Redefining Everyday Essentials
Discover our collection of beautifully- designed leather essentials. Each piece embodies a bohemian aesthetic, breezy attitude, and independent spirit.
After three decades of working with leather, we've created heirloom-quality pieces that ripen with age. We hand-select each hide and use a unique blend of natural dyes so the natural character of each leather shines through.
The Embodiment
of Better
Each Latico bag is handmade with love by talented artisans throughout South America and India. 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.
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.

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."

- Tamara S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsSuperb little bag! Excellent organization
This was a wonderful little purse to use on my recent trip to Europe! I love the organization of it. My friend recently told me I need to give up on small purses because I actually have “big purse energy”…hahah…but this has worked well for me for short events / errands / evenings. The organization in it is AWESOME. Love the wine color, too. I feels like it can be dressed up or down. I wore it to a symphony concert of Mozart and also on a few touring days in Germany and Austria. Was able to fit a small wallet and passport, pens and small notebook, feminine hygiene stuff, a zip pouch with cash and credit card, pack of gum, nausea drops, and a couple souvenirs while shopping. I added a photo of the dress by Curator SF I wore this purse with for the symphony - it looked dressy enough - this little purse packs a big punch in terms of nice appearance and great organization.
- Eva N.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsAmazing small size bag!
I am in love with this little bag! I bought it as a gift for my mom. She absolutely loves it and uses it when she goes to do groceries. Everything fits well. The fact it’s a small bag and not heavy makes it perfect for her needs. The inside pockets are very useful. The cognac color is blissful!
- hannah m.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsIF YOU LIKE ORGANIZATION, YOU NEED THIS!
The organization inside of the Lilly crossbody is AMAZING! For how small this bag is, the way she is structured with pockets and zippers makes it possible to fit all of my necessities!
- Martha W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsBought three
Love it. Was initially surprised that the dye was so shaded, causing a noticeable variation in color. They include a tag in the purse explaining, but it’s better to know ahead of purchase to expect that. I like the quality and purchased two more for each daughter. Perfect for travel in particular.
