Adding a sense of exoticism and additional luxury to our classic [Tripp](https://lotuffleather.com/products/the-american-alligator-tripp) and [Duffle Travel Bag](https://lotuffleather.com/collections/women/products/american-alligator-duffle-travel-bag) designs, this is the ultimate in exquisite craftsmanship. There’s nothing more rare or special than these bags, and they’re tailor-made for the bold epicurean who’s always impeccably dressed and singular in their style.    ![Lotuff Leather American Alligator Duffle in black](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gator2-1.jpg?width=1126&name=gator2-1.jpg "Lotuff Leather American Alligator Duffle in black") The American Alligator Tripp features an all-leather lining to help maintain its characteristic structured shape, a crossbody strap, and an extended zipper for easy access to the contents inside. On the larger side, the American Alligator Duffle is perfectly sized to function as a carry-on, and has reinforced wrap-around handles to ensure safe carrying. Rare and utterly attention-grabbing, these are elegant statement pieces to be used anywhere and everywhere.   ![Lotuff Leather American Alligator Tripp, lifestyle](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gator3-1.jpg?width=1126&name=gator3-1.jpg "Lotuff Leather American Alligator Tripp, lifestyle") Our alligator bags take much [longer to create](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/making-the-american-alligator-tripp-from-start-to-finish) than the rest of our collection due to the delicate nature of the hides, but the result is always something remarkable. Alligator hides are very small and thin, which means our artisans are extremely careful to choose their motions wisely and execute on everything perfectly. But don’t get us wrong—we absolutely love making these pieces! The challenge is all worth it in the end when everyone can stand back and admire the gorgeous bag they’ve worked so hard to bring to life. The only thing better? Knowing it’s going to be carried and loved well into the future by its lucky new owner.   [Shop the American Alligator Tripp](https://lotuffleather.com/products/the-american-alligator-tripp)   [Shop the American Alligator Duffle](https://lotuffleather.com/collections/women/products/american-alligator-duffle-travel-bag) ### Subscribe to Our Blog ### Leave a Comment ### Posts by Topic -
