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.

High quality product

The bag surpass my expectations. Very high quality product.

Thanks Ty!

Sitka

This bag is absolutely gorgeous. It smells amazing each time that I open it.

I’ve only been using it for two weeks (back and forth down five flights of stairs and through the city to my car) however the quality seems sturdy enough to last a lifetime. The buckles are solid and the stitching is fine. The only constructive criticism that I have is that the pockets on the sides and inner compartments are on the smaller side for chargers and wallets.

Kodiak-Real leather Company. Well done!

Amazing, thanks Leon!

Quality sturdy bag with lots of compartments and configurations

Ive had this bag for a few weeks after receiving it as a gift, the first thing that must be said is that as soon as you lay hands on it you can tell its a good quality bag that will probably serve me for life.

The bag has an adjustable shoulder strap that can be removed, it has an insert that can be configured like a camera bag or removed entirely. The sizing in perfect to fit in most laptops, A4 documents and a camera/small drone. There are lots of pockets to keep odd bits secure too.

I would highly recommend this bag, its a great gift for any man as a multipurpose work/camera/laptop bag, the only downside is that is is on the heavy side due to its quality!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review and including some photos! We really appreciate you taking the time Mr Weller.

A Great Bag

This is the best messenger-type bag I've ever had. I can carry anything in it, from hardcover books to the Sunday New York Times, along with my phone, charger, wallet, lunch, and anything else I need for work. I've only had my Sitka for two weeks, but have received many compliments on it. It is very sturdy, the hardware looks great, and I feel like it will last a long time.

Thanks David!

This bag arrived in perfection. Beautifully crafted, and will be very durable. This was an excellent choice for my son’s graduation present, and he loved it.

Amazing thanks Paul!

Fantastic Bag, Excellent Quality, Serious Function

I've only had this bag for a short while now, and I will do my best to update this review after many months of ownership.

So far I've taken this bag all over town to do work in coffee shops and the like. I'm a teacher and got this just as the school year ended; I look forward to using it as my work bag.

The bag is very spacious and has excellent organization options. Its incredibly comfortable and given it's leather build is able to form to my body as I carry it around. I have traveled coast-to-coast with it on airplanes (U.S.A) and it was the perfect bag.

My initial thought upon finally holding this bag in person was that it was too large. I was worried about that, one for appearance and two for it's function. But this bag is amazing. It holds everything I need it to, and more, without feeling too bulky. In terms of messenger bags, it is a little large. If you are a smaller person this bag may be a bit much.

Thanks Patrick for taking the time to leave such a great in-depth review! We really appreciate your words and are very glad to hear of the great use you've been getting from The Sitka.
