SaddleBack Leather premium leather bags that are made to last a lifetime. They are an investment piece, but make a special and lasting men’s gift! They are the only bag he’ll ever need.
On an impulse, I checked out The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up audiobook from our local library. Even though listening to the book was tedious and often mind numbing, it worked. I sorted through every inch of our house looking for items to discard or give away.
We ended up clearing almost 15 bags of clothes, kitchen supplies, expired beauty products, and even food from our home. It was more intense than I could have imagined but incredibly satisfying.
Now that our closets, shelves and drawers are decompressed, it’s easier to be thoughtful about purchases we make. My goal is to focus on quality over quantity.
I kept that goal in mind when looking for a birthday gift for Pat’s 30th (!) birthday. He got a new job this year, so a leather bag for work seemed like the perfect investment piece for him.
My search lead me to Saddleback Leather.
Saddleback Leather Men’s Bags
Saddleback Leather’s bags are incredibly burly. I’ve never really held anything like it even when visiting stores that specialize in leather products. The sides are so sturdy – real cowhide leather. The stitching is tight and the hardware is solid.
Investing in a briefcase for Pat wasn’t an easy decision. The thing that really pushed me toward getting the bag was the reviews on Saddleback Leather’s website. Literally hundreds of five-star reviews and less than 10 under four star reviews.
People talk about how, like me, the price tag of the bag initially made them hesitate. They talk about the bag arriving and as soon as they held it in their hands they knew it was worth every penny. They talk about people stopping them on the street to admire the bag. It gave me the reassurance I needed to take the plunge!
Saddleback Leather products have a 100-year warranty. They are truly meant to last the test of time. It was a gift I feel good about and something I look forward to watching Pat use for years to come. It was truly worth the investment
If you’re shopping for the lady in your life, Saddleback also has a line of women’s bags and accessories.
If you have a few hours for a trip down the rabbit hole, Saddleback Leather’s founder, Dave, is quite the character. You can see evidence of this in the company’s series of videos where they cover topics like “How to Knock Off a Saddleback Briefcase” and “Artistic Depiction of Pigskin Lining”.
