What Sets Us Apart

Family Owned & Operated Since 1984

Crafted from 100% Genuine Leather

Affordable & Environmentally Conscious

About Our Founders

Founder and CEO Paul Schreiber started Latico Leathers fresh out of college in 1984. He began selling leather goods out of his trunk in NYC, and soon enough, specialty boutiques in Greenwich Village couldn't keep his merchandise in stock. Bands like the Grateful Dead eventually became fans of his genuine leather bags, and Latico grew into its identity as a leather goods company with a rock and roll twist.

Paul met his wife Lainie — an uptown girl with a New York fashion background — and the two launched a celebrated women’s line. The unique artisan linings, unexpected leather treatments, and extensive interior organization created during that time would come to define Latico’s signature style.

Today, our customers refer to us as their “one-stop shop” for quality leather goods. In fact, over 80% of our business comes from repeat customers. We can’t thank you enough for your ongoing support!

"Just as we've demonstrated our success in designing and manufacturing quality investment pieces, we've also achieved a high level of customer satisfaction by listening and responding to our loyal customers."

- Paul & Lainie Schreiber, Founders of Latico Leathers

    Beautiful

    Love my new Gita! Perfect size for me. The leather is super soft and beautiful! I'm hooked on Latico leathers now. Waiting for my Andi wallet to come today. I chose the poppy color because I wanted something bright and cheerful. I made the right choice! Thank you, Latico! I'm a customer for life!

    Perfection!

    This is the perfect bag. I had been looking for a new purse for over a month and couldn't find anything that was the right size and style. This was exactly what I was looking for, not too big, not too small, lots of pockets in all the right places, a gorgeous color, Goldilocks herself wouldn't be able to find a flaw. Highly recommend, I will definitely be purchasing from this company again!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE & LOVE!!

    I can NOT stress enough how amazing this bag is! As someone who’s on the go all the time to and from work, this bag has been a life saver on my commutes. I commute on the train & I can store absolutely everything I need (including my lunch) in it :) Not only that, but the leather & craftsmanship is very well done & super high quality. You really can never go wrong with a Latico bag, especially their Gita bag!

    Leather is amazing!

    I love this bag! The leather is soft and obvious good quality, the pockets are great and its a perfect size! My only complaint was the shoulder strap, it was not removable and way too long. I took it to a local leather shop and had it cut off and made to desired length. I wish you would offer multiple sizes of straps so we could just purchase what we wanted, different thicknesses and lengths..every womans dream! Thank you for a great purse!
