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
Well made, functional briefcase. Not too heavy- easy to carry. Highly recommended.
I’ve had this bag for three years. There’s literally nothing I could say about it that would be critical at all. I use it every single day and I plan on doing that for the rest of my working life. My family has been using Saddleback products for at least 5 years from wallets to belts to bags. 5 stars across the board.
I ordered this in black. looks great, especially if youre under 6' tall. Not big and bulky like the others. I would recommend
fantastic bag
In my quest for the right bag I have had several Saddleback bags. Front Pocket Briefcase, large Satchel, Messenger.... The thirteener is just the right size for my daily carry, not tempting me to take too much, and being light enough when the day calls for a longer walk. I've flown with it and it is small enough you barely notice it under the seat in front of you. Great value, and a great bag.
