How To Choose The Perfect Leather Bag

Choosing the right leather bag can be tough for a professional. With so many options on the market, it's hard to know which one is right for you. Do you want a messenger bag or a briefcase? Should you buy a leather duffle bag or a backpack?

A professional's leather bag says a lot about their style. It is an essential accessory that can make or break an outfit. Whether you are carrying a work laptop, gym clothes, or just your everyday essentials, the right bag will make you look and feel put together.

In this blog post, we'll break down the five main types of leather bags for professionals available from Tom Voyager today. We'll also give you some guidelines on when to use each type of bag. By the end of this post, you'll know exactly which leather bag is right for your needs.


  1. Messenger Bag 

Messenger bags are ideal for professionals who need to carry a lot with them but want to avoid the bulkiness of a briefcase. A messenger bag is a shoulder bag that features a single strap. They're also great for travel since they can be easily thrown over your shoulder when you're on the go.


Characteristics

  • Multiple compartments, to store a variety of items
  • Adjustable shoulder strap
  • Usually features a fold over flap on top to open and close the bag

Our Recommendation:

The Huckleberry Messenger Bag

Modern Vintage Leather Bag


  1. Briefcase 

Briefcases are a classic choice for the modern professional. A briefcase is a type of suitcase that is specifically designed to carry documents and other business materials. Briefcases usually have two handles and come with an optional shoulder strap. If you're looking for a sophisticated way to carry your work materials, a briefcase is the way to go.


Characteristics

  • More rigid structure (to protect paperwork)
  • Top handle for carrying purposes
  • Rectangular shape
  • May have shoulder strap for comfort

Our Recommendation:

Emerald Leather Bag

Unique Green Leather Laptop Bag

 

  1. Leather Duffel Bag 

A leather duffel bag is a large bag that is perfect for carrying everything you need for a weekend getaway or trips to the gym (we like to call it “The Weekender”). Duffel bags typically have one large compartment and several smaller exterior & interior pockets. This makes it easy to keep everything organized and within reach.


Characteristics

  • Large top leather handle
  • Top closure opens and closes its main compartment
  • A shoulder strap that extends across the length of the bag
  • One or two round compartments on either end of the bag usually used for shoes or other items

Our Recommendation:

The Duncan Leather Duffel Bag

Tan duffel bag


  1. Backpack 

Backpacks are not just for school anymore! They evenly distribute the weight of your belongings across your body and free up your hands, making them a wise choice when moving around or travelling. Backpacks are perfect for professionals who are always on the go. 


Characteristics

  • Multiple zippers/buckles to close individual pockets
  • Two adjustable shoulder straps
  • A small handle at the top for quick and easy handling
  • Can be frameless or have an external or internal frame for support

Our Recommendation:

Ventura Genuine Leather Backpack

Luxury Leather Backpack

 

  1. The Leather Laptop Bag

Many of the bag types we listed above technically fall under this broader category of bag, but we chose to keep it separate since it serves a sole purpose. The leather laptop bag is designed to carry your laptop around safely, in the most effective and comfortable way.


Characteristics

  • Soft interior padding (for protection) 
  • Ample space (indicates which size laptop it can accommodate)

Our Recommendation:

The Hayden Messenger Bag

Classic Slim Leather Laptop Bag


There are many different types of leather bags available on the market, but these are the five main types that every professional should know about. Of course, there are other specialty bags available as well, but these five will cover most of your needs. Now that you know about the different types of leather bags, it's time to choose the right one for your needs!

Consider what you will be using it for most often and select a style that fits your needs. If you're looking for a versatile bag that can be dressed up or down, go with a messenger bag. If you need something more formal, try a briefcase or leather laptop bag. For casual occasions or active pursuits, duffel bags and backpacks are great choices. No matter what type of leather bag you choose, you'll look sharp and stylish with it!
