Bond is handed his dinner jacket the way it ought to be handed over: unfolded, uncreased, ready to put on. In No Time To Die, Paloma unrolls a long olive canvas carrier to present Daniel Craig’s Bond with his Tom Ford tuxedo. It is on screen for moments and easy to miss. It is the suit carrier half of the Bennett Winch S.C. Holdall, and the pair together are, in our view, the most sensible way we know to travel with tailoring.
In the film
Paloma, played by Ana de Armas, unrolls the carrier to show Bond the Tom Ford tuxedo he then changes into. Only the suit carrier is seen in No Time To Die; the holdall it wraps around never appears. The olive carrier on screen is the same model as the Olive S.C. Holdall Bennett Winch sells today.
The details of the Bennett Winch S.C. Holdall
Two bags, one system. The carrier wraps around the holdall, so a jacket and trousers lie over a wide cylinder instead of being folded hard. Magnets and straps hold the two together, and either half can travel on its own.
Weatherproof canvas. The outside of the carrier is 24oz British dyed, waterproof cotton canvas, so a good suit can be set down on a wet pavement without fuss. Inside, a soft 12oz cotton lining keeps the cloth from rubbing. The holdall itself is a lighter 18oz canvas twill.
Plain by design. The holdall has no lining, laptop pocket or internal zips; Bennett Winch left them out to keep the weight down once a suit is wrapped around it. You do get an outside pocket for passport, keys and wallet, a removable waterproof shoe bag, a slimline coat-hanger and a detachable cotton shoulder strap.
Brass and leather. The hardware is solid brass, welded in London, and will turn warmer and more golden with use. The handles, trim and base are Italian leather, and the zips are YKK in golden brass.
Sized for the cabin. The holdall holds 32 litres and the assembled bag measures 55 x 36 x 45cm. Bennett Winch says it meets carry-on rules for most full-service airlines. The carrier takes one full suit, with room left in the holdall for folded clothes.
Made in England. The brief came from Simon Crompton of Permanent Style, and the maker says the design took more than a year to settle. The balance between outer carrier and inner holdall was the hard part.
Owning it now
This is a bag for the man with one or two good suits who moves them about: a wedding weekend, a client dinner in another city, a black-tie evening that starts at the airport. It does what a hanging bag does without the awkward drape, and what a holdall does without the crushing.
Which colour? Olive is the one in the film and the one we would choose. It is quiet beside navy and charcoal, and the brass and leather sit well against it. Navy, black, chocolate and sand cost the same; the leather and suede versions cost more.
Weigh it honestly. Empty, it weighs 2.2kg, and the plain interior suits a few nights away rather than a week. If you rarely travel with tailoring, it is a lot to spend on a bag. If you do, it is the right one to own.
Care. Wipe the canvas with a damp cloth or sponge and a little natural soap, let it dry at room temperature, and never machine wash it. Keep it out of long direct sun, and store it in the dust bag supplied. Brass can be polished if you prefer it bright, taking care to keep polish off the canvas and leather. We would leave it be.

Questions
Is this the exact bag in No Time To Die?
It is the same model and colour. Only the olive suit carrier is seen in the film, where Paloma uses it to present Bond’s tuxedo. The holdall that comes with it does not appear on screen.
How much does the Bennett Winch S.C. Holdall cost?
The RRP for the canvas S.C. Holdall in Olive is US$1,650, or £995, at the time of writing, October 2026. The suit carrier, removable shoe bag and slimline coat-hanger are included.
Can it go in the cabin?
Generally, yes. Bennett Winch says it meets carry-on rules for most full-service airlines, and that it has travelled on nearly every one without trouble. Budget airlines with smaller allowances are another matter, so check your airline’s dimensions and do not overpack.
Can I use the suit carrier with another bag?
No. The maker says the holdall has a specific pear-drop shape and magnetic and leather fixings that the carrier depends on, so the two are designed as a pair. Each half works on its own, and Bennett Winch has also released a separate Trifold suit carrier, which is a different design.
