Excellent Customer Service

It’s so nice to actually communicate with someone live and work through your respective situation. Liz Duron was a pleasure to work with.. she was prompt, professional, and solution oriented. I was sent a new buckle to replace a defective one. I strongly recommend The Real Leather Company

The post office lost the bag I ordered

The post office lost the bag I ordered. Danelle from customer service was patient with me. Considering how angry and frustrated I was, she was a trooper in helping me resolve the situation. After a month of trying to find the bag with no resolution, the Real Leather Company replaced the lost bag. This is the second time I have ordered the bag as a gift for my son, and he loves it.

My daughter received The Western…

My daughter received The Western backpack for a graduation present. She only used it for this past Fall semester and in her 1st week back for Spring semester one of the rivets securing the strap broke and her backpack is unusable. I contacted the company and they said "We profusely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and wish to assure you that we will make this right," only to be told after submitting the requested photos that it was "out of the 30 day warranty period and there is nothing they can do." They said I should take it to a local shop to get it fixed. No one pays $280 for a backpack and expects it to break like that! Shoddy construction and they tout on the website and I quote "We never compromise on quality. We use the best materials and pay attention to every detail to make sure our backpacks for men are top-notch. From the stitching to the zippers, every part is made with care for durability and long-lasting use."
What a load of crap! Horrible customer service!!
I will never purchase from this company again and would warn against anyone else purchasing from them also unless you want the burden of fixing soon after purchase.

Hello Gail, we were very sorry to hear of your difficulties. This is rare to see a broken rivet as they are made from tough materials, especially in this product. Unfortunately, we are unable to replace bags outside of our warranty period as we can't guarantee what has happened to them and that this is a manufacturing defect. We wish you the best.

Very Happy Customer...

I just happened to find The Real Leather Company online looking for a well made leather backpack. After doing some research, I took the plunge. I couldn't be more satisfied. The bag is better than I could have imagined. It's well made. The classic leather look is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend using The Real Leather Company.

I love the look at the bag however

I love the look at the bag however, the customer service that supports this company is absolutely horrible. They’re very slow to respond when they did give me a response because I have a broken buckle. They said that I was out of warranty when I’ve only use the bag once on a trip to Europe and I have two broken buckles that they said I could buy for $15 each but yet still have not heard back from anybody buyer. Beware cool product horrible service I would stay away.

Hi William, we're very sorry to hear about your experience, we've had some customer service challenges in the last few weeks that are thankfully resolved now. Unfortunately I have checked your order and you are now out of the warranty period. We've reached out to you to help you get your replacement buckle.
