Luxury Gifts for Her

Von Baer Gifts for Her. Full-Grain Leather Across Every Piece.

Von Baer uses full-grain leather from A-grade hides in every product in this range, from the smallest card holder to the largest travel bag.

• Full-grain leather across every piece: full-grain is the uppermost layer of the hide with the natural grain preserved in full. Cheaper grades (bonded, "genuine leather") rely on surface coatings over weaker material, and those coatings crack and peel. Our leather keeps its refined look through years of daily use.
• A-grade hides, drum-dyed all the way through: we select A-grade hides only from Bos Taurus cattle, reject any with excessive scarring, and cut them from the bend, the back and butt of the hide where the fibers are densest. We drum-dye the leather, so the color runs all the way through it: if it's ever scuffed, the leather underneath is the same shade, not the pale mark surface-dyed leather shows.
• Complimentary personalization: almost every piece can carry her initials (on most bags, they go on the included leather tag), embossed by hand at no additional charge before it ships. Tick the personalization box on the product page and add the initials there.
• Gift-wrapped and ready to give: purses, card holders, passport holders and other smaller pieces arrive wrapped in tissue in our gift box and gift bag, and larger bags come in a soft cotton dust bag.
• One price, no discount cycles: Von Baer never does discounts, coupons, or Black Friday sales. So the gift she receives today won't turn up in a sale next month.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty, duties and taxes included: we stand behind every piece for five years against defects in materials or workmanship, because each one is made to be carried for decades. Shipping is by express courier, complimentary over $150, and duties and taxes are included in the displayed price.

Von Baer Luxury Gifts. Across Work, Travel and Everyday Use.

The range goes from small leather goods that arrive gift-boxed to full-size travel bags made for years of use.

• An everyday shoulder bag she reaches for first: the Isabella Shoulder Bag fits a wallet, phone and small notebook, with a leather strap that adjusts for shoulder or crossbody carry. Remove the strap and she carries it as a purse. She takes one bag from morning through coffee through dinner without switching. It measures 21 x 13 x 6 cm (8.27 x 5.12 x 2.36 in) and weighs approx. 0.4 kg (0.88 lbs).
• A tote that fits her whole work day: the Elegance Leather Tote Bag holds a 16-inch laptop in a padded sleeve, with organizational pockets so nothing rattles loose in the main compartment. When the laptop, notebook and the rest of the day's essentials all need to leave the house at once, the Elegance fits them. For lighter days without a laptop, the Estelle Small Leather Tote Bag is a smaller crossbody tote. The Elegance measures 45 x 29 x 13 cm (17.72 x 11.42 x 5.12 in) and weighs approx. 1 kg (2.2 lbs).
• A laptop bag styled like a handbag: the Elegant Women's Laptop Briefcase has a padded 14-inch laptop sleeve concealed inside a handbag silhouette, so she steps into a meeting looking put together rather than carrying an obvious computer bag. A luggage strap secures it to a suitcase handle for travel days. The City Women's Laptop Bag fits a 16-inch MacBook Pro. For the slimmest of the laptop bags, the Exquisite Women's Laptop Bag is just 7.5 cm (3 in) deep. Elegant: 39 x 29.5 x 8.5 cm (15.4 x 11.6 x 3.3 in), 1.16 kg (2.6 lb).
• A leather backpack for hands-free commuting: if she cycles or walks to work and needs both hands free, but the bag still has to look presentable at the desk, the Liberty Women's Leather Backpack is made for exactly that. Adjustable shoulder straps shift the weight to her back for the commute. She picks it up by the top handle at the desk. It fits a 14-inch laptop in a padded sleeve and is carry-on compliant. 33 x 40 x 12 cm (12.99 x 15.75 x 4.72 in), 1.4 kg (3.09 lbs).
• A wallet she opens every day: the Allure Leather Purse fits up to 16 cards, cash and a phone in one piece, with RFID blocking (a shielding layer inside the leather that blocks contactless readers from scanning her cards), gold-embossed initials and a gift box. She pulls it straight out of a tote and it does the job of a wallet and a clutch at once. For essentials only, the Minimalist Leather Card Holder weighs 27 g. For more card capacity, the Essence Leather Card Case has 8 slots with a zipped compartment for coins and folded notes. For travel, the Origin Portmonnaie Leather Purse has a detachable card holder and space for a passport. Allure: 19.2 x 9.8 x 3 cm (7.6 x 3.9 x 1.2 in), 200 g (7.1 oz).
• A gift for the frequent traveler: the Harrington Leather Passport Wallet holds a passport, 4 cards and cash in a single item she can hand over at the desk without digging through a bag. RFID blocking shields her cards in a crowded terminal. For a passport holder without card and bill slots, consider the Atlas Leather Passport Holder or the Avia Leather Passport Holder (six colors). To tag a suitcase, add the Signature Full-Grain Leather Luggage Tag. For toiletries, choose the Superior Women's Leather Toiletry Bag. Harrington: 15.2 x 9.7 x 2 cm (6 x 3.8 x 0.8 in), 115 g (4.1 oz).
• A leather travel bag for weekend trips: the Weekender Women's Leather Weekend Bag is a carry-on-sized holdall that fits a weekend of clothes plus a 16-inch laptop, so she boards without checking luggage. She arrives with something that looks as good as what she packed in it. The Voyager Leather Carry-on Bag with Wheels rolls on four 360-degree casters with a telescoping handle. For a dress or jacket to keep crease-free, the Grand Women's Leather Garment Bag has a dedicated garment compartment with a removable hanger. The 10X Women's Leather Laptop Travel Bag converts between backpack, carry-on and messenger and expands from 21 to 28 liters. The Weekender measures 55 x 30 x 23.5 cm (21.65 x 11.81 x 9.25 in) excluding the handles and weighs 2.2 kg (4.9 lb).
• A leather glasses case she'll keep in her bag: sunglasses tossed loose into a handbag come out scratched. The Deluxe Leather Glasses Case has a soft microfiber lining that prevents exactly that, with a secure snap closure that stays shut while the case moves around. Slim enough at 16 x 5 x 4 cm (6.3 x 1.97 x 1.57 in) to keep in her purse. It weighs approx. 100 g (3.5 oz) and arrives in a gift box and bag.
