For 2012, this three-year-old Vancouver-based brand applied the same winning formula - functional, affordable, simple design in a Skittles array of colors - to its Novel duffel. Its killer app is a waterproof zip-up shoe hatch on the side, which also works as a dirty laundry quarantine or a safe space for prone-to-spill grooming products,   $80, available at herschelsupply.com
