If you've ever felt unsure about purchasing leather bags online, this detailed guide is here to assist. We'll guide you through every stage of the purchasing process!
Step 1: Identify Your Needs and Style
Firstly, consider what type of leather bag suits your needs in everyday life.

At APOSTL, we’re committed to premium quality and ethically sourced materials. From the versatile Aria, crossbody, to the spacious Apollos leather tote bag, you can be confident that our bags are crafted from A-grade leather, ensuring durability and a refined aesthetic. The beauty of leather is that it looks and feels even better with age — and our beautiful leather handbags are no exception; you'll wear them for years to come.
Step 3: Focus on the Details
Details make a difference. Think about what features are essential for you:
Compartment Pockets: Internal and external pockets are helpful for organisation, especially within women’s leather overnight bags and work-appropriate backpacks and totes.
Hardware and Accents: Zip closures, clasps, and the colour of hardware can impact the overall look of the bag. You might also prefer distinctive designs, like a textured finish, to ensure your new purse stands out from the rest of your collection.
Straps and Handles: Consider the length and adjustability of your bag’s straps for comfort and versatility. For the ultimate flexibility, our premium leather women's leather business bags with an adjustable strap are a great choice.
Step 4: Get the Right Fit
Sizing is key when choosing a leather bag. It's important to consider the dimensions and how they will accommodate your daily needs.
Find the Perfect Size: Check the measurements of the bag. Will it fit your laptop or daily essentials? Explore the options to find the perfect size for your needs.
Comfort and Portability: Consider the weight and how easy it is to carry, especially for larger bags like duffels or totes.
Women's Leather Bags - FAQ
What is the Best Way to Care for Women's Leather Bags? | Care Essentials
When it comes to caring for leather bags, a leather protectant spray is a worthwhile investment. This makes it much easier to keep the bag clean, fresh, and in the same condition as when it arrived.
It’s essential to handle your bag with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils and other residues onto the leather. Simply wipe your garment with a soft cloth every other day or use a leather cleaner once or twice a year for extra care.
If your leather bag or backpack gets wet, gently dab the garment and allow it to air dry. You can also stuff the inside with newspaper to absorb the moisture and help the bag hold its shape.
The most important care essential to remember is to store your leather bag in a space away from heat, humidity, sunlight and dust. You can use the cotton drawstring bag the garment arrives in for storage. Alternatively, a fabric bag or box will suffice.
Does APOSTL Use Real Leather for Our Women’s Bags and Backpacks?
Yes, at APOSTL we use real leather for all of our handcrafted, luxury leather goods, including our wide range of women’s leather bags and backpacks.

How Do We Source the Leather for Leather Bags and Backpacks for Women?
We’re committed to remaining conscious and respectful of our surrounding environments, wildlife and communities.
That’s why we source our leather ethically and sustainably. APOSTL is passionate about weaving mindful practices into every layer of our brand, from design to production and sales.
The premium leather used to craft our bags is a by-product of the meat industry. This means it would be burned or thrown away if not used. To avoid an increase in waste sent to landfills, we take this leather and repurpose it into luxury goods that are made to last.
At APOSTL, we’re dedicated to investing in non-exploitative, planet-friendly systems that improve the lives of our employees and enhance the communities in which we operate. We’re proud to be Pioneers For Change.
