The area is the eponym of a coarse woolen cloth, manufactured in this area from the 11th century, mainly used to make blankets, outdoor (army) coats, and tote bags.

I loved the multiple pockets, size and sturdiness. Definitely a must have if you’re an avid traveler.

tiny but extremely spacious, the shoe compartment on the bottom has to bs by far the best feature in my opinion. It’s very convenient not having your clothes mixed and stained with your shoes. My husband thought it was a dumb purchase but now he’s the one who uses it and has it with him at work (trucker)
