Chef's Kiss

First, I would like to thank Robert the service rep! Second, the bag is very well made and beautiful. The colour is just amazing. Deep red pops out beautifully. It reminds me of some of my dad's leather goods he used when he was still around. Inside the bag is very soft, and spacious. Good enough for you to pack maybe 2or3 days worth of clothing for a trip. Can't wait for this to Patina over time.

It’s a statement piece.

Outstanding quality, love the piece. Though the luggage tag I would avoid. The buckle is sharp and has damaged my bag within a week. Need to source a repair method.

Got weekender bag from vonbaer. The handles feel sturdy when the bag is full. That was important for me.

Won me over

I was sceptical at first when I came across their website while looking for a weekend bag. I started by ordering a wallet, which arrived literally the next day, it looked and felt amazing. After that, I went for their weekender bag, and it turned out to be absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t find any other brand online that works with this kind of natural leather, the brown color is perfect.

Christmas gift for hubby

My husband wanted this bag for Christmas. I was a little worried about the quality for the price, but I trusted the other reviews and ordered it. And I wasn’t disappointed. The quality is surprisingly nice. Actually the leather is fairly thick, so the bag feels sturdy. shipping was super fast! No comment on customer service since i didn’t need it, no issues at all so far.

Best bag I have ever seen

I bought this bag a few months ago and can with full confidence say that it is the most beautiful bag I have ever seen. Every time I wear it out people stop to ask me where I got it from. The company management is also incredible as well and the origins behind the brand make you feel that you have purchased the best hidden gem.

This is my first big girl buy. I had it engraved too and even bought the travel tag along with it. I'm proud of myself, I've come a long way.

Good for short trips, amazing quality

I wanted a bag that could handle my 3-5 day business trips and still look the professional part. This Weekender is perfect for that. The leather is premium and the bag feels well made. Not too bulky, not too small, just right. I have a 16-inch laptop, and it fits perfectly in the compartment made for it. I’ve had cheaper bags in the past that didn’t last more than a year. This one is built to last, I can tell. Definitely recommend this if you travel often.

Exceeded expectations

I wasn’t sure at first cuz of the price but after receiving it (love the packaging, btw) and using it on a trip, no regrets. The material is top-notch, plus it’s just the right size for a weekend. Craftsmanship is 10/10.

From the office to the gym, it does it all!

How versatile can one leather travel bag be, right? Well, this bag has proved me wrong. I work in finance, so I need a bag that looks professional. This fits the bill perfectly. It's sophisticated yet casual enough for after-work drinks. Then, on weekends, I use it for gym sessions. These days, I am also heading out to the gym early in the morning before heading to work and this bag still fits the bill cos it is suitable enough to be seen with me even when I am all dressed up for work. And the compartments... they are a game changer. Seriously, how many travel bags come with a special laptop sleeve? Business trips, gym days and even weekends away, it does it all! And, yes, I am aware that I am probably overusing the bag. But yet, the leather remains solid. It still looks new despite frequent use. Best accessory investment I’ve made this in the past few years! I don't do reviews but this time, I just had to.

Beautiful Weekender Bag

This was a birthday gift for my husband. He absolutely loves it. The laptop pocket is perfect. Gorgeous leather bag, meticulously made. Very quick shipping to Canada. I was very impressed. I wouldn’t hesitate recommend Von Baer.

If you need a bag that does it all...

Ive been using this bag for a while now and it’s one of those things you get more attached to the more you use it. It’s perfect for business trips and short vacations, but lately, Ive been using it for my weekly yoga class. I can fit my yoga gear, water bottle, and a change of clothes, and the compartments help me keep everything organized. The bag is quite heavy when fully loaded but the shoulder strap helps balance the weight.

Outstanding quality, service and business.

Right from the start, my questions and requests received the attention they deserved, and the response time was exceptional. What made the experience even better was the opportunity to converse with the owner, whose passion for the business was evident. This was further confirmed when my bag arrived; the quality and packaging beautifully encapsulated it all.

Customer For Life

I purchased this bag for my wife as she was in need of a new travel bag. However, she's not a fan of mass produced, overpriced bags that you pay high dollar for merely because of a name or initials stamped all over the product. Initially, when I ordered the bag, Igor reached out to me with recommendations on font and location for her initials. It was evident that VB were going above and beyond to ensure I was happy with the finished product. Within a couple days the product showed up at our door. At first sight this bag was everything she could have hoped for and more. The leather is supple and soft, the stitching is stout and elegant at the same time, the lining is soft and sturdy, and the zippers are durable YKK zippers. I can tell that this will be a bag that she'll be able to carry for many years to come. Overall, Igor and Albert knocked this out of the park and have customers for life.

Beautiful craftsmanship, amazing quality

This bag is just perfect for my frequent trips abroad. I needed something that could carry my load but still look professional, especially because it's usually the clients or their key representative that usually come to receive me and my team at the airport. The leather feels expensive and I also really appreciate the laptop sleeve. The bag itself looks classic. I'm a bit of a gym bro (well, trying to be) so this bag also serves gym days. It's so versatile! My friend was shocked by the price but after seeing it in person, he immediately said he could see why. Von Baer really outdid themselves with this one. I have the No.1 briefcase, a keyholder, and now this bag. All their products have that distinct element. I highly recommend them!

elegant craftsmanship

When you hold this bag, you can feel the quality. The brass hardware adds a touch of elegance, the gold feet just make so much sense. Been using it for almost a year now, and its aging beautifully. My only regret is not getting it personalized... my next buy!

I'ts such a versatile bag

I didn't set out to buy a gym bag, travel bag or whatever but when I came across the ad for this, I just knew it... I can fit my gym shoes, clothes, towel, and even protein shaker in here with room to spare for even way more stuff. The separate laptop pocket is perfect because I head to the gym straight after work. Of course, it's my go-to for short trips as well, and despite lugging it around for over a year now, it still looks as good as new.

I didn't know my hubby would love it this much.

I got this bag as a gift for my husband and he LOVES it, really really loves it. The leather feels so luxurious, and it's the perfect size for our mostly spontaneous weekend trips. The laptop compartment is a great bonus too. Honestly, worth every penny. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality bag.

Excellent item. Only the shoulder strap could be improved by making it a bit wider.

A bag for life!

Hands down the BEST traveling bag I've ever owned!

Where do I start with this bag? Seriously, I’ve never had a traveling bag that combines style, durability, and functionality this well and I have used quite a number. First off, the leather, oh goodness... the smell when you first get it is hard to describe but I'll try. It’s like a rich, warm scent that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into an Italian leather workshop. I use it for everything now, business trips, holiday getaways with my friends and even staycations with my partner. I am all for enjoying life and leather is part of that enjoyment for me. I should emphasize its size! It’s the perfect carry-on size, saved me during a rushed flight last month. It's one of those bags that does it all so is hard to get enough of.

It makes a stunning gift

My husband is quite the traveller and I wanted to get him something special for his birthday. I found this bag and had it laser engraved with his initials. Honestly, the bag looks even better in person than in the photos. The packaging was lovely, too - came in a dust bag with such care and included was a big gift bag. I appreciated that.
