There’s something about a great leather bag that changes the way you walk into a room.
Thrown over your shoulder on the morning commute or carried by your side as you make your way through the city, this is the kind of briefcase that feels instantly at home with a well-worn jacket, crisp shirt, or weekend denim. The rich, distressed buffalo leather gives it a confident presence without ever looking overly polished or trying too hard.
And that’s exactly the point. Every mark, crease, and variation in the leather gives the bag character. As the years pass, it doesn’t simply show wear—it develops a story of where it has been and how you’ve carried it.
From the office and daily commute to a train platform or weekend away, this is a bag made to be used, noticed, and kept. Timeless, rugged, and unmistakably handsome.

Here is the strap that holds the belt that fell off ON THE SECOND DAY that I had it. I get that this not an expensive bag but I guess you get what you pay for.

Leather is beautiful. Very soft. Lots of pockets and dividers to stay organized. An awesome bag.
Great looking roomy bag that I take this just about everywhere I go.
Absolutely love this vintage Buffalo leather bag. It is great for work and for traveling. It has so many great pockets for computers, books and smaller items. The leather grain is absolutely beautiful and smells amazing. The quality of the gold buckles is also quite impressive. I highly recommend if you need a good travel bag for work and leisure.
Love it, get compliments on it all the time. I’m a contractor and it’s the perfect blend of rugged and classy for the work I do.
Love it.

My son is a member of The Rae Band. Often there are small items he needs to tote to and from gigs tuners pics etc. that often get lost during set up and take down. Having said that, note books for random lyrics that pop into his head is what I I hope he uses it for. It’s a Christmas gift so I can’t give an honest review as of yet. As far as quality and appearance ….OUTSTANDING! I should have purchased one for myself! -Matthew

The leather is very high quality and looks great. The buckles and metal pieces holding it together aren’t as sturdy as we had hoped. When one of the buckles snapped in half, the customer service was extremely responsive and helped us resolve the issue quickly.

My bag is just the right size for my laptop and a few books. I love the clasps - they do not pop open when I overstuff the bag. It is great quality and just what I was looking for.

love the leather I am worried about the material on the inside. Don't think the stitching will hold up!

It's exactly what my husband wanted!
Full Grain Vintage Buffalo Leather Bag
Store owner replied: That's wonderful to hear! I hope he loves it.
The bag is nice but the photo shows more of a brown color, which I wanted, and unfortunately the actual color was more of a reddish brown. Hopefully the redness will fade over time but I wish the product matched the photo.
The actual product isn’t as brown as shown in the picture but is more of a reddish color. Would have preferred the color in the photo.

James Leather is the REAL deal! I am in love with this bag, and so is everyone who sees it (male and female). The bag is beautiful and practical! The 16in bag currently is able to functionally carry: 1. Two standard notebooks 2. One Filled manilla folder 3. A softcover bible, a hardcover bible commentary, as six additional soft cover books--all in the main pouch 4. Phone, keys, wallet, pens, etc, in one external compartment, as well as candies and mints in the second! The hardware is durable and beautiful! James Leather knocked this one out of the park, and I will be a repeat customer for gifts towards loved ones! My next investment will be the 18inch bag!
