The Brown Buffalo Drops New Collection

December 1, 2025

Costa Mesa, CA (December 1, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Cult-favorite bag brand, The Brown Buffalo, founded by renowned designer Douglas Davidson is launching a new collection of purpose-built bags. Operating in partnership with Salvation Brands, whose portfolio includes Ruby Mint, SPC/LST, and Bootcap, The Brown Buffalo draws on decades of design and manufacturing expertise to craft rugged, meticulously constructed bags trusted by creatives, travelers and everyday commuters.

Davidson has spent over two decades designing carry systems for elite athletes, military teams, and globally recognized brands, bringing deep hands-on manufacturing expertise from years working inside factories across the USA and Asia. “At The Brown Buffalo, we design with reverence for form and function,” says Davidson. “Every piece of gear responds to real-life needs for those who live with purpose and move through the world with intention. More than just bags, the brand stands for self-reliance, creative autonomy, and honoring the human hands behind every stitch, a philosophy shaped by years immersed in global production, learning from master craftsmen and visionary designers alike.”

Tyson White, founder and president of Salvation Brands, adds, “The Brown Buffalo represents the core values of our group – imagination, craftsmanship, and purposeful design. Launching these new bags alongside the Duffalo’s return reflects our continued commitment to thoughtful, utility-driven products.”

The Brown Buffalo expands its lineup with three new bags made for everyday use, the relaunch of a fan favorite duffle, the Duffalo, and a selection of new accessories. The Standard Issue and Rolltop are crafted from tough Cordura 1050D Ballistic Nylon to meet the demands of city streets, backcountry adventures, and everything in between. The Standard Issue features a modular interior for work, travel, or adventure; the Rolltop offers a minimalist silhouette with weather-resistant, expandable storage and high-durability construction for high-output movement; and the Packersling provides a compact, crossbody solution with reinforced panels and precision stitching for quick access and long-lasting performance.

The Duffalo, reintroduced for 2025, is a ~50L duffel with Cordura enhanced construction and reinforced seams. TSA-approved and optimized for real world travel, the Duffalo offers a sustainable alternative to traditional rolling luggage, reducing waste while ensuring reliability for years to come. Inspired by Davidson’s global trips, it blends function and resilience and is made for travelers who move with intent.

The new collection is now available online at The Brown Buffalo with the Duffalo shipping mid-December.
