11 Best Women’s Leather Shoulder Bags, Genuine, Soft Leather

11 Best Women’s Leather Shoulder Bags, Genuine, Soft Leather

A curated list of the best women’s leather shoulder bags, featuring genuine leather and soft leather brown and black women’s bags, with modern and cheap options.

When you find the right everyday bag…it feels oh so good. So, to help you in your search, we hand-curated a collection of a few of the best everyday, leather shoulder bags and totes. (As you’ve probably already noticed, this collection is curated for women’s fashion, but a men’s version will be coming shortly). Oddly enough, when we went to search for “best women’s leather shoulder bags” into Google, we couldn’t find any articles that provided a curated and reviewed list. Granted, perhaps we didn’t search the right terms, but we thought it’d be helpful to make a list of our own. There’s a number of things to consider when looking for a high quality shoulder bag — and each can be categorized under the headings of style and function. In terms of the former, we tried to select bags with a modern and minimalist design aesthetic that are suitable for casual and business attire. And, in terms of the latter, we tried to look for everyday bags that feature adjustable shoulder straps, organized inner compartments, and ones that are made with durable materials that are designed to last. It’s helpful to note that several of the bags below are crafted with genuine, real leather, but may not be 100% genuine leather. So, if you’re looking for a 100% genuine leather bag, be sure to closely read the details on the seller’s page.

Medium Large, Women’s Leather Tote, Shoulder Bag, Crafted from Genuine Leather Cowhide & Manmade Leather, Designed with Organized, Inner Compartments, in Brown.
By: Iswee

Editor's Note

We’re big fans of this tote, shoulder bag combo. Crafted of real, genuine leather and man-made leather material, this minimalist design tote is large enough to easily carry a laptop and tablet. It features two main compartment pocket pockets, one inner zipper pocket and a exterior zipper pocket for quick and easy access. If you’re looking specifically for a 100% genuine leather bag, this one may not be for you, but, in our opinion, given the price, quality and design, we think this is good purchase. Also, if you don’t like the brown color, this tote also comes in blue, black and red.

Medium Large, Modern Women’s Handbag, Tote Shoulder Bag, Made of Genuine Leather, in Redish Brown.
By: Covelin

Editor's Note

This shoulder bag is high on our list for a modern leather bag. It’s designed to last, crafted with cowhide leather – with a waxed oil finish – and a durable polyester lining. In terms of storage, this shoulder bag features two large inner compartments and an exterior pocket for smaller devices and everyday carry. After doing some digging, it seems this bag may not be 100% genuine leather, but rather a bonded and genuine leather mix. Click through to read more.

Large, Modern Women’s Tote, Shoulder Bag, Made of Waterproof Synthetic Leather Material, in Black.
By: SQLP

Editor's Note

Given the relatively lower price of this product, note that it’s not made of genuine leather, but rather a synthetic leather material. Of course, if you’re simply looking for a fashionable and functional shoulder bag, this is still a good buy in our opinion. We especially like the removable and adjustable shoulder straps and the reinforced carrying clip and hole.
