Stylish Leather Laptop Bags
There’s nothing more leather laptop bag than a workbag that’s made of rugged, high-quality leather. Unlike cheaper, faux-leather bags that can feel stiff and scratchy, these genuine-leather pieces are durable and soft—and they age gracefully. The key to selecting the best leather bag for you is understanding what you’ll be carrying from day to day (from your gym shoes to a notebook) and ensuring that you choose a piece with enough space, organizational features, and straps to handle it all.
To help, we tested 10 of the most stylish leather messenger bags on the market to find the most functional and comfortable. Our picks feature a wide variety of sizes and styles to suit every commuter, from those who want a minimal yet roomy bag to those who need ample pockets for organization and a big, padded laptop sleeve.

Made from full-grain, vegan leather, the Waterfield Executive bag looks like a luxury leather tote but has all the practicality of a travel briefcase, with a rear panel that slides onto luggage and an impeccably organized interior.
