Innovative customer service Overall the customer service group and Liz, in particular, were prompt, accurate and innovative. I was searching for an item that was not in their on line catalog. After some email correspondence Liz was able to come with a solution that suited me very well. I can recommend the Real Leather Company without any reservations.

Retro Bag and replacement strap support I ordered “The Retro,” Messenger bag two years ago and absolutely love it and use it as my daily work bag. Recently, after overloading the bag, the metal clasp on the strap broke. When I reached out to see about ordering a new strap, Liz was able to help me get a replacement strap in the original color of my bag which isn’t even being run anymore. I was blown away at the prompt and excellent support I received. I will definitely continue shopping here in the future.

Refused to process return Refused to process return. Would not respond to emails. I sent the bag back to their warehouse. They confirmed receipt for me but after that failed to respond to any email. This is a scam.

Broke in a month, didn’t quite look as advertised but that’s honestly fair because of how leather is So it definitely didn’t look as advertised, it was extremely delayed getting here, and while walking down the street, one of the buckles broke! Then, as I was googling a cobbler or other skilled local who could help fix my bag which I loved so dearly, the second buckle broke! Not caught on anything, just flat broke off. The staples which connect the loop to the buckles just bent out of place. They both broke in the exact same way. Honestly, I’d love a replacement or a fix, because as painful as this experience was, the bag was beautiful, and I could tell the intent was to make something of value, it just didn’t work out because of(I think) one poor design decision. I respect the artistry, and while my review on the website wasn’t as kindly worded, the fact of the matter still stands, it broke almost immediately, less than a month of use (it was only gifted to me when I visited for christmas, which occurred around new years, and I only got around to transferring my stuff over two or three weeks after). By the way, I know this review is late, I’m a busy person, so I didn’t think to leave one until recently. Thanks for your time.

The post office lost the bag I ordered The post office lost the bag I ordered. Danelle from customer service was patient with me. Considering how angry and frustrated I was, she was a trooper in helping me resolve the situation. After a month of trying to find the bag with no resolution, the Real Leather Company replaced the lost bag. This is the second time I have ordered the bag as a gift for my son, and he loves it.
