Father’s Day Gift Ideas: Leather Gifts & More
Shopping for Dad can be tricky. Ask him what he wants, and he’ll likely say he’s got it all.
That's why we think a leather bag makes for one of the best Father's Day gift ideas. Besides being a thoughtful gift, they're stylish, practical, and will be something your Dad actually uses.
To save you the struggle of trying to find the perfect one, check out this list of leather bags that will make any Dad thrilled on Father's Day.
3 Gifts for the Outdoorsy Dad
For the Dad who loves hiking, touring the city, or simply strolling around the local park, these bags for the outdoors are functional and built to last.
1. Leather backpack
Backpacks are a global favorite for their unbeatable practicality, making them a top Father’s Day pick.
Take our Barcelona backpack from the new Aviator Collection, for example. Made from durable full-grain leather with a classic design, it suits both wilderness treks and urban outings.
With a roomy main compartment and two exterior pockets, Dad can pack his gear for a weekend hike, camping trip, or a day out with the kids. The padded straps give extra comfort, which means he'll be able to wear it all day without complaining about his back!
2. Sling bag
If Dad prefers to travel light, the Austin sling is the perfect present. Big enough for the essentials but small enough to take everywhere, it can be used for urban strolls, bike rides, or exploring new trails without being weighed down.
Featuring two zippered compartments and interior pockets, there's no excuse for your Dad to lose his keys.
3. Laptop backpack
For a mix of adventure and utility, our Explorer laptop backpack is the ultimate Father's Day gift for the Dad who can't leave his electronics behind.
With a ton of exterior and interior pockets, there's enough room for office and leisure necessities, and of course, the main compartment easily fits a laptop or tablet.
It's tough enough for outdoor use and smart enough for work trips, making it ideal for the Dad who is a professional during the week and Indiana Jones on the weekend.
3 Gifts for the Travel Dad
If your Dad's idea of a good time is hopping on a plane or riding into the sunset, give him gear that travels as well as he does. These leather companions will add a touch of class to the journey and keep his belongings organized.
1. Travel duffel bag
A travel duffel bag is rugged and undeniably handsome. With premium leather and solid construction, it’s the kind of bag that makes airport security a little more stylish and weekend getaways even more appealing.
Our Cabin duffel is a bestseller because it fits snugly in overhead compartments and avoids the chaos of the checked bag queue. Why not pair it with a premium leather luggage tag to complete the weekend setup?
If you're wondering about weekender vs duffel bags, think about the type of trips your Dad likes to take. If he's a couple-of-days kind of guy, he'll love our Las Vegas Weekender. For longer jaunts, the Cabin duffel or the Charleston duffel is a roomier choice.
2. Accessory roll
Every man on the planet has a beloved drawer or box stuffed with "essential" tangled cables and chargers. And while that's not practical to take on vacation, the leather travel accessory roll is.
It helps keep cords, cables, and other small items neat and tidy, so it's a special gift for the dad who could use a little more organization and a little less rummaging for a lost charger. Plus, it rolls up to a super compact size and can be easily stowed in any of our duffel or weekender bags.
3. Grooming travel kit
Even the most rugged Dads need their grooming essentials. The Uptown travel kit is a stylish Father's Day upgrade to that old ziplock bag he's been using for years.
Made from premium leather with a water-resistant lining, he'll appreciate the convenience of keeping all his lotions and toiletries in one place.
4 Gifts for the Professional Dad
The professional Dad needs a Father's Day gift that strikes the right balance between function and elegance.
Our entire collection of premium leather gifts suits the office lifestyle, but here are some of our favorites.
1. Leather laptop case
For the Dad who's constantly on the move with his tech, a leather laptop case is essential for keeping electronics safe and secure.
Our zippered leather laptop case features padded protection and a sleek design, making it a definite upgrade from the usual bulky laptop bag. It'll look just as stylish in a home office as it does on the boardroom table.
2. Messenger bag
The messenger bag is way more comfortable and modern-looking than a traditional briefcase.
Gift your Dad the Spring St Messenger bag for Father's Day. Why? Because it looks great without going overboard. Made from rich, full-grain leather and featuring a smart overlap design, it's classic without being too formal.
3. The Sheldon backpack
Who said backpacks had to be casual? Our Sheldon backpack looks sleek and professional with plenty of compartments for office essentials.
Thanks to its comfortable and compact design, it's ideal for those who prefer the ergonomic ease of a backpack without compromising aesthetics.
It's a unique gift for Dads who have a busy or crowded commute, plus it can just as easily be used on the weekend.
3 Gifts for the Organized Dad
If your Dad finds joy in keeping it neat, these leather desk accessories will hit the spot. They're small, thoughtful, and can be paired with any of our bags.
1. Desk box
Just like the drawer of cables, all men need a space for their odds and ends. Those little items that don't belong anywhere in particular but just have to be kept. Our leather desk box provides the perfect place for such things.
It looks great on a desk, coffee table, or shelf, all neat and tidy, even if the inside is another story.
2. Pocket portfolio
The three-pocket portfolio is a great Father's Day gift for Dads with big ideas. Featuring three compartments, a pen loop, and a writing pad, your Dad can take it everywhere and write whenever inspiration hits.
To make it more meaningful, why not slip in a few photos of the kids or grandkids?
3. Passport wallet
A tatty passport always raises eyebrows during airport security checks. Instead, keep it elegant with our leather passport wallet. It has three interior compartments for other important travel documents, keeping everything within easy reach.
It's our top pick for traveling Dads who like to go the extra mile when organizing their trips.
