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.

Finally

I used to work in the city, but recently moved to a job nearer home. I've been looking for a messenger bag that didn't feel like a downgrade from my leather briefcase. It's been really hard to find something that is of the same quality and has that premium leather feel. The herald really hits the mark. The leather is very thick, but still refined and really gives a polished look. Perfect for commutes, cafes or client meetings. I've had compliments on it already and there is a surprising amount of space in there too! Thanks so much, very impressed and will be back to shop at the real leather company.

Thanks so much we're delighted to hear that!

Smart and sturdy

This bag feels like something I'll hold on to for years. Clean, smooth and a great build. Leather also smells amazing. Fits my macbook nicely and all my essentials for a busy day or commute.

Thanks!
