What Goes Into Every Bag
Materials, Not Marketing
Full-Grain Vegetable-Tanned Leather
The highest grade of leather — only the top 5% of hides qualify.
Full-grain preserves the top surface of the hide for maximum durability and natural aging. Vegetable tanning uses plant tannins for richer character and long-term structure.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 41 reviews.
Quality of leather is fantastic, it's thick and seems very durable, construction is not the best if I'm being honest, it's only OK. But overall, it's good for the money.
I have two of your bags now and they are fantastic! Remarkable workmanship, beautiful styling. I'll be buying more for myself and for friends and family as gifts.
Such a refreshing change from some of the false advertising you come across on the internet. Can't recommend your bags highly enough. Many thanks!
I bought this as I wanted a no-nonsense laptop bag for my work. It hasn’t disappointed, lovely workmanship in the build and a great slightly worn but perfectly usable texture to it. It’s a real eye catcher and has enough utility in the way of pockets etc to stash all my work kit, I’m very impressed. Go on and buy it, you won’t be disappointed.
The actual bag didn't quite look as weathered and characterful as the photos, but I do love it nevertheless...and having just taken it on a trip from Australia to the Maldives, it's beginning to develop an aged look – so, all good!!!
This was the 2nd bag I ordered from this company. I was looking to replace the one I'd used heavily with the same bag, but the bag shipped, although similar and of good quality, was not the same as advertised.
Awesome. Was everything we hoped it would be. Gift for daughter graduating both High School & college at the same time with Associates Degree. She & I had only discussed what she wanted in a bag. She loved it. Quite large against her but had to have something that would take 18" laptop for engineering school. I was concerned when I realized it was shipping from India. Came within days. Wife & I were really impressed but the real test was when daughter open her present. SHE LOVED IT. I will not hesitate to buy from Classy Leather in the future! CF
Excellent, old school quality. They took longer than they should have to ship it, given that they said it was in stock, but they made it right by including a free shaving kit. Very pleased, and highly recommend their products.
I live in New Zealand, I like to know what I own is unique here, my Full Grain Buffalo briefcase exceeded expectations! My second briefcase purchase from Classy Leather Bags the first I ordered - The Denver Buffalo - was too large. I used it for a solid 18mths and then decided to upgrade due to its size so I gifted it to my son. I hit the jackpot with my FGB. I went for a used worn look in a darker brown. Don’t get me wrong I loved TDB made from high quality leather but it looked too new it would’ve taken 50yrs to get the aged worn look I was after. I love that’s what my FGB gives me, that aged professor’s briefcase vibe. It’s zipped two outer pockets an additional plus. Downsizing to the 15inch was perfect forcing me to carry less contents meaning light weight. And a classy sophisticated look ideal as I work in education. Highly recommended these products (I also have the Traveller Weekend Bag and x2 men’s toilet bags). And quick free shipping to New Zealand , I love you guys!!
You emailed me and gave the tracking number and said when it was going to arrive. I love the brief case. Reminded me of Indiana Jones..... I'm very happy
Thankyou
Nice worn in look and feel
Seems to be durable as I have 2 laptops in it and so far so good ! Put some leather treatments on as I’m sure ut will see a rain shower from time to time
Love the lining
