We offer product personalization—embossing and engraving—for most of our leather accessories. Add initials, names, dates, logos, phrases, or personal messages to create a truly thoughtful and one of a kind gift of sentimental value that can be cherished for years to come.
You’ll find personalization options on the product page of your chosen item. Select embossing or laser engraving before checkout, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Once your order is placed, we'll promptly send an email featuring a visual representation of the engraving for your selected product, ensuring it meets your expectations before the personalization process begins.
Vegetable-tanned leather may vary slightly in texture and color across different parts or products, and, in some cases, include small, occasional scars, inherent to the hide's natural surface. These marks are not defects but rather are indicative of authenticity, highlighting the material's quality and our commitment to natural beauty. Below, you'll find illustrations that showcase these features. If you prefer a more uniform look, there are cheaper alternatives available that are extensively chemically treated for consistency. However, they lack the longevity and evolving rich patina that our vegetable-tanned leather offers.
To preserve these distinctive features and ensure your leather accessory ages gracefully, we recommend treating it once a month with our Premium Leather Cream. This regular maintenance not only enhances the longevity of your accessory but also complements the unique characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather.

As Featured In
Made in Italy
It is not without reason that Italy is known as the land of true artisans. All our products are made in Florence and Northern Italy in family-owned studios, where the tradition of leather craftsmanship has been passed down generations. Believing that our customers deserve the best and showing our appreciation for this masterful heritage craft, we are ready to pay honest production prices for the high-quality work being put into each product.
Certified Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather
Von Baer products are crafted using premium vegetable-tanned Italian leather. Because we believe in the importance of sustainability, each of our product comes with a certificate of leather origin. The trademark Pelle Conciata al Vegetale in Toscana (Tuscan Vegetable-Tanned Leather) guarantees the quality and origin of the leather. It encompasses not just the material itself but also how it has been treated.
Fine Italian Cotton Lining
We ensure that all our products are beautiful inside and out. We use natural thick and robust Italian cotton canvas lining. Unlike synthetic materials, it is sustainable and pleasant to touch. Moreover, the cotton lining is long-lasting thanks to the well-known Italian grasp of impeccable textile manufacturing. Due to this, an ordinary fabric like cotton is turned into something that will serve well to those who expect the highest quality.
Japanese YKK Zippers
Your product is only as good as its weakest link. You don’t want to throw away your bag after a couple of months of use simply because the zipper didn’t hold up. That’s why we only use the renowned YKK zippers for our products.
Sustainability
When choosing Von Baer products, you can be sure that you’re not only getting something stylish and high quality but are also supporting a sustainable business and traditional craftsmanship. We do our business in a way that supports local communities and does not harm the planet.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Can this bag be used frequently without it experiencing wear and tear?
We use quality materials, hardware, and technology to make our bags. We want our bags and their hardware to last a long time even with daily use. As long as you don't take it to the extreme (wearing in severe weather, dropping it on rough surfaces etc.) the bag should be very durable and long-wearing. That said, all leather products should be conditioned from time to time. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down any dust and apply our Premium Leather Cream to condition the leather and make it appear shiny.

Are the top handles strong? Can they withstand the weight if the bag is heavily packed?
The handles are designed to be durable for carrying around a laptop, documents, and books.
