8 Leather Gift Ideas That Men Will Love

The benefits of leather cannot be overstated. It's extremely durable, develops a unique patina, and always looks stylish.

Whether you're searching for a leather anniversary gift, celebrating a birthday, or want to give something just because, each collection from Latico Leather has you covered with these leather gift ideas.

1. For the adventurer: A backpack

In our opinion, the leather backpack is about collecting memories, not just "stuff". Every scuff and crease tells a story of where it's been, adding to its sentimental value.

The "anywhere" bag, a leather backpack looks just as at home at a music festival as it does when hiking in the forest. With multiple compartments, it's a hands-free way to transport all those essential accessories while oozing sophistication.

Our pick: We love the Sheldon Backpack as an everyday staple. Hand-crafted from soft yet tough leather, it's comfortable enough to wear for long durations. Featuring a roomy interior, plenty of pockets, and even a water bottle sleeve, it's no wonder it's one of our bestselling leather items.

2. For the business guy: A laptop case

For the high-flying man whose world is in his laptop, a leather laptop case will keep his most treasured item safe and sound. Small and minimalist, a case fits into any bag and will impress those corporate suits during high-stakes meetings.

More compact than a full-on briefcase, this is for the guy who prefers an uncluttered worklife.

Our pick: The Zippered Tablet Case, with its stylish black leather sleeve, fits perfectly into the professional environment. Its ultra-light 1.65 lb weight and slim profile make it highly portable, while clever bubble padding protects from bumps and scratches.

3. For the day-to-night gentleman: A messenger bag

The leather messenger bag strikes the ultimate balance between day and night wear. Casual enough for social events yet smart enough for business, it'll match the occasion, no matter how your man is dressed.

It's a roomy option too; the perfect gift for book lovers, laptop carriers, and those who just like to fit everything into one bag.

Our pick: We can't say no to the leather Yellowstone Messenger. It features a magnetic clasp for easy access and multiple compartments (including padded ones) for storing valuables. The minimalist design showcases the patina, and the adjustable strap is just at home crossbody as it is on the shoulder.

4. For the creative: A travel portfolio

The leather travel portfolio is an inspired gift for the inspired man; the one who's always sketching out ideas on napkins, jotting down notes, or planning their next project in detail.

With compartments for documents, a tablet, and storage for pens, everything can be kept organized in style. Perfect for writers, designers, freelancers, and dreamers!

Our pick: The Deluxe Zippered Leather Portfolio is the one for us. Featuring a spacious interior to fit all types of documents, there's also an exterior pocket to include a wallet and phone. The portfolio opens fully, like a book, making it ideal for on-the-go brainstorming and out-of-office meetings.

5. For the organized: Leather accessories

A leather gift doesn't have to be big to be impressive. Many smaller high-end leather accessories will make your man's day a little easier and a bit more organized.

Treat your guy to a leather valet tray to keep all those important bits and bobs in one place, a tech travel kit to prevent cables from going awry, or a leather travel bag to stow all his toiletries.

Our pick: We don't leave home without the leather Dale Travel Kit. Stunning leather in four classy color options, it features a top zipper and an exterior back pocket. With a durable nylon liner, the bag is protected from spills, ensuring it stays in tip-top condition.

For the power player: A computer bag

A step up from the laptop case is the leather computer bag. Refined in appearance, yet less stiff and stuffy than a briefcase, this gift is for the professional man who wants to make his mark on the world.

Designed to fit more than electronics, the computer bag has multiple sections for storing important documents, files, and wallets. And maybe a few snacks to keep the energy levels up.

Our pick: The leather Wall Street Laptop Brief is big and broad, and created with the businessman in mind. Along with the four storage compartments, the zippered, padded section protects a tablet or laptop. And, the magnetic, faux buckles add a traditional flourish.

7. For the urban explorer: A shoulder bag

A leather shoulder bag is the ultimate for city living. Large enough to carry a wallet, keys, phone, and a few other essentials, yet small enough to allow complete freedom of movement, it's perfect for carrying off that smart-casual look.

This is a fantastic leather gift idea for the man who likes to move through life with ease. He values practicality, but not at the expense of style.

Our pick: Our go-to for exploration or fun is the Austin Sling Bag. It's lightweight, compact, and features multiple compartments to keep things organized. Wearable as a crossbody or sling, the adjustable strap ensures comfort and hands-free convenience.

8. For the avid traveler: The weekender duffel

Did you know that the humble duffel bag is steeped in tradition? It originated in the 17th century and served as a rugged, rounded bag for soldiers in which to pack their gear.

It became synonymous with leaving home or starting an adventure so we think it's the best leather gift for a young man who is joining the military or heading off to college.

Our pick: Our Deluxe Travel Bag can hold absolutely everything, all wrapped up in classy brown or black leather. With six exterior compartments, reaching for your wallet or keys is easy, and the U-shaped main-compartment zip makes packing a breeze.

Tips To Help You Pick The Best Leather Gift For Men

Still not sure which leather gift to go for? Hopefully, these tips will help you decide:

• Match the gift to his lifestyle. A backpack is better suited to an outdoorsy guy, while a frequent traveler will get more use out of a duffel or travel bag.

• Think about practicality. For instance, a big, bulky item won't work for a man who has a long commute, and a compact bag isn't ideal for daytripping.

• Consider design. Leather items generally come in neutral tones, which match most tastes. However, the design matters. Will your guy prefer a minimalist look, something with detail, or something in between?

• Think long-term: Full-grain leather lasts a lifetime, so choose this over cheaper, inferior leather types.

Yes! Personalized or customized leather is a great gift for a man. Adding a monogram of his initials, an important date, or a secret message turns the item into something incredibly sentimental and special.
