++

I'd pay a lot more for TR's duffel bag than 2500. But I'd be too afraid to use it 😂
It's a $2500 bag if there's $2000 cash inside of it.
can't argue with that.

all GoRuck has to do is make a heritage skate ruck and they've got it.
But you get $5 off with the coupon code!
Very true, I change my opinion. This is just buy
Lol, that's insane. I've got a 24L Burton that I love, it's a great bag, but $2500 🤪!
Looks like shit for $2500
Right? You would at least think you get some handmade carbonfiber buckles or something...
There is a $5 coupon code!!! Thats great!!?
Hmm
It’s a collectors item. Like cards or cars.
Oh, I agree that bags are collectors items. I'm suggesting this one is not worth being seen as a grail the way that it is.
While I agree with you, I can also see why others covet it.
I think 90% of the hype was because of one article on a an online bag marketing site.
