FAQs
Are Von Baer work bags suitable for formal corporate environments?
Yes. Von Baer work bags are designed with timeless, professional silhouettes that suit formal offices, client meetings, and executive settings. Our briefcases and laptop bags avoid trend-led shapes and overt branding, ensuring they remain appropriate across industries and career stages.
What type of leather do you use?
We use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, produced in Tuscany since 1961. This is the highest quality leather available, selected for its durability, natural character, and ability to age beautifully. Each Von Baer product includes certified documentation confirming the leather’s origin.
Will the leather show wear over time?
Yes - and intentionally so. Full-grain vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina with use, enhancing its depth and character rather than deteriorating. This aging process is a hallmark of genuine luxury leather and a sign of long-term quality.
Are your bags designed for daily use?
Absolutely. Von Baer bags are engineered for everyday professional use, with reinforced stitching, solid brass hardware, protective metal feet, and durable linings. They’re built to withstand commuting, travel, and long working days without compromising structure or appearance.
Do Von Baer bags fit modern laptops securely?
Yes. Our work bags feature padded laptop compartments designed to fit common sizes, including 14", 15.6", 16" MacBook Pro, and even 17" laptops in select models. Each product page clearly outlines device compatibility to help you choose confidently.
Are Von Baer bags heavy?
Despite their robust construction, Von Baer bags are carefully balanced to remain comfortable for daily carry. Weight is distributed through reinforced handles, padded shoulder straps, and ergonomic designs - particularly in our backpacks and travel bags.
Is branding kept minimal?
Yes. Von Baer embraces quiet luxury. Branding is subtle and discreet, allowing the quality of the leather, craftsmanship, and design to speak for itself - preferred by professionals who value refinement over logos.
Do you offer repairs or aftercare?
Every Von Baer product is backed by a 5-year warranty, and our designs are made with repairability in mind. We also offer premium leather care products to help maintain and protect your bag over time.
Why don’t you run discounts or sales?
Von Baer sells directly to customers, avoiding middlemen and excessive markups. This allows us to offer consistent, honest pricing year-round, reflecting the true value of the materials and craftsmanship - without inflated "sale" prices.
Can I personalise my bag?
Yes. Most Von Baer work bags can be personalised with blind-embossed initials (up to four characters), adding a discreet, personal touch without compromising the design.
How Is Von Baer Leather Different?
Not all leather is the same.
Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.
Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:
- Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
- Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
- Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
- Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
- The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
- Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
- Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.
That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.
It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.
It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).
