There are no breakable parts like zippers, magnets, snaps, or buttons. Every stress point is reinforced with rivets and hidden polyester strapping. And it's built with the largest pieces of leather possible. It's lined with pigskin and has a false bottom to hide your passport, spare cash, or other secret things. The two front pockets have pockets behind them too. This leather briefcase fits a 17\" laptop and can be worn in backmade mode.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Functionality of our Leather Briefcase Backpacks \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Most of our leather briefcases convert into backpacks, including this one. Run the adjustable shoulder strap through the o-ring on the back of the briefcase, and clip it to the d-rings on the bottom. Now your hands are free to carry more luggage through the airport. This leather briefcase has a false bottom to hide your passport, spare cash, and other secret things. The d-rings are great for strapping on blankets, jackets, and wet sandals. And even the main strap has a hole at the very tip, just in case you overstuff your bag or want to put an umbrella under the flap. The two front pockets actually have hidden pockets behind them too.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials in the Leather Briefcase Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This leather briefcase is made of full grain leather, which is the strongest there is. And then, we line the leather with pigskin, which is more durable than cow skin. Our thread is some of the best in the world. The strong industrial marine-grade polyester thread doesn't deteriorate like Nylon when the sun touches it. Our custom hardware is 316 Stainless Steel which means our clasps can hold up to a 750 lb. bag of cats. It's the metal of choice for when your life depends on it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eAll of our Bags Use Full-Grain Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  We only use full grain leather. Sure, we pay a higher price to purchase full grain leather to make our bags. And we pay more by using traditional craftsmanship. To us, these are essentials to offering a leather briefcase with a 100 year warranty. Leather is like a roof. First, there is plywood, tar paper, and then shingles. The grain is like shingles. It's the toughest and most water-resistant part of the leather. A lot of companies shave off that grain to get rid of scars or blemishes so they can use more of the hide, but by doing so, they get rid of the toughest part. We don't do that.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eLeather Briefcases Lined with Pigskin \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Did you know pigskin is actually stronger than cowhide? It is, and that's what we line our leather briefcases with. Not only is it stronger, but it is also more flexible and has a nice feel. We could have left it with just thick full grain leather, but we wanted to give you the best of the best. By using both, you get the best for the inside and the outside of this large briefcase.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Hardware in our Leather Briefcase \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The hardware on this backpack briefcase is all 316 Surgical Grade Stainless Steel. That's the good stuff. The kind that doesn't corrode, pit, or rust like other metals. It's the best for when your life depends on it, and it's what we use because your life could depend on this briefcase (ya never know, right?).\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003ePolyester, Great for Strong Thread in Leather Bags, but Not Great for Underwear \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Polyester is awful for underwear or sheets, but it is the best for thread. We found the strongest polyester thread and used it in our leather bags. It's a marine-grade, UV resistent polyester thread that doesn't deteriorate when sun hits it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eInternal Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Two small internal pockets are located in the main compartment, which is great for holding things such as pens, pencils, and other things that you might put in small pockets. The internal compartment is split into two main areas with a large capacity to hold a large laptop or two. So you can fit that huge 17\" laptop in here without a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eExternal Pockets that Mean Business \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  These larger pockets are buckled closed, so you don't have to worry as much about someone coming and opening it up quickly and taking anything. And behind each external pocket, you will find a hidden pocket. This pocket is great for things you might access more often, such as a cell phone or a USB hub, depending on how secure you need it to be and your own packing method.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eHidden Compartment in this Leather Briefcase \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Yes, this briefcase has a hidden compartment that is large enough to fit a passport. It is located on the bottom of the leather bag and can be easily accessed by lifting a strip of leather. You will see it right away. The false bottom is great for hiding things such as money, your passport, or anything else you might not want anyone to find.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eEmergency Cigar Holder \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  When I tell you we thought of everything, we did. In between the front pockets is a pocket that is good for carrying a cigar, a flashlight, pens or pencils, or Epi pens.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eRemovable Shoulder Straps \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Not everyone wants a shoulder strap; they might prefer the hand strap, and for the backpack feature, we made it removable. The durable shoulder strap is also made of full grain leather, just like our leather bags, and has the same quality stainless steel hardware. It is super strong, so no matter what you carry, it can handle the weight more than any other leather backpack or bag out there.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eGreat for Traveling \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  It is also functional as a great carry-on for short trips or long trips. You can fit your large laptop and maybe even a change of clothes and other gear. For example, you might not want to put your suit jacket inside, but an extra t-shirt and shorts to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59967591809310,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-BK-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59967591842078,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-CH-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59967591874846,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-DCB-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59967591907614,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-TO-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/dark-brown-front-pocket-briefcase-on-white-baseball-side__17153.jpg?v=1790349901"},{"product_id":"flight-bag-leather-briefcase","title":"Flight Bag Leather Briefcase","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Leather Briefcase for Pilots and More!-Newly redesigned\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis bag was designed for pilots, like the one who flew our family to a region of Somalia infested with \u003ca href=\"#terrorist-story\"\u003eAl Shabaab terrorists. \u003c\/a\u003eThese flight bags are over-engineered with no breakable parts like magnets, zippers, snaps, buttons, etc. We only use the strongest materials we can find. The leather is thick full-grain leather and incredibly tough, while the lining is made of pigskin, which is even stronger. The thread is industrial, marine grade, and UV resistant, ensuring it will hold up against wear and tear. The hardware is a custom stainless steel, which is complete overkill — it's like killing a fly with a shotgun. This mid-1800s English style Gladstone Bag closure is just plain cool on this leather briefcase. It opens wide and stays open until you say otherwise (pilots love this feature to put next to their seats). The front pockets are built and then sewn on, so there are hidden pockets behind the pockets. There's a magazine pocket in the back and a floppy laptop pocket inside the leather briefcase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e---\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeather in Our Pilot Bags\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe leather we use is the strongest we can find (full grain boot leather, but thicker). The top layer of a leather hide has all the grain. The grain is the hide's toughest, most protective, and longest-lasting part. The grain is like the shingles on a roof the best part. Most companies shave off the top layer (grain) of the hide to get rid of scars so they can use almost every inch of the hide in production and save money. But in doing so, it's like they're shaving the shingles off your roof.

