Details

    100% Full-Grain Leather

    Handcrafted in small batches by skilled artisans in South America and India—never mass-produced. Each bag showcases unique natural variations in grain and shading that only the highest-quality leather can provide

    Classic Design with Modern Functionality

    Features a front flap with a faux buckle hides a secure closure, while three exterior zip pockets provide quick access to essentials like your phone, wallet, and keys—delivering both style and convenience.

    Dimensions & Weight

    Measuring 15” H x 5” D x 11” L and 3.1 lbs, the Mateo offers generous space for essentials without bulk, ideal for work, travel, or daily use. 

    Organized Interior

    The spacious main compartment includes a padded section for up to a 14" laptop or tablet, ensuring tech protection. An interior zippered pocket secures valuables, while a built-in organizer keeps pens, chargers, and small items neatly arranged.

    Premium Lining

    Soft and durable cotton twill lining protects your belongings and enhances the luxurious feel of the bag, complementing the rich leather exterior for a perfect blend of style and protection.

    Eco-Friendly Leather

    Responsibly sourced with LWG and REACH certifications, our leather is a byproduct of the meat and dairy industry, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. No harmful chemicals are used in the tanning process.

    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.

    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

    "Family-owned Latico Leathers is a gem for buttery-soft, 100% full-grain leather goods."

    "It's the bag’s attention to detail, like the use of leather so soft you could spread it on toast."

    "Independently owned and operated, makes a beautiful product, and is loyal to it's customer base."
