5 Reasons Why Latico Leathers Bags Are A Holiday Favorite

In today's era of online shopping, there are endless fashion and handbag brands to choose from when searching for your next go-to purse. But with that said, not every handbag company can say that they're family-owned and operated, socially and environmentally conscious, affordable, high-quality, top-rated, and of course, stylish.

At Latico Leathers, all of the above benefits are important tenets of our decades-old brand. We truly care about creating timeless, high-quality, and affordable leather bags that only improve with age, and we have built our family-run brand around that mission.

If you love and appreciate stylish and affordable leather bags, look no further than Latico this holiday season. A leather bag is the gift that will last for years to come, with wear only making your bag more uniquely yours. Ahead, find five reasons our brand stands apart from the rest:

Latico Leathers is known for our signature organizers in every leather bag we design. Along with high-quality full grain leather, we make sure to craft every bag with as many details as we can pack in to make your life easier. This includes our interior organizers with credit card holder slots, multiple pockets and pen holders. Latico is also known for our hidden cell phone pockets on our leather bags, making it easy to grab your phone out on the go, for a quick photo or to send a text.

Affordability has always been a central tenet of the Latico Leathers brand. We believe that high-quality leather products should be accessible to all, and our current prices reflect that sentiment. Even if you're trying to have a budget friendly holiday this season, we have something for everyone on your list. Ranging from $65 to $390, all of our pieces are budget-conscious, thoughtfully designed, and most importantly, cute!

After three decades of working with leather, we've mastered the art of creating unique, heirloom-quality pieces that only ripen with age. We hand-select each hide and use a unique blend of natural dyes to maintain the character and integrity of each leather. From there, we soak and rinse each hide to reveal the natural characteristics and grain of each piece. Next, we tumble dry each piece to carefully soften the exterior and achieve that smooth, buttery-soft finish. The end result is a beautiful, buttery-soft leather piece that will last you 10-plus years (the gift that truly keeps on giving!). Our pieces are designed to stand the test of time, both from a quality and style perspective.

Each Latico bag is handmade with love by talented artisans throughout South America and India, so you can feel good about supporting local makers when buying from Latico during the holidays and year-round. We're passionate about environmental sustainability and giving back — our leathers are byproducts of the meat and dairy industry that would otherwise go to waste. We never use any dangerous chemicals, oils, or synthetic materials like polyurethane when crafting our bags. Additionally, we donate 10 meals to Feeding America for every purchase made on our website. Thanks to our loyal customers, we've been able to donate 100,000 meals and counting to this incredible organization!

In addition to winning the prestigious Carlos Falchi Handbag Designer Award in 2020, Latico Leathers has been featured in the likes of Vogue magazine, Glamour magazine, Women's Wear Daily, Refinery29, InStyle Magazine and more. Plus, our customer reviews don't lie — we have over 15,000 glowing five-star reviews that speak for themselves (see them all here).