From there, we took a 2-hour small boat ride to an island off the Northern Coast of Kenya, next to Somalia, where a Kenyan friend of ours told us it was a super cool place for holiday. We didn't know about all of the Al-Shabaab terrorist activity and kidnappings in the area, or we probably wouldn't have chosen it for our family vacation, but ignorance is bliss. The last night there was a little freaky. Okay, a lot of freaky hanging out and discussing theology with the witchcraft-practicing angel prophet of Islam, but that's for another place and time (or bag description).So we finally get to our destination, Mike's Camp, run and owned by a British Kenyan named Mike. A charming chap who had made a barefoot luxury Gilligan's Island resort built almost entirely from woven reeds. The walls and floors were 100% woven, and the ceilings were thatched. All of it was supported by branches and sticks.It was SUPER COOL. Unbelievable. And that's why billionaires fly in to stay there all the time. Of course, since we're not billionaires, we flew into Lamu and then took the little skiff to the island, but some people fly in at low tide, land on the beach, and walk up the sand dunes to the camp. It's where you completely unplug. No laptop bags are allowed. To read about the Angel prophet of Islam and our walk through the terrorists, go to the Slim Leather Briefcase page.Small plane bush pilots that land on the beach or take people to Lamu have a smaller flight bag briefcase next to their seats.

An iPad, iPhone, tablet or notebook, business cards, passport, boarding pass, etc. This slim leather laptop bag is made with no breakable parts and reinforced with extra stitching, rivets, or hidden polyester strips that don't stretch. Only three large pieces of leather make up the body of the laptop bag to minimize the number of stitches in the bag. Each time a sewing needle pokes through the leather, it actually starts a tear. So the fewer holes, the better. And we only allow five stitch holes per inch for strength.

So when companies sand or split off the top part of the hide to get rid of scars and blemishes they don't have to cut around them and throw that leather in the trash. That is the equivalent of taking the shingles off of the roof. But they save a lot of money making a leather briefcase.

The grain of leather is like a roof's shingles. If you take the top part of the leather off (the grain) to get rid of the scars and blemishes, then you're taking the shingles off of the roof. And we all know how that goes. The custom hardware is made of 316 Stainless Steel. If you're a metallurgist, then I'm sure you just gasped. It's the kind of metal they use for when your life depends on it. I know it's a small detail, but we're really proud of it. The thread used is really strong UV resistant industrial Polyester thread. It's more expensive, by far, but doesn't deteriorate when the sun hits it like Nylon does. You won't find another leather tote bag like it. This is a good Leather Purse.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFunctionality \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Not everybody appreciates a leather tote bag with built-in handles until they start using them.

