FAQ

Find all the answers you need to enjoy our premium leather goods with confidence. Explore our FAQs to learn about our high-quality materials, easy returns, free 1 year warranty, shipping, and more.

How long do your leather bags last?

To make our leather bags, we use only the finest full grain leather, reinforced hardware and expert craftsmanship.

With proper care, they’ll age beautifully and only get better over the years. Many of our customers see them as heirlooms in the making.

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

All our bags come with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. We’ll repair or replace your bag if anything goes wrong. Read more on our Warranty Policy.

Can I return or exchange my order?

Absolutely—we offer hassle-free returns within 30 days and exchanges are also available. We’ll make sure you end up with the right piece. Read more on our Returns Policy.

How long does shipping take, and is it free?

Your order will be processed within 1-2 days, and then delivery typically takes 2-5 days. Best of all, shipping is free to the contiguous US, UK, and Canada. Read more on our Shipping Policy.

How do I care for your leather bags?

To keep our bags looking their best, we recommend regular conditioning with a leather cream and avoiding prolonged exposure to water. For more information, read our leather care guide.

Will my device fit?

To check if your device fits any product:

1. Measure diagonally across your screen (only the screen, not the frame or edges).

2. Round down to the nearest whole inch (e.g., 15.6” becomes 15”).

3. If your measurement is equal to or smaller than the size given on the product page specifications or size guide, your device will fit. If larger, consider a different bag size.

Example: A 14-inch laptop will fit any bag labeled for up to 15-inch devices

Will this bag fit me?

Yes - our leather bags are designed for all body sizes, with adjustable shoulder and backpack straps available on our leather goods.

Real leather is naturally heavier, so we’ve made the straps easy to adjust for maximum comfort and effortless carrying.

Is your checkout safe and secure?

Yes—our site uses full SSL encryption and secure payment providers. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and pay-in-4 options.

How can I contact customer support?

Our leather experts are here to help. Reach out anytime via our contact page and we’ll get back to you quickly.

Beautiful

I hunted high and low for the perfect briefcase for my husband. We’ve had some terrible luck in the past. The color is beautiful and unique. My husband was very pleased with this bag. I’ll update after he uses it more consistently for a few months but so far so good 😊

Thanks Angela! That's terrific to read. We're delighted he likes his new bag,

husband loves it

When we unpacked it, it looked like a really great bag. We were right! The leather is super nice and it looks well made as you can see from the photo I've attached. My husband really likes it and says a few guys at work have been asking him where he got it! Fully recommend!!!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We're delighted to hear that your husband is enjoying this bag.

Great Bag!

Purchased the European in dark brown for my older son. It’s just beautiful and he loves it. Very well made. Highly recommended!

Thanks Sheri!

Wavey Zipper

I really like the bag overall, I am just concerned about the long term performance of the zipper.

It waves to close and open it. I am hoping it straightens out over time.

Otherwise it is great.

Stay tuned.

Thank you

Christman, M. (Warsaw, US)
Very handsome bag

Purchased as a gift and he absolutely LOVES it. He had a similar leather bag for 30 years that finally started to fall apart. This is an absolutely beautiful replacement. Looking closely at the quality of the leather and craftsmanship... this should get him through the next 30 years.

Awesome Bag!

I love how soft the leather is and the durability of the European. I am a left hand amputee and how it’s made makes it very easy for me to use! Thank you! Mark

Thanks Mark, that's really terrific to read!

Perfect

The search is over! Years I have looked for the perfect leather bag that emitted quality construction, impeccable style and timeless beauty….I fell in love at first sight online. It quite honestly…the pictures do not do it justice. I look forward to having it on my side and with me wherever I go. It steals the show. Not gonna lie…I kinda wish it was a one off because this bag is going to sell!!

That's amazing, thanks Sean!

Gary T. (Medford, US)
Extremely pleased with the European.

Very nice bag. Leather is soft and craftsmanship is impeccable. The room in this bag is impressive, with more than enough room for all my electronics and work getup. Couldn’t be happier with this product.

Thanks Gary!

Mary J.S. (Harrisonburg, US)
Husband loves his "European" bag

My husband says every time he looks at his new bag, he smiles because it is so beautiful. My only worry about it is the stiff straps the enclose the outer pockets (making them hard to unbuckle), but that does not seem to bother him.

That's great, thanks Mary! Please note that as natural leather is used, it will occasionally be a little stiff. This will fade over time with use.
