Our hope is that you’ll be proud of your bag because of the compliments you get and how long it lasts. But our deeper hope is that you join our community of those nurturing the vulnerable and loving the unloved. We do more than just quality leather bags; we do quality in all areas of our business.
Our purpose is not to change the world by loving orphans, single moms and ex-prisoners one at a time. It’s to work with a Love 41 community/family of loving and nurturing people to do it. If you want to but you’re not sure how, then join us on Facebook or sign up for our newsletter to learn more. We’ll help you get plugged in.

We only use the toughest leather we can get (thick full-grain leather), the highest grade of hide you can buy, to make all of our leather laptop bags. The grain is the toughest and most water-resistant part of the hide. So when companies sand or split off the top part of the hide to get rid of scars and blemishes so they can use up more of the hide, they're getting rid of the toughest part.
Yes, full-grain leather is the quarterback getting all of the attention. But the other materials we use is what the over-engineering thing is all about. We line our leather briefcases with pigskin, which is more durable than the full-grain leather. The hardware is the ridiculous 316 stainless steel (rated to hold up to 750 lbs). We sew everything together with a UV-resistant marine-grade polyester thread (it's the same exact threat that's used to sew together ship sails and parachutes... you know, things your life depends on).
This thin leather laptop bag is our smallest leather briefcase and is wide enough to fit any 14" MacBook Pro or laptop. The 2019 15" Macbook Pro fits in the main compartment but not inside the soft laptop sleeve pocket. Two interior flat front pockets to hold a charger, pens, cables, and papers. There aren't a lot of features and functionality, but that's on purpose. It's just a simple briefcase that is the perfect size for your smaller laptops.
This leather briefcase is really designed for the minimalist. It's a small, compact leather bag but still large enough for your essentials. Just purposeful organization for your laptop, notebook, pens, and daily carry — no gimmicks or clutter, just intentional design that makes it easy to stay light and efficient. Slim enough to slide under an airline seat but strong enough to survive years of commutes.

How to Knock Off a Saddleback Leather Co. Briefcase
Love the Thirteener briefcase for my wife. She had to have one after seeing my Classic Briefcase. Awesome product and quality.
Love everything about this bag. Gave it to my husband for Christmas and he is so happy with it.
This bag exceeded every expectation I had. I’ve seen several Saddleback products in person before hand and had no question that I was purchasing a quality product. The bag was delivered quickly even with me placing the order late before Christmas. Upon opening the box you get hit with the amazing smell of the leather. The bag immediately made me say WOW when I saw it! It’s just simply Beautiful! Great construction and easily holds my MacBook Air and several folders. This was ultimately a gift for my girlfriend, and her reaction was identical to my own when she opened her gift. This is the perfect briefcase for her to take to all of her important meetings. The chestnut color is fantastic, and makes this a great unisex bag that will go with most any outfit. Great product Saddleback! I will definitely be purchasing more products from y’all in the future!
Exactly what I was hoping it would be! Well made. Just the right size. And I love the smell of the leather.
From the moment you open the box and the smell of the leather hits you, you know you are in for a treat. Beautifully made and exactly what I was looking for as a present for my wife for Christmas. I appreciated the note enclosed regarding the environmentally friendly packaging as well. This is a bag that will age well and develop character over time. Thank you!
