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.

Thanks William!

Sass
Very high quality leather laptop bag

A very professional and executive looking laptop case. Real leather which is soft and has 2 compartments and a whole bunch of zippers everywhere. It really has got a lot of room without being too heavy.

The zips which on most bags I've owned have broken seem very sturdy on this one. Comes with a shoulder strap as well. Love the real leather.

Thanks Sass that's great to hear!

Briefcase Review

I am pleased with the briefcase so far. It is larger than my previous one, which I had for many years, so switching to a new one was not what I was looking for. This bag has enough pockets to stay organized, and the zippers are smooth to operate so far. Time will tell how long the inside holds up; the exterior looks like it will last 7-8 years. I recommend this briefcase to the person who wants a larger bag. It is well worth the price; you get what you paid for with this one.

Everything worked out

Initially received the wrong item in the mail. The customer support team was quick in getting me the correct item and making sure I was satisfied. The communication was speedy and effective. I am beyond pleased with the correct product! Cannot wait to give it as a gift for a law graduate.

Thanks Rebecca! We're so sorry for the mix up that resulted in you getting the wrong item. Thanks again for your understanding.
