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 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, 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.

Leather Messenger Bags for all Occasions

Our leather messenger bags for men and women, whether light tan, dark brown or black, have many pockets for convenient and secure storage. The durable leather offers protection for even the most taxing of adventures.

With a main compartment for daily essentials like an iPad and a separate 15-17 inch laptop compartment, messenger bags often have great functionality; with easy-access pockets and zippers for keys, pens, wallet, water bottle and headphones.

Messenger Bags, Laptop Briefcases, Duffles and Backpacks

Younger attorneys, IT professionals, and engineers often tell us of the great use they get out of their laptop messenger bags.

If you are looking for something a little more refined, perhaps as a banker, judge or doctor, our leather briefcases are our best sellers. If storage space isn’t a priority and you just need to carry your laptop to and from the office, we love a thinner leather laptop bag, brown leather satchel bag or belt bag.

For those looking for the ultimate convenience in a work bag, our trending leather backpacks are built to carry all your gear. Perfect for those who might cycle to work and hike on the weekends.

For the weekend warriors who look to get away from the hustle and bustle whenever they can, our leather duffles and travel bags work great as carry-ons and can fit all the gear you need for a wild weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why choose a leather messenger bag from The Real Leather Company?

Because you want something that will last. Something that will be with you for the long haul.

At The Real Leather Company, we offer a comprehensive selection of full grain leather and top grain leather messenger bags, all built to outlast you.

We’ve got styles that are functional and attractive, but most importantly, our expert craftsmanship means they are built for the long haul.

2. How much do leather messenger bags for men cost?

High quality genuine leather leather messenger bags are luxury products.

The cost reflects the quality and durability of these stylish accessories. Our messenger bags range in price from $50 to $400. On the lower end will be our easier to produce canvas messenger bags.

Buffalo leather messenger bags are usually the most expensive to produce.

TLDR: materials matter.

Over time, the cost of cheaper alternatives (and their many replacements) will exceed the cost of one high-quality item. A good leather bag can last for decades and will often only look and feel better with age.

3. How do I clean a real leather shoulder bag?

Men’s messenger bags can be easily cleaned with a soft, barely damp cloth and quality leather conditioner.

See our full guide here: 3 Step Leather Care Guide for information on how to fully care for your bag.

4. Can leather crossbody bags get wet?

High-quality leather bags, while being water-resistant, aren't completely waterproof. 

Leather is incredibly durable and can easily withstand rain on the daily commute, but it’s important to understand what to do to maintain the luxury appearance of leather goods if there is a spillage.

If a leather handbag, sling bag or leather tote bag gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from unnatural heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.

5. Do I get a warranty?

We think you’ll love your new leather crossbody bag. But just in case it’s not quite right - all customers are protected by The Real Leather Guarantee.

With The Real Leather Guarantee, you can checkout confidently, knowing that you have a whole 30 days to return your men’s leather messenger bag if its not quite right.

Just add an item to the shopping bag to see the regular price, sale price and subtotal, then choose a shipping option and enter your credit card details in our secure checkout. Ordering is currently available in USD and CAD.

We currently offer free USA shipping on all first orders today - from New York to California.
