Fantastic Bas

It is sturdy, and holds two computers and accessories I have to tote around. Gets many compliments. The zipper exceeds expectations as it closes even when stuffing it full without failing. One of the best bags I have owned at a reasonable price. I will be buying more from this company.

Thanks Mike!

Nothing Stressed About The Distressed

A great satchel for my son's birthday gift prior to his return to college after Summer break. Strong, durable, yet supple. Looks well worn while actually really tough, strong. Love it! The only thing else I would like for myself is a Real Leather motorcycle backpack or seat-pack. Would love such a useful and reliable pack made by Real Leather.... Wonder if you guys could make that for me and for others?
Thanks!

Thanks Timothy, that's great to read! Your comments have been passed on to our team for review, thank you for the feedback!

Excellent Product

I was very pleased when I received the Bison. Very good quality craftsmanship. The bag exceeded my expectations.

Thanks Jayson!

Beyond Satisfied

The product is beautiful, workmanship and finish of the leather is fantastic. As good as the product is, the service from Real Leather is even better. Shipping was timely, I had some questions, and the responses were prompt, and all my questions were answered to my complete satisfaction. I would recommend your products unreservedly!

That's so great to read, thank you David!

Gorgeous and Stylish

Got the bag and love it. A little smaller than my former bag but just made me prioritize. Starting to show some wear and tear in the leather giving natural aged look. If you want something a little compact with a great look and sturdy feel get this!

Thanks Peter! We're delighted to hear that.

Beautiful

Thanks Alexis!

The Distressed Leather Satchel is the Highest-Quality Accessory!!!

When I first saw this satchel advertised on the Real Leather Company site, I knew I had to have it. It's even more exquisite in person. The leather is thick and substantial, with a distressed finish that makes it stand out among other business accessories. It's a professional bag with an accent all its own.

Amazing thanks Roxanne!

Keeps getting better

Every day it seems to be getting better and better.

Thanks Joe, that's great to hear!

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.
