The redesign of the Mountainback Collection has been in the works for years. Dave says it's the hardest thing he's ever designed. It made him a better man, and it's almost embarrassing how far he went on the detail for these waxed canvas bags. The collection drops tomorrow, 11/1/22. https://saddlebackleather.com/

The 7th piece of the Grandfather Collection, the 18" Grandfather Briefcase, will include the 11x14 signed art titled The Professor, and the signed Certificate of Authenticity with the first 100 cases sold. The painting was done by our in-house artist, Salvador Cueto, featuring the 18" Grandfather Briefcase in a grandfatherly setting. The 18" briefcase was designed to resemble the old classic briefcases our grandfathers would have carried. It is truly a piece of functional art. https://saddlebackleather.com/leather-briefcase-hard-sided

This Leather Grandfather Overnight Case is our hardest one to make yet. The design took forever, but it was well worth all of the time and versions. We took this one on a lot of flights and even to Africa. In the airport, leaving Rwanda, the woman at the counter looked at it and said, "Something Something Something Faranga." Faranga means Cash in Kinyirwandan. This thing gets so many compliments

Dave visited Nyamunini Island a.k.a. Bat Island, Napoleon Island, between The Congo and Rwanda on a family business trip to show the Leather Grandfather Backpack Case... or maybe it should be called the Batpack Case. To get to the island, you have to drive to Kibuye on maybe the curviest road in the world south from Gisenyi and then take a boat from there out to the island. The fruit bat population is impressive. Some say 50,000 and so say 5,000,000. I know that just one of the trees I was looking at had about 2000 fruit bats in it and there were so so many trees full of bats.

The 15" Grandfather Briefcase is made from full-grain leather. We don’t shave off any layers to eliminate scars, brands or markings. The inside is lined with pig-skin, which is even tougher than cow skin. Our thread is unbelievably strong and UV resistant German industrial marine-grade polyester thread. It doesn't deteriorate when the sun hits it like nylon thread does. Our custom hardware is 316 stainless steel; it's the metal you want to use when your life depends on it. The leather 15” Grandfather Briefcase takes you back to a time when things were simpler, time moved much slower, and when there was function and quality in products not often found today. The entire Grandfather Collection is built like they used to make them, but better.

This 13" leather case is the second case in the Grandfather Collection. And each of the original 100 bought came with a limited print of an original painting. Each print is signed 1/100, 2/100, 3/100 etc. And each print comes with a formal Certificate of Authenticity. These are paired with each of the first 100 cases that are also numbered 1/100, 2/100, 3/100 etc. I took this 13" Leather Grandfather Case on our family business roadtrip through Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. What a trip. And, the cool thing is that so so many people stared at or complimented me on this leather case. This video was filmed in Kotor, Montenegro. The drone footage was captured by my 12 year old son, Cross.
