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.

Sleek and built to last

I’ve had my fair share of disappointing work bags I've bought online, so I was hesitant to get another one without seeing it first. But after reading the reviews, I decided to give The Heritage a try. I’m so glad I did. The leather is incredibly thick and durable - like nothing I've came across before. The design is sleek, and it has the space I need for my laptop and documents (inside pictured here). This feels like the kind of bag that you buy once and use for a lifetime. It’s helped me stay organized and feel more polished at work.

That's amazing. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review!!

A bag that keeps up

I work long hours and travel a lot for business, so I need a bag that’s reliable. My old briefcase wore out after less than 6 months, and it never really felt secure. The heritage changed all of that. The leather is tough, and I can tell it’s going to last years. Plus, it looks great—everywhere I go, people are asking where I got it. It’s functional, stylish, and is great for my work life. I highly recommend it.

That's wonderful to hear, thank you so much BY!

Really stunning

This satchel is really something. The leather is very thick, it feels durable which is very important for me. The stitching is high quality and everything feels like it’s well put together.

My laptop fits nicely and it really is stunning when you have a good look at it. Attaching a photos of how mine looks. Thanks Real Leather!

That's amazing, thanks Harris!

A great gift

I got this for my husband as an anniversary gift. It's really nice and he thinks so too. I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt I had to here. I've got a few nice handbags that were quite a bit more expensive than this. The leather on this one actually feels better than all of them! Highly recommend, great work.

Thanks Diane! This is amazing to hear - I passed your feedback on to the design team. They say thank you too!

I finally look the part

I’m a lawyer and I always knew appearances mattered, but I didn’t realize how much my old backpack brought me down until my wife got me this bag. I’ve been practicing for years, and now I finally feel like I look the part. I get compliments on it all the time. Thanks RLC! Will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for taking the time! This is wonderful to read.

Better in person

The pictures don’t do the heritage justice. The leather is beautiful, and the bag is built to last. I’ve already gotten a couple of compliments at work.

Great! We're delighted to hear you're enjoying The Heritage.

Great Bag

Really beautiful, well made bag
A little small (narrower) than I thought but will force me to minimize what I carry.

Thanks JB! Please get in touch if you're interested in an exchange for something a little wider, we'd be delighted to help.
