This bag reeks quality: the thick, supple, pebbled leather; the copper rivets; the careful attention to detail, with every stitch perfect (I checked). I love that this bag isn't bristling with a million geeky exterior pockets, I love that it doesn't have a bevy of buckles that are a pain to open and close. I love that it lacks a cheap plastic sleeve sewn onto the front to display your contact info. I love that the heavy fabric sewn into the bag's interior is a dark camel color (that is, neutral) rather than the absolutely hideous plaids sewn into some bags costing twice as much, spoiling their looks. I love the size of this bag: larger than a weekender, but not so large that it needs to be checked on a plane (unless you pack it tight). I love the versatility of this bag. It goes with chinos, jeans, or an elegant Italian suit. The heavy duty YKK zipper opens with barely a tug. The sturdy, stitched, removable shoulder strap is integral to the bag's design, rather than an afterthought (a surprising number of expensive leather duffles are paired with canvas shoulder straps). While this isn't an inexpensive bag, it's a value.

Love the bag!
I bought this bag for my husband for Christmas. We just got home from our first trip with him using the bag. The bag is substantial, well made, classic and beautiful. The question is…what style of bag do I want? We definitely will be adding to our collection.

Wow
Ive been looking for a leather bag for quite some time. When I ran across your duffel, I immediately ordered it. I can be a difficult customer, but I am more than satisifed with the quality of this bag. Allbof the $200 to $300 bags I looked at appeared nice, but were clearly inferior. Cheaper leather, stitching, and zippers. I will be ordering the backpack, briefcase, toiletry, and passport cover.

We established Mission Mercantile based on the belief that excellence is not disposable, that manufacturing techniques centuries old need not be obsolete, and that true value rests far beyond the instant gratification of how well a product looks and functions today. The true measure of quality in our committed view is how well a product looks, functions and becomes part of you … far into tomorrow.
We proudly produce all our hand-crafted wares in one of our wholly-owned North American factories that are located in Texas and the world-renowned leather region of Mexico. Our presence in both locations ensures we always have access to the absolute best materials and local expert artisans who are all committed to our Handshake Promise Guarantee. We source leather, canvas and materials known for their quality and durability from the US, Mexico, Italy and other worldwide sources.
So while most of the world is preoccupied with looking for shortcuts in an ever accelerating cycle of faster, easier, more, and repeat, our passion for distinctive leather goods and the skilled, patient craftsmanship of another era sent us looking for a longcut approach to Mission Mercantile’s materials and construction.
We use exclusively the highest quality, most durable and distinctive leather available anywhere: our leather is carefully selected by discerning eyes, hide by hide.
Your word was your bond — and a handshake was more binding than a contract. Mission Mercantile believes in that simple, reliable right-mindedness.
We are delighted to offer you free lifetime repair or replacement for issues with materials or craftsmanship. Unfortunate damage due to normal wear and tear or misuse can be repaired for a reasonable charge. Just reach out to our Shopkeeper@missionmercantile.com and we'll take great care of you.
Your purchase just not the right fit for you, so you need to return it? No worries, just send it back for a refund or exchange within 30 days from your purchase.
In this present era of faster, easier, more, and repeat, the “selfie” has surpassed self-reliance and the largely surface-deep, disposable culture that prevails leaves handshake integrity a rare commodity. In many quarters, it is effectively extinct.
But for Mission Mercantile today, tomorrow, and forever, handshake integrity is our standard. It’s in our attention to detail. It’s in our uncompromising quality control. It’s in our signature 100% full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather. It’s in every antique brass rivet. It’s in our return policy. It’s in our customer service. It’s in our pledge to always make it right.
Call it a hands-forward, hands-on commitment to excellence. Satisfaction unconditionally guaranteed.
We stand behind our products 100 percent. That's our Handshake Promise. If it’s just not the right fit for you, send it back for a refund or exchange within 30 days from your purchase.
Click hereto learn more about our Return Policy. Within 30 days of purchase you may exchange or return your product(s) purchased directly from Mission Mercantile. For all year-end holiday purchases, the return period is extended until the end of the following January. We'll send you a Return Authorization for your product(s). Due to their generous final sale discount, Last Chance clearance products are non-returnable. If the product has been damaged or altered, which includes personalization, from its original condition, we won't be able to refund or exchange your purchase.

Happy Husband!
Purchased all three for my husbands birthday and he is a man with discerning tastes when it comes to his leather goods. He was thrilled!
The Theodore Leather Duffle is created with our Espresso finish hand-selected, full grain pebbled chrome tanned leather from US steerhide. It is exquisitely appointed with chocolate full-grain chrome tanned leather accents.
Thick, supple, full-grain leather with antique brass metal hardware. Spacious interior with four leather bound pockets and one zippered pocket. Exterior pocket for passport or phone. Leather shoulder strap with padded shoulder pad. Triple-layered leather on bottom corners and solid copper rivets at all stress points for super-durability. Meets most airline carry-on limitations.

This bag reeks quality: the thick, supple, pebbled leather; the copper rivets; the careful attention to detail, with every stitch perfect (I checked). I love that this bag isn't bristling with a million geeky exterior pockets, I love that it doesn't have a bevy of buckles that are a pain to open and close. I love that it lacks a cheap plastic sleeve sewn onto the front to display your contact info. I love that the heavy fabric sewn into the bag's interior is a dark camel color (that is, neutral) rather than the absolutely hideous plaids sewn into some bags costing twice as much, spoiling their looks. I love the size of this bag: larger than a weekender, but not so large that it needs to be checked on a plane (unless you pack it tight). I love the versatility of this bag. It goes with chinos, jeans, or an elegant Italian suit. The heavy duty YKK zipper opens with barely a tug. The sturdy, stitched, removable shoulder strap is integral to the bag's design, rather than an afterthought (a surprising number of expensive leather duffles are paired with canvas shoulder straps). While this isn't an inexpensive bag, it's a value.

Love the bag!
I bought this bag for my husband for Christmas. We just got home from our first trip with him using the bag. The bag is substantial, well made, classic and beautiful. The question is…what style of bag do I want? We definitely will be adding to our collection.

Beautiful Roomy Leather Duffle
This beautifully crafted leather bag has it all! The leather is state of the art, it has space to carry everything you need and you know all of your personal belongs are safe! My husband loves his and is so proud of it!

Wow
Ive been looking for a leather bag for quite some time. When I ran across your duffel, I immediately ordered it. I can be a difficult customer, but I am more than satisifed with the quality of this bag. Allbof the $200 to $300 bags I looked at appeared nice, but were clearly inferior. Cheaper leather, stitching, and zippers. I will be ordering the backpack, briefcase, toiletry, and passport cover.

It's THE one
This is the style bag I had been searching for as a gift for my guy. The classic look, rugged but finished construction, and high quality leather makes this one a keeper! The guy is a keeper too, so this gift made sense! *wink*

When we feature a ‘traditional retail’ price on our product pages, it represents the estimated price that other retailers charge for a similar-quality product that typically aren't made in their own shop.
Every Mission Mercantile product is handcrafted in our own shop, and our ‘traditional retail’ price is not reflective of our own pricing, but rather the price you should expect to pay for brands of similar quality to Mission Mercantile.
We research prices across the industry to ensure these 'traditional retail' prices represent realistic competitor pricing, but we encourage our customers to conduct their own individual research.
