The classic backpack worked perfectly for fitting under the seat on the aeroplane. Very comfortable to wear and nice looking!
The bag is perfect my partner loves it and uses it as his carry on luggage big enough to fit all his stuff but small enough to get away with the airline rules!
I had been looking for a weekend bag for a while and came across Mahi by accident. I liked the Colombus and decided to take a chance. When it arrived (very quickly I will add) I was very pleased with my purchase. The bag was better than advertised and quality far superior to other bags that were more expensive. It is very useful for weekend trips and even suitable for air travel as a carry on. I highly recommend it and will look to Mahi for future purchased when I want quality at a very competitive price. Thanks!
The Branded Leather Backpack served me well on my first extended trip since COVID. I used it as a carry on and was able to stuff it with lots of items I could not fit in my suitcase! The backpack is well-made and the leather is good quality. Also the customer service was polite and helpful.
I used this bag on a four day trip to Austin, TX. The duffel bag was able to hold three nights worth of clothing easily with packing cubes. I am very satisfied. For longer trips that require about a weeks worth of clothing, I would have to opt for the larger duffels. The regular duffel easily met carry on specifications for both United and Delta. If I had to name one con about this bag it would have to be the shoulder padding. There were times while walking in and out of the airport, my shoulder would feel stress from the weight of the bag.
This bag fit my needs perfectly, I am using it as a modest-sized carry on bag. Not too big, not too small, just right! The quality is wonderful as it always has been. This is my second Mahi bag
This bag is looks great in person. Catches lots of attention due to the leather quality. Perfect for travel, gym or daily carry on.
Was able to use my bag immediately on an out of town flight. Absolutely amazed. Didn't need to check in any bags, carried my mahi bag on the plan, stored perfectly under the seat. Complimented many times that weekend. Absolutely would buy again. Customer for life.
I just got back from a quick domestic flight, I have a hangover so I’ll make this quick. I used the bag, it’s stylish and strong. Quality is very high.
Got this bag for a week long trip to London and Paris from U.S. It was a strictly carry-on vacation. The bag held 5 men's outfits, and sometimes I stuffed in some shoes and a small fold-up umbrella. It's simple, stylish, and so far, tough. For this vacation, I had decided not to attach the extra included shoulder strap. Still, I was able to use the main handles, quite comfortably, as a shoulder strap while hurrying through airports to catch connecting flights. I've only had it of a couple weeks, but if the zippers and pulls continue to hold up for years down the road, I'll have no problem modifying this to a 5 star review.
I was looking for a stylish duffel-like bag for business travel. Something I could place in upper airplane bin without worry. This bag exceeded my expectation. Absolutely beautiful bag at a reasonable price!

For men, the structured duffle and backpack styles in this collection — also known as leather cabin bags or leather carry-ons — bring a cleaner, more tailored look to cabin travel than typical synthetic luggage. Every bag is handcrafted from full grain leather with brass fittings and YKK zippers, and dimensions for each style are listed on the individual product page.
The perfect material for carry-on bags
Our Leather
Full grain leather is the ideal material for a carry-on bag — durable enough to withstand the bumps and handling of travel, structured enough to hold its shape through repeated trips, and the only material that develops a rich patina with every journey. Its dense natural fibres resist abrasion and surface moisture naturally.
Every MAHI leather carry-on bag is available in full grain leather, with brass fittings and YKK zippers chosen for strength, character, and longevity. Built to last in a way synthetic carry-on luggage simply can't match.
Personalization & Gifting
Custom Leather Carry-On Bags
Every MAHI leather carry-on bag can be personalized with initials, a name, or a custom logo — using precision laser engraving or cotton embroidery. Whether you're creating a personalized leather carry-on bag for yourself or sourcing gifts for a team or corporate event, each piece is made to order and unique.
For bulk and corporate orders, we work with businesses and travel-focused brands to create custom branded leather carry-on bags at scale. Competitive pricing on orders of 10 or more. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.
FAQs - Leather Carry-On Bags
-
Most of our carry-on styles are sized to fit within common cabin baggage allowances, but airline policies vary and change. We recommend checking your airline's current size and weight restrictions before travelling, particularly for budget and regional carriers which often have stricter limits than the international standard. Exact dimensions for each bag are listed on the individual product page.
-
For most short trips, the Cortes (38L) or Columbus Deep Weekender (39L) offer the best balance of capacity and compact size for cabin travel. For men who prefer to carry hands-free, the Classic Backpack 3.0 works well as a leather carry-on backpack, distributing weight evenly for longer walks through airports and stations.
-
Yes — full grain leather is durable, holds its structure well under the bumps and handling of travel, and resists surface moisture better than canvas alternatives. Unlike synthetic carry-on bags, leather develops character with use rather than showing wear.
-
Yes — a backpack is one of the most practical carry-on options for travel. While it generally holds less than a holdall or duffle, a backpack distributes weight across your shoulders rather than one side of the body, and most styles include exterior or interior pockets for items you want readily available, like your phone, wallet, and passport.
-
Yes. Every MAHI leather carry-on bag can be personalized with initials, a name, or a custom logo using precision laser engraving or cotton embroidery. Personalized orders are non-returnable but covered by the one-year warranty.
-
All MAHI leather carry-on bags are handmade to order and ship worldwide, fully tracked and insured. USA and Canada: 4-5 business days. UK and Europe: 4-5 business days. Australasia: 5-7 business days. Duties and tariffs are covered — the price at checkout is the final price.