And this leather backpack with pockets is no exception. It was purposefully designed with no breakable parts like zippers, snaps, or velcro. And any stress spot is reinforced with Polyester straps hidden beneath the leather and riveted. The body of this leather backpack is built with just two big pieces of leather, which means there aren't many seams. The fewer the seams, the stronger the backpack because backpacks come apart at the seams before anywhere else. And then we only sew 5 stitches per inch, so there are as few holes as possible. Quality can be measured in Seam Feet (how few feet of seams a bag has. We made that term up).\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials used to create this Leather Backpack with Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This backpack is made out of strong materials. The full grain leather is very tough and more resistant to water. The lining is made from pigskin, which is even stronger than cowhide. The hardware is made from 316 Stainless Steel, which is very strong and will not rust. The thread used to sew the backpack together is Polyester, which does not deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFull Grain Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e The leather of this backpack is the strongest and most water-resistant we can find (full grain), and then we line it with pigskin, which is stronger than the cow skin. It's rare for a low-quality company to use full grain to make a leather backpack because it's so expensive. When I say \"Full Grain Leather\" I mean that it still has all of the tough, tightly woven fibers on the top of the hide.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Genuine Leather Backpack is Missing the Strength \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Most companies shave off the scars and blemishes from the top of the hide (watch how they shave it here at minute 6:30) and shave off the strongest and best part of the hide (the grain) while doing it. They shave it down to genuine leather. They do it, so they don't have to cut around the marks and throw those pieces into the trash as we do. We throw away 25% of the hide. They don't throw hardly anything away. But since it still has leather, they can call it a genuine leather backpack. It will not last nearly as long and is missing the beauty. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Vegan Leather Backpack is Plastic Garbage \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Vegan leather is ridiculous. It doesn't even make sense. It's usually polyurethane or PVC, which is a plastic. Do you want to wear a plastic backpack? No? We don't want you to either. You and I both know that will not last longer than your carebear backpack as a kid.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eSeriously Strong Hardware in this Leather Backpack with Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e I know using 316 Stainless Steel custom hardware is kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but we did it anyways. Check that one off the list of potential problems. Our large pieces of hardware on our backpacks are rated strong enough to hold a 750 lb. bag of cats before it gives. Seriously, I hope you google it to understand more. If your life is going to depend on any metal, let it depend on 316 Stainless Steel.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Best Thread to Hold it all Together \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We sew it all together with thick and strong Polyester thread. It's industrial strength and doesn't deteriorate with exposure to the Sun's UV rays like Nylon thread does. This Leather Backpack is very strong from the nature of the materials we use. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFrom a Brown Leather Backpack, to a Black Leather Backpack, you have options \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We know not everyone has the same style. So this leather backpack with pockets comes in four different colors. The light tan color (called Tobacco) develops a beautiful patina over time. There's also Dark Coffee Brown, Chestnut (reddish brown), and Black. So find the style that will suit you.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eVery Spacious Main Compartment \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e The interior main compartment has enough space for your 17\" laptop, a charger, other electronic gear, some personal items, your passport, a book, or possibly a few books. You could probably even fit a monkey in there if you had to. But we wouldn't recommend that. This is a very durable leather bag with plenty of room.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Shoulder Straps \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We want this leather backpack to be easy to carry on and off your back.

Our full grain (the toughest there is) leather desk pad is really just a gigantic air freshener for the office disguised as an unassuming desk blotter. I gave my nephew a leather desk set for his first big boy job out of college and he said he quickly earned the respect of the owners because they came in to talk and ask him about his desk blotter and other leather desk accessories I gave him.

The grain is the toughest and most water-resistant part. Most companies shave off the top layer of the hide to get rid of any of the character of the cowhide like scars or tiny bug bites, but in reality, they are shaving off the hardest and toughest part of the hide.

It is still good leather, but not as good as it used to be. Genuine or Split Leather is when all of the grain is shaved or split off. The desk pad will look bad and fall apart way sooner than a full grain leather desk pad. Finding just the right hide to cut such a large piece of leather takes a long time with not too many scars and blemishes. And then we end up with a lot of extra scrap from around it.

This makes it the strongest, most beautiful, and most durable leather. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive, so makers of cheap leather cases don't want you to be educated. All that is removed in full grain is the hair of the cow. The natural markings (brands, scars, bug bites, etc.) are all still in the hide and are cut away to make the highest quality leather pen case.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eTop Grain Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e A top grain leather bag is the second highest quality of leather and is made from the top layer of the hide that has had the finest part shaved off, the most rugged outer layer. This is done, so the manufacturer doesn't have to throw out any of the leather. Of course, it makes them a little more profit, but we are raising the bar on quality.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eGenuine Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e You get this from the department store on a black Friday sale. Retailers should remove the term genuine leather from everything, but they won't, so I will educate you. It just means leather of some type is in the item. It could be that awful bonded leather, just leather pieces and leather dust glued together to make PVC or PU leather. It is like the difference between particle board and solid wood, but worse. It is not even in the same ballpark as full grain or top grain leather. I hope this has helped educate you a little better about full-grain leather and cheap alternatives like PU and PVC leather.

