Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack (2 Racquet)

Two frames slide in full vertical, the SX Club's polyester weave hugging them like dough in a proving tin, air mesh straps breathing beneath the load. Peshawar's bakers shout recipes across the alley; the storytellers catch every word and feed you both.

Four stops before the checkout

Peshawar, Pakistan
01
Colee Hammock tennis fitness classes — Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack at Qissa Khwani Bazaar tea-house street in Peshawar
Stop one

Qissa Khwani Bazaar, the street of storytellers, still lined with tea houses

Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack (2 Racquet): Qissa Khwani is the “Street of Storytellers,” where travelers once swapped tales in tea houses; frankly, I’d need two cups of kahwa just to narrate how neatly this bag carries two racquets.

02
Colee Hammock tennis fitness classes — Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack in the white marble courtyard of Mahabat Khan Mosque in Peshawar
Stop two

the Mahabat Khan Mosque of 1630, a white marble courtyard between two tall minarets

Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack (2 Racquet): The Mahabat Khan Mosque dates to 1630 and frames its white marble courtyard with two tall minarets; it is so elegantly plated that even my best dessert tray feels underdressed.

03
Colee Hammock tennis fitness classes — Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack at Sethi House in Mohallah Sethian, Peshawar
Stop three

Sethi House in Mohallah Sethian, carved woodwork and coloured glass over a deep summer cellar

Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack (2 Racquet): Sethi House is famous for carved woodwork, coloured glass, and a deep summer cellar; as a chef, I respect any building that understands shade, storage, and the sacred duty of staying cool.

04
Colee Hammock tennis fitness classes — Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack inside the Peshawar Museum hall of Buddhist stone carving
Stop four

the Peshawar Museum and its hall of Buddhist stone carving from the Kushan cities

Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack (2 Racquet): The Peshawar Museum holds a major collection of Buddhist stone carving from the Kushan cities, and these sculptures have lasted far longer than any snack I have ever put in a side pocket.

Dunlop SX Club Long Tennis Backpack (2 Racquet)

Written for this world alone.

The right question about a bag is the same as the right question about a kitchen: where does everything live, and can you reach it without moving three other things. A long backpack answers that better than a fat one, and this is the long one.

What it is. The SX Club Long Backpack is the extended-format member of Dunlop's SX Club range, cut tall enough to take two racquets at their full length rather than folding your kit around a stubby compartment.

The SX Club bags are built from layered polyester — 420D, 500D and 600D, the heavier weaves placed where the bag scrapes and lands — with air mesh shoulder straps, which is the detail that decides whether you carry a loaded bag comfortably or arrive with two red stripes across your shoulders.

The compartment layout is arranged so racquets, apparel and accessories each have somewhere to be. It is a club bag, not a tournament coffin, and it is honest about that: two frames, a change of kit, a bottle, and the small things, all findable.

The colourway is the SX line's teal, black and yellow.

And it wants Peshawar, which is the correct posting for anything that carries food. Qissa Khwani Bazaar is the street of storytellers — caravans stopped here, and the tea houses that fed them are still open, still pouring, and green tea with cardamom in that street is one of the world's great drinks.

Chapli kabab is made here and made properly, flat, wide, cooked in its own fat, and you eat it with naan straight off the wall of the oven. Up in Mohallah Sethian, Sethi House has carved woodwork and coloured glass over a deep summer cellar dug so the family could sit out the heat underground, which is climate control by architecture and I respect it enormously.

You will get use out of this bag everywhere from a two-court club session to a weekend away back home, and by the way, the Peshawar Museum holds a hall of Buddhist stone carving out of the Kushan cities, and it deserves the whole morning.
