"Ease of ordering ... hands-on customer care ... personable company ... amazing quality product ... beautiful design and fills all the functions expected. I am more than happy with my purchase and to spread the word about the company!" - John S., Theodore Leather Briefcase customer
Customer service is as stated, MYTHICAL. Made inquiries through text chat to expedite delivery of a birthday gift & Lori made it happen! The honesty at this company & the respect for the customer is real at Mission Mercantile. Thank you! - Catherine Y.
This is far & away the best I've ever owned. The combination of quality, style & function are unmatched. Bottom line: This is an heirloom quality piece that is punching wayyyy above its price. I've had much more expensive bags that aren't half as good as this one. If you're on the fence, get it. - Derrick M.
