Laptop Bags & Cases

Custom leather laptop bags come down to three decisions: how you want to carry the laptop, what size it is, and what, if anything, goes on the front. On this page you will find handmade briefcases, messenger bags, totes and slim zip bags for laptops from 11 to 19 inches, plus a few totes sized for an iPad. If you only need a sleeve with no strap, go to leather laptop sleeves and cases; covers for tablets and e-readers are under iPad and tablet cases.

Briefcase, messenger or tote

If your hands are often full, start with the Briefcase Bag. You can carry it by the top handle, on a shoulder strap or on a pair of backpack straps, and the flap closes with two buckled straps. It comes in one size: 14″ wide, 10.5″ tall and 3.5″ deep. The Messenger Bag Classic keeps the buckled flap and adds sizes, the largest marked for 15- to 17-inch laptops. Messenger Bag Lore moves the buckles down to two front pockets.

With a tote you carry the laptop on the shoulder or in the hand. Laptop Tote Bag Lisbon comes in sizes for 13-, 15- and 17-inch laptops, with or without a laptop section: a leather pocket that fastens inside at its two top corners. The Tote Bag With Trolley Sleeve has a leather band across the back. Slide it over your suitcase handle and the suitcase carries it through the airport. Muse, Valencia and Core, the other laptop totes, are with them on leather laptop bags for women.

The Leather Laptop Bag and Laptop Bag Stylish are the slim ones: a zip top, a zipped front pocket, two handles and a shoulder strap. Both are made to measure. You pick a screen range from 11–12″ to 17–19″, then type your laptop's length, width and height into the size box on the product page. If you would rather carry everything on your back, there is the Laptop Backpack.

Which size fits your laptop

Find your screen size in the left column. Each fixed size on the right is named for the laptop it takes. The two made-to-measure bags and the Laptop Bag with Small Pouch Set are sold in screen ranges instead, 11–12″ to 17–19″, so they cover every row from 11 inches up. For a 16-inch laptop, see the first question below.

Stamped initials or an engraved logo

Choose Yes for personalization on the product page. In the notes box, write the words, the method, and the number of the font or design from the chart in the product photos. Stamping is for letters, in one typeface: heated metal type debosses them into the leather, blind or with gold or silver foil. Laser engraving burns the design into the surface, so it can copy a drawing or a logo; you email the file to sales@pikore.shop after ordering. The spot is set by the bag, most often the middle of the flap on briefcases and messengers and the top of the front on totes. Nothing is embroidered. The personalization page shows finished examples from customers.

Colors and leather

Light Cognac, Cognac, Brown, Black and Green are offered on every bag except the backpack, which comes in Light Cognac only. All the totes add Burgundy, and Lore adds pink, red and gray. If you already know you want green, the green leather laptop bags page puts them side by side.

The standard colors are full-grain Crazy Horse, and it keeps a record: scuffs show up as pale marks, and most fade when you rub them with a thumb. You will also feel the weight. A leather bag is heavier than a nylon one of the same size before anything goes in. If you walk a lot, two straps carry it more evenly than one, and that is the case for the Briefcase Bag's backpack straps. If you want a bag that stays exactly as it arrived, a coated leather will suit you better than this one.

Questions

Will a 16-inch laptop fit in a bag made for 15 inches?

Don't count on it. A 16-inch laptop is usually wider than a 15-inch one, and the sizes marked 15″ here are made for 15-inch machines. Take Messenger Bag Classic L, which is marked 15–17″, size up to a 17-inch bag, or choose the 15–16″ range on a made-to-measure bag and type in the measurements.

Can you put a company logo on bags for a whole team?

Yes, with laser engraving, the only method that reproduces a logo. For more than a few bags, start on the corporate orders page: there is no minimum order, and you approve a mockup before the batch is made.
