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

    Almost perfect

    Plenty of room for the essentials and a little extra. Love the color. Wanted the denim as well but…..Only drawback for me…..it’s a little uncomfortable carrying as a backpack. The hardware on the straps hit me on the shoulders due to the short length of the straps I prefer. I carry as a shoulder bag.

    I’m In Love!

    This is my second bag I’ve owned from here and I just can’t say enough about them. Buttery soft, light weight and so very cute. Fits everything I need and I’m able to keep everything organized. I love the secret pocket that fits my phone!

    Very functional!

    Sussex in cognac color is absolutely gorgeous. It is big enough yet small enough to not be too bulky and heavy.
