Excellent products and great service

Excellent products and great service. Rigelle with The Real Leather Company kept me informed every step of the way by providing excellent customer service. It is my first time doing business with the company and I was kept informed on the status of my order as well as any potential delays that might have occurred. Now that I have received the products I ordered, I can appreciate the quality of them and can say that their level of service is consistent with the level of workmanship they strive for in their products. I recommend others to explore their selection and consider doing business with them.

Thank you Liz! 5/5 stars!

Liz was very helpful throughout the process. Originally I received an email that the bag I ordered was out of stock. Liz was quick with offering me alternatives and helping me weigh my options. Eventually, we found out that the bag I ordered was able to be ship on time. Although I have never met Liz in person, I can tell she is a friendly, supportive, and patient individual.

Excellent CaseI

Excellent CaseI bought my executive bag two years ago and it goes with me everyday from home to work and back. This is a roomy, extremely well made case; it holds everything I need to carry and there's usually room left for more. It is exactly what I needed and would have gladly paid more.

RFID Leather Wallet

RFID Leather Wallet
I spent several months eagerly awaiting the restock of a wallet I'd had my eye on. During that time, I reached out with a question, and Liz responded right away, keeping me consistently updated on the status. Even Zac, the founder, personally checked in to reassure me they hadn’t forgotten. This level of attention is rare in my experience and made the wait for my wallet so much easier to bear. Beyond the fantastic customer service, the wallet I received truly exceeded my expectations! This is my second purchase from the Real Leather Company, and they’ve secured me as a customer for life. I wholeheartedly recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and care.

Do NOT order from this company

Do NOT order from this company. I spent over $500 for a bag to last 2 months. They will repair it if I pay for shipping both ways. Oh, and by the way it’s taken me weeks to get a response. Never order!!!!

Hi Kate,

Thank you for providing your feedback regarding your recent experience.

We appreciate your concern; however, it is important to note that as per the clear policies on our website, we can only authorise a replacement for items that fall within our guarantee period. We do this in order to protect our business from those that might seek to damage our goods on purpose.

Our records indicate that your bag was purchased five months ago, and unfortunately, the issue with one of the bags you purchased is no longer covered under our replacement guarantee. We have offered you the option of a complimentary repair to your bag, should you choose to return it to us. We would ask you to pay for shipping only. You have unfortunately declined this offer.

Furthermore, we would like to clarify that your order, totaling $526, includes four items, rather than the single bag you are having an issue with. We strive to respond to all inquiries in a timely manner, and we hope this has been evident in our private communications with you.

We trust that this explanation provides clarity regarding the matter, although we understand that it may not align with your desired resolution.

Thank you for your understanding.

First trip with the CROS

Excellent craftsmanship and features. I would suggest a bit wider to transport a IPAD Pro as it was tight fit. Keep in mind it wasn’t designed to hold the big IPAD’s but it still worked.

Phenomenal Experience - Thanks Liz!

Was sincerely disappointed when I found the exact bag that I was looking for, only to find on the website that they don't ship to Australia!!

I contacted customer service, and in a very short period of time the wonderful Liz went above and beyond to get me a shipping quote, send an invoice for payment and received within 2 weeks! Now that is exceptional service to go above and beyond.

By the way... the bag is AWESOME! Highly recommended company, excellent quality leather, and a shopping experience almost impossible to find these days! Thank you

Beautiful products, excellent customer service.

The bag I ordered for my son is a gorgeous piece he will have for many years. He loves it, it's beautiful and it was shipped quickly. When a clasp unexpectedly broke, the issue was quickly and kindly resolved, and we received a replacement in record time. My experience with Liz at customer service was top notch. I highly recommend this company, the best!!

Superb product & Service

A superb product matched by excellent customer service. Tried to order a bag online but Singapore delivery was not an option. Got an automated email noting that I had browsed but not ordered, and whether there was any issue I faced. On replying, I got in contact with a real person, Liz, who then helped me by creating a manual order, tweaked it further to allow for international payments, followed up with the correct delivery address and generally was prompt and responsive through the process. When I received the bag (earlier than expected!) I was impressed with the quality, styling and finish. Now a delighted customer, where the product and the customer service have both been exemplary. Thank you Liz and thank you The Real Leather Company!

Rigelle to the rescue!

After realizing that I ordered the wrong color backpack I reached out to the support team. Support team member Rigelle responded within 10 minutes, updated my order and informed me of the change. This great customer service enabled me to avoid returning the item for an exchange.

The Western is a Very nice Backpack

The Western is a Very nice Backpack. Delivery was time was great considering the origin and destination. Bought this for my son to use at college. It looks like it will last a lifetime. Large enough for his laptop and any other items he will need during the day.
