This is the 3rd handbag I've bought from American Leather. The leather is of superior quality, one of the bags is so soft like butter and I love the smell of real leather.

Questions
Handbag questions, answered
What makes American Leather Co. handbags different?
The leather. Glove-tanned hides are tumbled until they are soft enough for a glove, so the bags drape from the first carry and develop a patina over years. Every bag uses leather from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group and is finished with brass hardware and organized interiors.
Is it real leather?
Yes. American Leather Co. handbags are 100% genuine leather, with the leather type (glove-tanned, pebble, suede) listed on each product page.
How do I pick a size?
Match the bag to what you carry every day. Mini styles fit a phone, cards, and keys; medium styles add a wallet and sunglasses; large styles fit a tablet. Interior dimensions are listed on every product page.
Do the bags come with straps?
Most convertible styles include a removable, adjustable crossbody strap in addition to handles or a shoulder strap. The product page lists what is included.
How do I care for a leather handbag?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth, keep the bag out of prolonged direct sun, and store it stuffed and upright when not in use. Avoid household cleaners and saddle soap. Our leather care guide covers conditioning, stains, and suede in more detail.
