New MacBook backpacks, briefs, and duffles up to $210 off

Pad & Quill creates some of the nicest and well-made leather carriers, MacBook backpacks, and accessories out there. All coming straight from its design and manufacturing house in Minneapolis, USA, the handmade goods deliver serious staying power (I have a backpack from the brand that has been going strong for nearly a decade now – it just keeps looking better and better over time), and it is now relaunching its wonderful Gladstone collection. Consisting of everything from weekender bags and briefs to backpacks and even the re-introduction of its leather padfolio, the brand is now offering up some seriously notable pre-launch discounts so you can secure one at well below the regular price. More details below.

While we did see a brief sale on some old stock of this gear previously, Pad & Quill has now taken to Indiegogo to re-launch some of its most beautiful designs in the Apple gear and EDC carrier category. Delivering that same classic and historical design sensibility with its artisan-focused craftsmanship we have come to know and love, here's some history on the inspiration:

Where did the Gladstone closure originate? Sir Edward Cole submitted a patent design for the closure in 1854 in England and called it "An Improvement in the Frames of Traveling Bags." At Pad & Quill, we think it could also be argued that it's "An improvement in beauty of all leather traveling bags."

Each of the re-issued bags are available in Galloper Black, Chestnut, and Whiskey leather colorways with the same discreet signature from the artisan that crafted them. You’ll also find 25-year leather warranties across the board here as well as sailcloth stitching and deep discounts if you secure one during the campaign.

Gladstone Leather Laptop Backpack $439 (Reg. $595)

Gladstone Leather Briefcase $429 (Reg. $595)

Gladstone Leather Duffle Weekender Bag $485 (Reg. $695)

Gladstone Slim Leather Briefcase $390 (Reg. $549)

Leather Business Padfolio $125 (Reg. $219)

All of the Pad & Quill gear detailed above will begin shipping in September of 2023, but it might be a good idea to secure one now to score the deep deals on offer here if you’re interested. Pad & Quill is a more than trustworthy brand with a number of successful crowdfund campaigns behind it now – we have the utmost confidence it will deliver as intended.

Our campaign's perks are final sample leather bags and padfolios. We own all the dies, and cutting tools and have done production photo samples of all items…This is, by far, the best value you’ll ever see on these handmade leather goods. We look forward to shipping them by September of 2023.
