There are plenty of variables that go into making a premium leather bag purchase. These three will make your shopping experience a little more informed and easier! 

Style

When looking at the right bag for you, you must first consider the style of the pack. When it comes to bags, there seems to be an almost immeasurable amount of options you can choose! Make your choice based on what matches the pace of your life. If you are an avid gym-goer and someone who likes to fit in a workout session sometime during your workday, then your best bet may be a duffle bag to carry all of your workout equipment. On the flip side, if you're constantly in between meetings that always seem to have you zipping around from one side of the city to another, you may consider a satchel that helps you organize your laptop, iPad, and relevant documents. 

Satchels happen to be incredibly durable bags and are increasingly becoming the style of choice for people from many different walks of life. At ColsenKeane, we overengineer our leather satchels to give you both versatility and durability meant to last a lifetime! We do this by utilizing some of the world's highest quality full-grain leather and more substantial cowhide cuts in our handcrafted process.

Functionality

Form meets function is an extreme understatement! We're sure you've seen celebrities on social media showing off their incredibly expensive but also grossly useless bags. If you are going to invest in a leather bag, then you might as well make it count! Gone are the days in which your sweaty gym bag also doubled as your day trip bag. If you want to stand out from the crowd, consider buying a leather bag that meets your exact specifications! Ditch the gym bag and check out our traveler bag! While you're at it, make sure you play around with our different customization options!

Durability

Buy something that is built to last. Period. Your bag will be one that you will probably get used daily. It has to stand up to the rigors of a commute, being unceremoniously shoved into a storage unit at the gym, and braving any weather like it works for the United States Postal Service. How many times have you reveled over the purchase of a high fashion bag only to have the zipper get stuck within seven days of using it? What about when the handle of your backpack starts to succumb to wear & tear and causes you to question the number of days you have left until it becomes a permanent slingback? When purchasing a leather bag that delivers on durability, then look for something that is Full-Grain leather and made with 100% cowhide. Also, if the company you purchase the pack from offers a lifetime guarantee, that will be a big plus!