This makes it fit nicely into overhead compartments on planes.

The Gladstone closure eliminates breakable parts like zippers, magnets, snaps, and buttons from being used. Over time leather stretches, but we reinforce all stress points with rivets and hidden polyester strapping to prevent this. The two front pockets also utilize the Gladstone closure, making them unlike any travel duffle bag we have ever seen. They can hold an excessive amount of things. Like all your mini travel size personal care bottles, all your charging cables, passports, and other important documents, or even socks and undergarments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe only use the highest grade and strongest leather on this travel duffle bag, called full-grain leather. What is full grain leather, you ask? Well, the easiest way to explain it is that it doesn't have any top layers shaved off of it. A great analogy I like to use is comparing the top grain of leather to the shingles on a house. The top grain (shingles) is the toughest and most protective part on the cowhide (roof). We don't shave any layers off of our leather; we like the strength and character it offers. The leather we use is mineral tanned with Chromium (Cr). Chrome tanned leather is the most corrosive resistant leather you can get, which means your leather Front Door Duffle bag is corrosion resistant as well. Our custom 316 stainless steel hardware can be used if your life depends on it. It'd be what you would want, as a matter of fact. If you google it, you'll be incredibly impressed, but metallurgists give me some pretty crazy looks when I tell them it's what I use on our bags. The inside, opposite the two front pockets, has a big open pocket made from pigskin, which also lines the entire interior. Pig skin is even stronger than the full-grain leather we use. We sew it all together at only 5 stitches per inch using incredibly strong polyester thread. We do this so that there is more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. And our thread will not deteriorate like nylon thread when the sun hits it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFunctionality\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are so many cool features on this leather duffle bag. First and foremost, the mid-18th century Gladstone Bag closure we used on the main compartment and the two front pockets is built for a lifetime of use. This came from a time when zippers weren't a thing yet, and they needed to keep the leather bag closed for travel. When opened, it stays open, and it's really wide, so it's easy to dig around when you're trying to find that surprise gift you brought to give your significant other. I put holes all the way out to the tip of the three straps that secure the closures. This way, you can cram-pack every crevasse and still be able to strap it securely closed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59968454263070,"sku":"01-60-0008-CH","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee","offer_id":59968454295838,"sku":"01-60-0008-DCB","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59968454328606,"sku":"01-60-0008-TO","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/DSC_6356__53919.jpg?v=1790393768"},{"product_id":"20-baby-beast-duffle-bag","title":"20\" Baby Beast Duffle Bag","description":"\u003ch2\u003eJust 3 Pieces of Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Made with just three big pieces of full-grain leather, the Three-Strap Leather Duffle bag is designed to be simple and tough.

Most companies don't build stuff this way because it's really expensive to use such large pieces of leather (it makes a lot of scraps). That's why other bags can be cheaper; they're low quality. And we sew at only 5 stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. It is reinforced at stress points with rivets and hidden polyester straps to ensure that the leather straps and handles never ever stretch, even after 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Cows are waterproof, right? It's because the top part of their hide has tightly woven together fibers. So the skin still has all of the grain (Full Grain Leather). No scars have been shaved or sanded off to leave only a little bit of the grain there (Top Grain Leather). Therefore, it's the strongest cow leather there is, and that's what we use. And we use thick full-grain. It's then lined with pigskin, which is tougher than the cowskin. Our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware is amazing (please, please google it). It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it. The thread we use is the toughest I could find - it's UV-stable polyester stuff more commonly found on ship sails and other marine applications where sustained extreme weather is a given. No other leather duffle bag will last as long as this one.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eDetachable Shoulder Strap \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Yes, there is a detachable shoulder strap. We understand you might not want the shoulder strap every time you use this bag. You might want to load it down heavily and use the leather duffle bag to do curls and build up your biceps. Or you might need the strap to strap down that big buck you just bagged.

