It’s Flexible

Whether you’re grinding at the office or jet-setting across Europe, The Retro is the companion you can’t move without.He’s got more than enough room to carry all of your daily essentials, like notebooks, pens, your laptop, iPad, and more.

And when the time comes to flip the switch from business to leisure, The Retro will be up for the challenge – giving you plenty of room to organize your passports, travel docs, and spare socks.

It Cares

Like any worthy sidekick, The Retro truly gives a sack. With a protected pocket for your laptop or iPad, the things that go bump in the night (or on an airplane) won’t leave you with costly dents to repair.

This leather briefcase for men is professional enough for black tie business, but casual enough to rock it when the tie loosens up at happy hour.

It’s A Symbol of Craftsmanship

There’s no shortage of leather messenger bags on the market - but there’s only one Retro.

Travel back to a time when superior craftsmanship was a given, and quality was a promise. The Retro is the quintessential leather messenger bag made from the finest quality leather on our side of the world.

In fact, we’re talking about full grain buffalo leather lovingly prepared by artisans who’ve been doing this for decades.

It’s Comfortable

Manly rugged looks are all good and well, but no one wants a companion that makes them feel…awkward. The Retro is quite the opposite.

With a removal shoulder strap (which you probably won’t want to remove) this leather briefcase for men makes sure you’re comfy and feeling good whenever you’re in his presence.

In fact, he’ll be so comfortable on your body, you’ll likely forget he’s there – until you need those spare socks we spoke about earlier.

Worth it

After about 6 months of wear and tear this bag feels better than when it first arrived. I've been pretty rough on it and it's held up well. The color, stitching, buckles, and zippers continue to hold and it fits a lot of stuff. My laptop, books, pens, and notepads all fit. It's been wet, left in the heat, and left in the cold and it still looks and feels good. From my perspective and experience - it's worth the price.

Thanks Credence, that's terrific to hear!

Beautiful briefcases

I ordered 3 different briefcases for different purposes.
They are all lovely: beautiful quality leather, excellent workmanship, packed very well, and quick shipping.
Each case has its distinct characteristics, but all well made and functional.
All 3 will stay here at home with me. They will be used as needed for different purposes: work (my husband and I are both working as teachers right now.) and for carrying personal documents and devices.
We highly recommend the briefcases from the Real Leather Company.

That's great to hear Annette, we are delighted to read your positive review of your three bags.

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.
