What should it be called? “Duffle bag” is added automatically after the title description, while in the category section, it is called “duffel bag” In “The Weekend Just Got More Exciting…” email, Zazzle calls them duffel bags. In the dictionary a duffel bag is considered to be a seesack and a duffle bag a travel bag so it seems they are two different things.
“Duffel” and “duffle” are both correct spellings for a large bag made of thick fabric. “Duffel” is the preferred spelling in American English, while “duffle” is more common in British English.
You could be right but I think Zazzle should decide how it should be spelled on their website, otherwise some people might think creators are poor spellers.

I doubt that, since both spellings are correct. They are probably doing it to attract customers who spell it either way. It is a good SEO strategy.

I tried “Duffle Bag” in the search window and got nothing. When I tried “Duffel Bag” the item came up. Zazzle’s search algorithm is kind of sucky. I should have recognized the alternate spelling or even a close close spelling in a search, but It seems to VERY specific. So, I guess, for Zazzle, " duffel" is the only way to spell it.
There’s probably a JavaScript line of code that makes “duffle = duffel”.
