We designed the leather Weekender bag to be practical, spacious, and timelessly elegant—a men's holdall that fits everything you need.
Handcrafted in Florence, Italy by experienced craftsmen in family-owned studios, the Weekender is made from full-grain vegetable-tanned cow leather of exquisite quality. Smooth yet robust top leather handles make it easy to carry and there's an adjustable leather shoulder strap too which you can easily remove when necessary.
The spacious main compartment of this weekend overnight bag is lined with high-quality cotton canvas and features inner compartments for keeping your belongings nicely organized - there's also a separate padded zip pocket for your laptop, making it secure to carry and easily accessible, and smaller pockets for other valuables like chargers, toiletries and travel essentials. Plenty of room for that weekend getaway.
Not only is this a fantastic weekend holdall for travel but also a great sports duffel bag or gym bag. The sturdy studs on the base of the bag protect it from wear so you can use it without worry, and the solid brass hardware and zippers are designed to last for years.
This weekender bag can be monogrammed with a custom laser engraving, perfect as a gift or a personalized bag for yourself.

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.














We recommend treating your leather accessory once a month with our Premium Leather Cream. First, remove any dirt or dust from the leather with a cloth. Then apply a thin and even layer of the cream on dry and clean leather with a cotton cloth in circular movements. Allow to dry and then polish.
When ordering from us, you’ll receive everything ready to be gifted. Our bags come with a handmade cotton dust bag. Please use it when storing the bag to help the leather remain in good condition and develop a rich patina over time.Additionally, all smaller items such as wallets and belts will arrive beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, a gift box, and a gift bag.
We offer free worldwide express shipping on all orders over $500.

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.

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, 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.

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.
