PERSONALIZATION

We offer product personalization—embossing and engraving—for most of our leather accessories. Add initials, names, dates, logos, phrases, or personal messages to create a truly thoughtful and one of a kind gift of sentimental value that can be cherished for years to come.

You’ll find personalization options on the product page of your chosen item. Select embossing or laser engraving before checkout, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Once your order is placed, we'll promptly send an email featuring a visual representation of the engraving for your selected product, ensuring it meets your expectations before the personalization process begins.

Care & Packaging

We recommend treating your leather accessory once a month with our Premium Leather Cream. First, remove any dirt or dust from the leather with a cloth. Then apply a thin and even layer of the cream on dry and clean leather with a cotton cloth in circular movements. Allow to dry and then polish.

When ordering from us, you’ll receive everything ready to be gifted. Our bags come with a handmade cotton dust bag. Please use it when storing the bag to help the leather remain in good condition and develop a rich patina over time.Additionally, all smaller items such as wallets and belts will arrive beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, a gift box, and a gift bag.

MADE IN ITALY

It is not without reason that Italy is known as the land of true artisans. All our products are made in Florence and Northern Italy in family-owned studios, where the tradition of leather craftsmanship has been passed down generations. Believing that our customers deserve the best and showing our appreciation for this masterful heritage craft, we are ready to pay honest production prices for the high-quality work being put into each product.

DISTINGUISHED CUOIO SUPERIORE LEATHER

This product is crafted using prime Cuoio Superiore full-grain leather embodying a legacy of excellence in Italian craftsmanship. This superior-grade, vegetable-tanned leather is selected with utmost care, ensuring a product that matures beautifully over time. Committed to the importance of sustainability and quality, every aspect of this item reflects its prestigious origin and superior craftsmanship.

SOLID BRASS HARDWARE

Crafted with precision, this product is equipped with solid brass hardware from the distinguished workshops of Lombardy, a testament to Northern Italy's legacy of quality craftsmanship. This not only ensures a superior feel and aesthetic but also guarantees enduring functionality and timeless style. Our commitment to using the finest materials is a testament to our dedication to quality — every detail counts in crafting a piece that retains its elegance and appeal for years to come.

FINE ITALIAN COTTON LINING

We ensure that all our products are beautiful inside and out. We use natural thick and robust Italian cotton canvas lining. Unlike synthetic materials, it is sustainable and pleasant to touch. Moreover, the cotton lining is long-lasting thanks to the well-known Italian grasp of impeccable textile manufacturing. Due to this, an ordinary fabric like cotton is turned into something that will serve well to those who expect the highest quality.

SUSTAINABILITY

When choosing Von Baer products, you can be sure that you’re not only getting something stylish and high quality but are also supporting a sustainable business and traditional craftsmanship. We do our business in a way that supports local communities and does not harm the planet.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Where does the engraving go?

    When it comes to bags, we can engrave anywhere you want. After you make an order, we will send you the visualizations for your confirmation before we actually start engraving.
    One of the most popular places, where our customers prefer to engrave, is on the back of the bag, on the opposite side of where VB logo is, just under the zipper. Some customers prefer to have their engraving on the front side, in the bottom left or right corner.

  • What cream do you recommend to protect the leather? I want it to last long.

    Our Premium Leather Cream is good to use. You can add it easily to your shopping cart when purchasing the bag (above the Add to Cart button).

  • Is the shoulder strap attached to this bag comfortable? I don't want my shoulder to ache while carrying it.

    The shoulder strap is padded to give extra comfort when carrying the bag.

  • Is the strap on this briefcase suitable for carrying it as a messenger bag?

    Yes, the strap ensures that the bag can be carried like a messenger bag (over the shoulder).

  • Is this a unisex briefcase? Can I buy it for a lady?

    It is more suitable for men. We'd recommend models like Elegance and Exquisite for women.

  • Can this briefcase hold a 15'' Macbook Pro along with its charger and an iPad?

    Yes, it can hold a 15'' Macbook Pro along with its charger and an iPad.

  • is it possible to order this bag with a leather interior instead of cotton canvas?

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. One of the many reasons for using high-grade cotton canvas is that using the backside of the leather (suede) for the interior would not meet our aesthetic standard, while using a leather interior would significantly increase the bag's weight.

  • how long before delivery

    Hello! Delivery takes 2-4 business days.

  • Hi there This is a beautiful briefcase - thank you! Just wondering about the lock: is a key required to open it each time, or can you leave it unlocked but still closable? Many thanks Katherine

    Hello,

    Thank you for a great question! A key is not required unless the lock was locked with it.

    Best regards,
    Von Baer Team
