In recent years, men's leather messenger bags have become one the most popular choices for a men's leather bag. As more and more men are needing to carry around laptops and other devices for work. A messenger bag has become a great choice.

We tend to see that these types of men's leather bags are more popular with professionals such as lawyers and professors. We get feedback that these bags are perfect for those who want to give a serious impression at work. But also show off a bit of their classic style.

If this sounds like what you're looking for, be sure to measure your laptop first (diagonally), then look for a messenger bag that fits your exact laptop. If you're ready to look now, feel free to browse our collection by device fit size using the filters on this page.

As leather messenger bags are usually carried with a shoulder strap, you'll want to check out the weight too (especially if you're going to be carrying it long distances). If you've never had a leather bag before, you might be a little surprised at the weight. Top tip: don't buy a bigger leather messenger bag than you need. Weight is a real thing to consider here.

We still find our leather briefcases are really popular among lawyers, doctors, executives and others in high powered professional fields.

Hard shell leather briefcases were created in a time when paper was king. Most great hard shell briefcases will now have adapted to have slots to hold your laptop and other devices, however these will still function best for those with paper heavy professions.

Soft exterior leather briefcases will tend to be a great option for those that are looking for more protection for their devices. Look for something with a shoulder strap so that when things get ready, you can swap how you're carrying your briefcase.

FAQ’s

Can leather bags get wet?

Leather bags generally have water resistance, but are not fully waterproof. Real leather has some natural water resistance, but excessive exposure to moisture can still cause damage.

Wherever possible, avoid damp or moisture on your leather goods. We know this is not always possible. So if your bag does get wet, here's what to do.

If you spill something on it, blot away the moisture with a clean dry cloth.

Caught in a rainstorm? Let your leather good completely air dry. Do not use a heat source to speed up the drying as this can damage the leather. Stuff the item with newspaper to help the bag keep its shape. This also helps to absorb moisture from the inside.

Taking proper care and precautions will help maintain the quality and longevity of your leather bag.

Most of our customers are men buying our bags. But we also see women getting great use out of them.

How do I clean my leather bag?

Treating a real leather bag with care can extend its life by years.

We recommend the following to care for your leather bag:

Always wash your hands before caring for leather. Oil from your hands can easily transfer to leather hide.

Once a week, we recommend getting a soft, dry (or slightly damp) cloth. Then briskly sweep the leather. Don't forget the inside too! Use a cloth to wipe down the lining and remove any dirt or residue.

Use a good leather cream or conditioner once or twice per year. This will prevent your leather item becoming dry or cracked. If you live in a dryer climate, you may need to do this more often.

Simply apply the cream to the entire item with a cloth and rub off any excess. We recommend using our all natural leather cream found in our store for our bags.

Be sure to take the time to care properly for your leather. If you do, your item can have a good, long life.

Real leather bags are generally more expensive than bags made from other materials. Prices can vary a lot depending on size and quality. Our collection of bags can go from $100 up to $500.

Therefore, if they last longer they are a better investment. They will actually save you money in the long run. This is because you won’t have to keep replacing your bag after a few weeks. Full grain bags and top grain bags can last a very long time.

Why are leather bags so expensive?

Items are usually more expensive when made from real leather. This is because real leather is very expensive to buy and work with. It takes special skill to be able to craft leather goods. The artisans we work with have often passed down this skill for generations.

Crafting a leather bag takes time, care and effort. Happily though, the result is worth it. Real leather bags for men will last longer than other materials. It can be a buy for life purchase.
