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.

This bag has enough room to carry my 13' MacBook Pro, a couple small books and my everyday cables & supplies. And it is small enough that I don't feel like my carrying around a high school back pack. I plan for this to be my last bag!
Great product so far.
Simply, all, that, I need, in a bag. Y'all rock, thanks. Perfect for my new fancy job while keeping my boho flair intact. As a violinmaker, I can fit a full back plate into the bag and enough tools to work on while traveling, or just be Mr. Business type in a suit and still sport it looking professional. Thanks.
I own too many SBL items (according to others, anyway) and all of them get noticed from time-to-time when I'm out and about. I appreciate them all, but my most recent purchase - the Thin Thirteener - is my fav. I use it to carry a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook and an iPad Pro. Both are slick looking machines, and the Thirteener is a solid organic compliment to them. The size is perfect, and it's light with high utility like both my machines (I'm obsessive that way). To the SBL team: your products are all-round excellent, and thanks for the dedication to the highest quality possible in material, design, and manufacturing. And the customer service is exceptional. Like the Thirteener!
Super sturdy, very comfortable to carry. Looks and smells amazing. I love how functional the compartments are!
