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.

Genuine and excellent.

I’m not a regular on-line shopper, concerned about scam websites and poor quality products. I’m so glad I took a chance on this one!
Excellent quality and good value for money - great design, thick leather and nice attention to detail. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and its products.

Thanks James, that's great to hear! Thanks again for including a photo review.

Much Better Than Expected

I ordered this on Black Friday, getting a good price. I was skeptical on just how good it would look, function, & hold up with heavy use. I have two other leather bags that I love, but I wanted to mix it up a bit. It feels good quality, and it doesn't fold and crinkle like cheap 'paper leather' that I have seen with other leather messenger bags on Amazon.

I was impressed with the color. Granted, I'm sure there is a lot of color variations from bag to bag, but I love this 'starting' color on mine. Overtime, the wear, stretching and scratches will only make it look better.

There isn't a smell on the outside, other than the smell of real leather. The inside canvas has a slight smell, but I know that'll fade with time. I am letting it breathe for a week or two before using it. If it doesn't dissipate, I may use some kind of conditioner on the canvas to try and wash it out.

I'm excited to put it through the paces, and keep it in the bag rotation.

Thanks Eric for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We really appreciate it. We're delighted you like the bag and your feedback has been passed on to our team for review. Thanks again!

This is of excellent quality. Most accolades have already been expressed. To offer a new one, let me state this:" After your demise, your children will fight over who gets this bag!"

Classy 'go bag'

Honestly, I would've paid double had I known the quality!

Excellent Briefcase

This is a wonderful sturdy briefcase. I love the thicker leather that was used and the fact that it comes in a wider design that I can fit my larger 17” laptop.