If we weren’t there, we were cliff jumping into or innertubing down one of the many frigid snow melt rivers almost every weekend. One of the things that I always thought was super cool were the dry bags. I thought they were such an innovative idea. If you’re not familiar with a dry bag, you put your camera, wallet and other water sensitive stuff in there, roll the top down and then seal the opening, and the bag keeps everything dry while you’re floating down the river. Even if your raft flips over, everything inside stays dry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSo, once I started designing bags, I had a huge desire to create something with a watertight dry bag type rolling closure. Then I spent quite a bit of time in the Sahara of North Africa where everyone’s bags fold or rolled over to keep the blowing sand and dust out. With the Deschutes and the Sahara as inspirations, I came up with this leather duffle bag and called it the Waterbag, which we trademarked. If water can’t easily get out, then it can’t easily get in either.

You’ll see it in our leather museum if you come to visit our headquarters made out of 1 million pounds of leather scrap bales.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAfter a few days of wandering, Cross and I left the ladies in Kyoto and went on to the main leather town of Japan, where so much of Japan’s leather had been tanned for thousands of years. I had heard there was something special about the water there. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe walked into the tannery I suspected might make the Shironameshi leather and took a tour. It was so interesting to see their different machinery and methods of tanning the hides, unlike anything I had seen in any of the dozens of tanneries I had visited around the world. But when I asked them if they knew anything about the Shironameshi leather, they laughed and told me it was made up and didn’t exist, but I believed them about as far as I could throw them. I actually think they didn’t want me to find it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSo, we got in a taxi and tried to explain to the lady through Google Translate about this most elusive leather and she started making some calls. We stopped at a Samurai leather workshop but nobody answered the door. Then we stopped at a horse hide tannery and they pointed us up the road to a building along the river with no signs to be found. Our taxi driver got out and started knocking on some old metal doors until someone finally opened up. She explained to them what we were looking for and I saw that person make a call. About 10 minutes later, a man and his wife pulled up in a car and parked in front of us. We all got out and greeted eachother with bows and then walked in through an industrial looking door into a dark building. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe talked for a bit through Google Translate and then he disappeared to another room. When he came back, he had a cream colored whole hide over his shoulder and laid it out on a table in front of me. And there it was. The hardest to find and most special leather on Earth and I was rubbing my hands on it. The maker of the Shironameshi leather went on to explain that 25 years earlier, he had been reading some thousand year old writings about the river that runs through town and in there they talked about how they tanned leather in that river with just salt. No tannins, no brain matter, no chromium or anything else. Just salt. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhat?!!! Just salt and water? Impossible. Witchcraft? He went on telling the story of how he experimented for years and years of through much trial and error, he finally perfected it. And there it was, the purest and most rare leather on the planet.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe went into his office and sat across from eachother while his wife made her husband, Cross, myself and the taxi driver a cup of wonderful tea as we talked back and forth through my phone. We laughed and talked and laughed some more and then he said, “This leather is from Japan and has only ever been for the Japanese people and I won’t sell it to you or anybody who is not Japanese. I’m sorry, but you cannot have my leather”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt that moment, I heard a record screech to a halt in my head as all of my dreams of making a few super special bags out of this most amazing leather in the world, were seemingly dashed to pieces on the rocks of disappointment. I couldn’t believe that he just said that. But then I thought, “Hmmm… it’s obvious that he just needs to understand who we are and what we are about first and then maybe he’ll change his mind. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSo I smiled and said to him, “Let me tell you a little bit about who we are and what we do. We have a leather company and we love the people who work for us. We offer counseling for our employees and also have marriage and parenting classes after work at the factory because we feel like it is something that our creator wants us to do. God doesn’t hug people, but he uses us to hug people.” I went on to share about what Jesus did for us and how that great love motivates us to love others. I told him that we make and sell beautiful leather things too. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHe put his head down for a minute in silence and then looked over to his wife and said something quickly in Japanese. He then turned back to me and spoke into my phone and then smiled and stuck out his hand to shake. As we were shaking hands, the voice on the phone said that we were now friends and he would allow me to use his leather. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThere’s a lot more to the story from there and even more to come, but that’s for another time. For now, you should just be happy that I’m relaunching the 24” leather duffle bag a.k.a. The Waterbag. It’s pretty rare too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":60088315937054,"sku":"01-60-0009-LG-BK","price":739.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":60088315969822,"sku":"01-60-0009-LG-CH","price":739.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":60088316002590,"sku":"01-60-0009-LG-DCB","price":739.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":60088316035358,"sku":"01-60-0009-LG-TO","price":739.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/full-grain-leather-large-duffle-waterbag-tan-travel-bag-front__08197.jpg?v=1790765943"}],"url":"https:\/\/saddlebackleather.mom\/collections\/corporate-products-best-selling-corporate-gifts.oembed?page=2","provider":"Saddleback Leather Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
