Alaskan Leather CompanyReviews of alaskanleathercompany.com

Bag is great. Delivery was very expeditious. Comes with a shoulder strap that make it perfect for my single-day trips. Bag gas a lot of good pockets. Plenty of room for Bose headsets, sunshades, IPad, flight documents, snacks, and much more. Initially had an issue with one of the zippers (would fully grip the "track"). Customer service sent a video with a simple fix with pliers to adjust the zipper. Video wasn't the best but there were better ones on YouTube. Zipper was easily fixed by me and the bag is awesome. I am really happy with the bag and the quality I got for the price.

Product was good, the only negative thing was when I received it it was rolled up. Not ideal for looking good with a brand new bag. It had rolled edges that made it look funny when I told people it was new. The leather still looks funny today and it’s been a few weeks.

Messenger/laptop bag is really nice and leather is very good. Delivery was as fast as advertised. Didn't give 5 stars only because of the packaging: it was so tight that it ended up squeezing the bag that now looks a little smooshed on one side. But I trust it will smooth out with use.

Ordering from the website was easy. Great product but it was packed so that it was terribly creased when my wife opened it.

Don’t normally write reviews but felt it was appropriate in this case. Ordered the Flint Cognac Brown backpack. First, I want to start off by saying, the leather seems to be very high quality. It looks and feels amazing! Craftsmanship is high. Now, the couple of things that brought down the review. I did apply a bit of high quality leather conditioner to it. I tested a small spot on the inside strap, and all appeared fine at first. Applied more to the entire backpack and noticed that a large amount of the color / stain started to rub off…. The backpack still looks good, but there are a couple spots where the stain looks smeared now :/ I just hope the stain doesn’t rub off too much just from daily use. The website says free 3-6 day delivery worldwide. Just want to point out, the backpack must not have been in stock because it did take almost 3 weeks to get delivered. Before I bought, I didn’t do much research into the company. I honestly figured it would be shipping from Alaska, so when I got the shipping label and saw it was coming from Pakistan, I was a little weary. I just had no idea what to expect tbh. I know the US gets plenty of goods from Pakistan, it just made me rethink the $170 USD price tag a bit more considering the USD is so so strong against the Pakistan Rupee. I read the About Story on how the founder came up with the idea after buying. Much respect though. Cool story. All of that stuff wasn’t that big of a deal to me tbh, but the thing that annoys me a bit more is that the straps are just wayyy too long. They are adjustable up to a point, but even when they are adjusted to the shortest length, the backpack still sags lower than I would personally prefer. Still an okay height, but not very versatile. I would prolly have returned only for this reason if the company was actually based in Alaska. I don’t want to deal with an international return. The strap thing definitely needs to get figured out! Just cut them shorter or use a different adjustment buckle. If you happen to find or know of a clasp / buckle that looks good that could be put around the straps to tighten it, I would bump this up to 5 stars! Would order again, IF that got fixed. The strap fix alone would easily bring the review up. The unexpected international purchase combined with the delayed shipping are really the reason for another star off. Man it really is a beautiful bag though.

Overall satisfied for the price. It does have a rather strong smell of dye though, but perhaps that will fade with time.

The service was outstanding! I like the bag I bought-it's well made- but the leather was a strange smell. I was looking for an old oiled saddle smell and feel. It seemed a slight bit chemically.

Beautiful bag, very similar to the pictures on the webpage. Unfortunately, the bag wasn’t packaged appropriately, no filling was added, so the bag didn’t look as gratifying as one would expect from a new good quality leather bag.
