Gifts for Your Adult Son

Von Baer Gifts for Him. Handmade from Full-Grain Leather, Covered for Five Years.

Every piece in this range is made from full-grain leather, cut from A-grade hides and drum-dyed so the color runs all the way through.

• Full-grain leather cut from the bend, made to last a lifetime: we use the top layer of the hide with the natural grain preserved in full, selected from A-grade Bos Taurus hides (chosen for tight, fine, consistent grain) and cut from the bend (the back and butt of the hide, where the fibers are densest and tightest). This leather keeps its refined look through years of daily use, where bonded leather peels at the edges.
• Drum-dyed, so the color runs all the way through: we drum-dye the leather, so if your son ever scuffs a corner on a desk edge, the leather underneath is the same shade, not the pale mark surface-dyed leather shows.
• Handmade by skilled artisans: every product is made by hand.
• Hand-embossed initials, complimentary: almost every piece can carry up to four of his initials, hand-pressed before it ships, either into the leather itself on wallets and small goods or onto the included leather luggage tag on bags and briefcases.
• Gift-wrapped and ready to give: wallets, card holders and other smaller pieces arrive wrapped in tissue in our gift box and gift bag. Larger bags come in a soft cotton dust bag, and briefcases and travel bags include a matching leather luggage tag.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty on every piece: we stand behind every piece for five years against defects in materials or workmanship, because each one is made to be carried for decades. We never discount, year-round.

Von Baer Gifts for Your Son. Leather for His Work, His Travel, and His Desk.

Our range covers what he carries daily, what he works from, what he travels with, and what he keeps on his desk at home.

• His first serious office job: our No.1 Men's Leather Briefcase carries a 16-inch laptop in a padded compartment and A4 documents flat in a triple-gusset layout (expandable compartments), with slip pockets for phone and tablet, pen slots, and a key-lock closure for anything confidential. It measures 40.5 x 29 x 10-12cm (15.9 x 11.4 x 3.9-4.7in) and weighs 2.1kg (4.7lb).
• Daily commute, hands free: the Liberty Men's Leather Backpack has a 14-inch padded laptop sleeve, two zipped front pockets, and adjustable leather shoulder straps. When your son is on the train or walking to work with his hands full, his laptop and essentials are on his back in full-grain leather that still looks right at the office. The Liberty measures 33 x 40 x 12cm (12.99 x 15.75 x 4.72in) and weighs 1.4kg (3.09lbs).
• His wallet needs replacing: our Classic Bifold Leather Wallet holds up to ten cards across four slots and extra compartments, plus coins in a snap-close pocket and notes in two full-length bill compartments. It also has RFID blocking (stops wireless scanners reading the chip in contactless cards). If you've noticed his current wallet is looking tired, this is the piece he'll reach for every day. The Classic Bifold measures 11 x 9.3 x 2cm (4.3 x 3.7 x 0.79in) and weighs 60g (2.12oz).
• Weekend trips, work trips, or the gym: the Weekender Men's Leather Weekend Bag is a soft-sided duffel, with a separate padded pocket for laptops up to 16 inches and carry-on compliant dimensions (fits airline cabin-bag size limits). We designed it to work as a gym bag too, so he can pack it for a weekend trip on Friday and for the gym on Monday. The Weekender measures 55 x 30 x 23.5cm (21.65 x 11.81 x 9.25in) and weighs 2.2kg (4.9 lb).
• Moving into a new home or office: a valet tray (a shallow leather dish for the small items he empties from his pockets) gives keys, watch, and wallet one permanent landing spot. Our Majestic Leather Valet Tray has snap-button closures and a water-repellent finish, and it can carry his initials blind-embossed. The tray's usable area is 16 x 16 x 4.8cm (6.3 x 6.3 x 1.9in), and it weighs 117g (4.1oz). It pairs with our leather desk pad for a two-piece desk set.
• He travels with watches: our Calibre Leather Watch Roll holds two watches on detachable padded cushions inside a rigid, reinforced case. A watch roll (a padded leather case that holds wristwatches for storage or travel) protects them from knocks in a bag or on a nightstand. It measures 15.5 x 10 x 7.3cm (6.1 x 3.9 x 2.9in) and weighs 200g (7oz).

FAQs

Which of these gifts can be personalized with my son's initials?

Almost every piece in this range can be blind-embossed with up to four of his initials, complimentary. The zip-around travel wallet uses gold embossing rather than blind embossing. Check the personalization box on the product page and add the initials when you order.

Do these arrive gift-ready, and is delivery included?

Wallets, card holders, and most small accessories arrive wrapped in tissue in a gift box and gift bag (the desk pad comes in a protective microfiber sleeve). Bags and briefcases come in a soft cotton dust bag, with a matching leather luggage tag included.

Delivery is by express courier, complimentary on orders over $150, with duties and taxes included in the US, Canada, the UK, EU countries, and sixteen others including Australia, Japan, Switzerland, and the UAE.
