Gift for son
"The bag is beautiful. ……stunning, really. It is a Christmas gift, so it has not been used. But, I suspect my son will love it!"
Our leather care products are made with three simple, all-natural ingredients: seed oils, beeswax and tallow. While other brands use silicone or water-based formulations, our leather care ingredients have been used for centuries in different ways, from tanning to conditioning leather, for optimal care and preservation.
Pretreat with our spot cleaner, restore with our conditioner and protect with our rain coat.
Many of our products can be customized by request. Depending on the product, options include: material color, hardware color (brass or brushed nickel), zipper color and zipper lining color.
Submit a customization request using our contact form and we'll contact you directly before proceeding. Be sure to enter the product name and describe any customizations you'd like made.

Not All Leather Is Created Equal
We source the highest quality full-grain leather available, known for its softness and resilience, to ensure our products withstand the rigors of daily use. With the natural grain remaining intact, full-grain leather retains its strength and rich character.
Lower-grade leathers, often labeled as“genuine leather,” are typically made from split layers of the hide that are heavily processed and coated to create a uniform surface. While they may look similar at first, these materials tend to crack and peel over time.
Luxurious Texture & Rich Patina
Rather than wearing out, our full-grain leather wears in. Over time, our leather develops a rich patina that reflects years of wear. This aging process enhances the leather’s beauty and provides unique characteristics and variations that make each piece one-of-a-kind.
Glazed in appearance, the darkening hues and signs of wear that our leather acquires with age make up what is known as a patina. This natural finish softens the material while imparting personality to an accessory meant to be worn for a lifetime.
A Material With Natural Origins
We source our leather from Argentina, a country long recognized for producing some of the finest hides in the world. Cattle are raised across the vast grasslands, where grazing conditions contribute to healthy hides with exceptional character.
Leather itself is a by-product of the meat industry, meaning the hides would otherwise go unused if not repurposed. Rather than allowing these hides to go to waste, they are processed into durable materials that can be used responsibly and appreciated for decades.
Mindful Style & Minimal Waste
After our leather is expertly sourced from Buenos Aires, we send it to New York City, where it is carefully prepared for production. During this process, it is enhanced to help create the most yield from a single piece of material while avoiding waste.
By thoughtfully planning how each pattern is placed, we are able to make the most of every hide. Smaller sections are often used for wallets and accessories, ensuring that the material is utilized as fully as possible.

"this is a beautifully constructed high quality and roomy messenger bag I love it and am going to buy one for my daughter as well!"
"Leather, quality, style, and color all exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend."
"This is the fourth Osgoode Marley bag purchased: 1 as above in black, 1 European messenger bag in black, 1 smaller travel bag and the more recent one above in brandy color. The quality of the leather is superb and so long lasting that even after purchasing my first 16 years ago and using it still and often, it is as fresh as when newly bought. Many a friend and passerby comment on their style and utility, so it is my pleasure to refer them to your great products."
"This bag is excellent in every way! The leather is gorgeous and the design is flawless. I am very pleased with my purchase."
"This messenger bag is a dream bag. I love the quality of the leather. I am 100% pleased with my purchase."
"I have been using this bag daily for over 10 years and it has put up with a lot. It fits my work laptop beautifully. The leather is sold yet durable, the stitching is only recently beginning to stretch and show signs of wear. Often get comments on the bag. I will buy another once this one finally retires, maybe in the next few years."
