About the bag they keep picking
All three awards went to the Nova Large — a 48-liter, carry-on-size (21" × 12" × 10") wheeled duffle in full-grain pebbled leather that unfolds into a 48" hanging garment bag, with a separate shoe compartment and an aviation-grade telescoping handle. It's $665 in leather and also comes in lighter ballistic nylon.
