Bag Retailers

Stores selling travel bags, casual bags and leather goods

A bag is the most carried accessory of all, and bag retailers divide by the job the bag does. Travel bags and luggage are built for packing, wheels, handles and airline dimensions. Casual bags, totes, backpacks and messenger bags, are built for daily carrying. Leather bags trade on material and construction, full-grain hides, stitched seams and hardware that ages well. The stores listed here cover that range: American Luggage Outlet, the internet division of a family luggage and leather goods business, Edwards Luggage, a family business begun in 1946 with four San Francisco Bay Area locations and Retailer of the Year awards from Hartmann and Tumi, Brighterman, a UK mens accessories retailer stocking designer brands, and VillageShop.com of Berks County, Pennsylvania, with its full line of Latico leather bags alongside shearling and sheepskin goods. Shoppers who mean a smaller carried bag should also see the purse stores page, and the travel bags guide linked from the listings.

  Royal Male : Barbour is more than just clothing. It is a quiet passion for something lasting and truly authentic. It belongs to the landscape, evolved by time and weather. Barbour clothing has been made in the north east of England and the borders of Scotland since the 19th century. Quality has never been compromised, purpose never forgotten by the generations of weavers, tailors and seamstresses that have made each garment. It is this legacy which is celebrated by Barbour classics. Unique British country clothing that could only be Barbour. Barbour's classic range of jackets is based on the original Barbour proofing formula which is called Sylkoil. Soft, flexible and non-sticky, the oil proofs natural cotton drapes superbly, bringing an extra workability to the tailoring and cut, and more comfort and style to the wearer, while keeping out the wet for the general out-of-door man and woman.

Choosing a Bag by Use

Start from what the bag must carry and how far. A travel bag is judged on capacity, weight when empty, wheel and handle quality, and whether its dimensions fit airline cabin or checked rules. A daily bag is judged on organization, pockets that match a phone, wallet, keys and laptop, strap comfort over a full day, and a shape that works with the clothes it will be carried against. A leather bag adds a third test, how the material will look after years of use, since good leather improves with handling while poor leather cracks and peels.

Price follows material and construction more than branding in this category. A well-made canvas or nylon travel bag can outlast a cheap leather one, and a mid-priced leather bag from a specialist luggage store often outlasts a fashion bag bought for its logo. The retailers on this page are the specialists: luggage stores that also service what they sell, leather goods stores with decades in the trade, and online accessory retailers with wide brand ranges.

Common Questions

What is the difference between a bag retailer and a luggage store?

Luggage stores concentrate on travel: suitcases, rolling cases, garment bags and travel accessories sized and built for trips. Bag retailers carry that travel range plus the everyday side, handbags, totes, backpacks, messenger bags and casual bags carried daily. Many stores here do both, Edwards Luggage and American Luggage Outlet pair luggage with leather goods, while a shop such as VillageShop.com adds bags to a wider leather and shearling range. The listings describe each store so the travel-only and everyday ranges are easy to tell apart.

What should a buyer check in a leather bag?

The hide, the stitching and the hardware. Full-grain leather wears in rather than wearing out and develops character with use. Seams should be evenly stitched with no loose threads, stress points at handles and straps should be reinforced, and zippers and clasps should run smoothly and feel solid. A leather bag is a long-service purchase, so construction matters more than surface finish, and the specialist leather retailers listed here are the stores that sell on that basis.

Are the bag stores listed here online, in person, or both?

Both patterns appear. American Luggage Outlet sells online as the internet division of an established store business, and Brighterman is an online mens accessories retailer in the UK. Edwards Luggage is a store group, with four locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, and VillageShop.com pairs its website with a physical location in Oley, Pennsylvania. Each listing gives the store's own address, phone or email where the store publishes them, so a shopper can choose the channel that suits the purchase.
