"I would buy another one, but I don't think it's going to give up the ghost any time soon!"

"I searched high and low for a functional travel back pack for months (I fly twice every week across the country) that had the roller bag strap on the back.

Once I saw this I liked it. Now that I've had it for several weeks and it has 1000s of miles on it, I love it!I have spent some time on it weathering it a bit and it looks amazing and looking better all the time. I already get compliments on it.

I would buy another one, but I don't think it's going to give up the ghost any time soon! Buy it!"

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.

What type of leather are your bags made from?

Our bags are made from a range of quality full grain and top grain leathers. Our leathers are renowned for their durability, rich texture, and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time.

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.

What is your return and exchange policy?

We offer hassle-free returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll make it right.

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. We’re confident in the quality of our products and want you to shop with peace of mind.

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.

Can I personalize or customize my leather bag?

While we don’t offer monogramming, our high-quality leather products can easily be personalized by a local leatherworker for a custom touch.

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?

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.

Heavy Duty Back Pack

I’m very pleased with my purchase. Six months prior, I made a mistake by purchasing a high in back pack and matching hand bag ($1500.00) . The high end products could not handle my outdoor rough life style. The real leather company has superior products at a fraction of the cost ( This is my second product purchase ). I can take my bag or pack anywhere, formal or camping.

Thanks David!

Great backpack, Wish the adjustment ranges were bigger

Bought this backpack to replace another leather backpack from this company (the first was stolen, it didn’t wear out- I loved that bag so much!) this one is still great, but I wish there was a tiny bit more flexibility on the adjustable straps.
The arm straps already come as short as possible but I need them a few inches tighter to really sit where I’d prefer, and the magnetic metal closers to hold the flap down are also a bit short if I’ve got the bag stuffed full.

Very minor complaints in the grand scheme of a really wonderful bag. The leather does come a little patina’d but I use this for traveling and I like the look. If you are looking for a glossy perfect bag I’d suggest having some leather conditioner on hand. The material is thick and durable- and the zippers are a bit stiff but very heavy duty. No worries that the zipper will pull off track or pop.

Thanks Emily! Sorry to hear your first bag was stolen. Thank you for your feedback - it has been passed to our design team for review.

My new favorite bag!

This bag is beautiful! I absolutely love it, the inside is spacious with plenty of pockets, fits my laptop very well and snuff making it feeling very secure. Great bag for business or traveling, i would rate it 10 stars if i could, defiantly recommend!

Perfect!

I bought this backpack for work. It is just perfect!
Lots of different sizes of pockets for storage, my laptop is well protected, the backpack slides easily over the handle of a trolley when travelling, and last but not least, it looks really nice.
It's not bulky but elegant and you just can't believe what all fits into it when you open the pockets ;-)

Compact backpack

This was a gift for my husband. He loves it! It is a quality leather product. His only feedback is that the handle placement causes the bag to lean forward when carrying and it is a little small for his hands. Customer service was excellent!

Initial review

First week using the bag, taking my first international journey next week
Only criticism is the two fromt pocket zippers should zip in the other direction

Love this bag!!

I searched high and low for a functional travel back pack for months ( I fly twice every week across the country ) that had the roller bag strap on the back. Once I saw this I liked it. Now that I’ve had it for several weeks and it has 1000s of miles on it, I love it! I have spent some time on it “weathering” it a bit and it looks amazing and looking better all the time. I already get compliments on it. Plenty of room for my laptop/charger, my thick Bible, headphones, cables, water bottles, and the rest of my gear. I would buy another one, but I don’t think it’s going to “give up the ghost” any time soon!!! Buy it!

Thanks so much Dustin! This is terrific!
