My good friend Joanne gifted me one of this companies backpacks. Not only is this bag gorgeous, IT HOLDS EVERYTHING! In the most convenient ways - when i told my daughter how thrilled i was to have a bag that was comprised of individual pockets, she commented that that is every mother’s idea of a great bag! I have seen other bags by this co. from my friend who is a long-time customer and they are beautiful & high quality!

Just had to tell you how much I love the small backpack I bought a month or so ago! It is just great. For a small bag, it holds a lot. I love the secure pockets against your back, a good place for wallet and keys. Easy access to the backpack itself when off one shoulder. It holds my water bottle easily in the side pocket and the padded shoulder straps are very comfortable. Easy to organize with all the pockets. Just fantastic!!I have two of your handbags that look like new so I am sure this will wear every bit as well!!

I bought my first bag from Maple Leather/Great Bags at the Philadelphia Folk Festival over 12 years ago and was so impressed with the quality and designs (so many pattern choices and pockets) that I've never stopped. I have purchased over 20 Great Bags over the years, one for every occasion/season, and have given some as gifts. Great Bags continues to present customers with an ever widening array of new attractive and functionally innovative bags that reflect current fashion trends - all reasonably priced. I highly recommend Great Bags!!

I purchased my GreatBag in a boutique store in Washington state. Though I really did not need another purse, I could not resist it because of the style and all the convenient pockets made in a light weight, durable,and colorful fabric. Several years later I found them online, and ordered another large one and a small one in pastel colors. Recently I ordered a medium bag and a small bag. When I received them I did not think the fabric on one of therm was the correct one. I contacted Lisa, and she explained to me how depending on where the fabric is cut from a bolt of fabric, it can look different. She offered to replace it if they could get the exact piece of fabric that I liked. They were able to do this, and paid for returning my bag and sending my new one. I love my new bag, and I get lots of complements on all of their bags. I will remain a loyal customer!

Lisa’s bags are fantastic. Lightweight, but can carry a ton of stuff. I have bought different sizes and love each and every one of them. I have friends who have since taken my lead and bought more from GreatBags. I heartily recommend these bags to anyone looking for a lightweight bag, but fun to look at also. So glad that I found their website. You will not be sorry.

I made my first purchase from Greatbags at show at the Cobb Galleria in Georgia years ago. Whenever the company has a booth near me, I stop by and always make a purchase. Now I’ve made several purchases from the website and don’t have to wait for a local show. I love you he quality, durability and styles!! I’m a loyal fan and follower!!

The back-entry backpack purse (#727) has changed my life. I bought the first one in 2004 and have ordered two more since then. Each one has lasted about 7 years. The back-entry pocket keeps my wallet secure against my back. My sunglasses case, cell phone, and pens fit perfectly in the outside pockets. My electronic keys hang inside the purse, and my house keys hang from the outside loop. I can wear the purse on my back or over my shoulder. The fabric and zipper are super-durable. I just ordered a lighter-color one for summer, and I already have a black one for winter. It is truly a great purse, well made.

I purchased my first 2 bags three years ago. I’m still using the large bag as a work bag and it looks good as new! I had a problem with my most recent purchase and the company took care of it right away. Excellent customer service. Great product! Thank you!

My favorite Maple Leather/Great Bags backpack was purchased in 1995 & has been used nearly every day. With the exception of a few zipper replacements this bag is still in fantastic condition and has many more adventures in her future! With the addition of my newest bag I’ve got a total now 4 of their bags. They’re comfortable, beautiful, hold a ton, and simply last forever. Money very, very well spent. Nowhere else can you purchase a bag that will last more than 30 years and still get compliments!

I found Maple Leather & GreatBags via a web search for “fanny packs made in the USA,” and the quality of their small fanny pack exceeds my expectations.The tan leather is soft and supple with handsome grain, the color looks great, the stitching is nice and even, and I particularly like the ripstop nylon lining.If “Made in America” is important for your own everyday carry, Maple Leather & GreatBags is highly recommended.

I bought my first Great Bag at the Lincoln Center Art Show in NYC around 2006. Now, in 2020, i own 20!! My friends and I attend the Craft Show in Atlanta every year (except this year because of Covid 19) and I have introduced them to Great Bags for which they constantly thank me. I have also bought them for my 2 daughters. People have approached me in Israel, Oregon, Maine and more, to comment on my bag, or say they also have a Great Bag....it's like a mini-club!! They are the best bags to travel with or just use every day, which i do. I cannot think of a single criticism. In addition, the owners of the company are great folks as well, and I call them friends. They are good cooks and share their recipes too!!

The small fabric backpack is the perfect pandemic purse! I have separate compartments for masks and for hand sanitizer. Lisa was great about taking my order for one of the custom materials. The backpack is light and very comfortable to wear, and now that I am taking frequent walks I especially appreciate it.

GreatBags makes the best bags I've ever owned. I love the Fabric & Nylon bags. They're lightweight, have plenty of pockets inside and out, can be washed, last a long time, and are pretty. My favorite is the large Messenger bag, which is big enough to hold a tablet along with all my usual stuff, fits a small folded umbrella in an outside pocket, and can be worn cross-body. I also have some bags custom-made for slight variations on standard fabrics and styles. Fast turn-around time and excellent, personal customer service!

I've lost count of how many bags I've bought either at the Baltimore Craft Shows or ordered...maybe 4, maybe 5. They are fantastic for everything you could possibly need a bag for from the small phone bag to the backpack. The workmanship and quality are exceptional. Selection of material is really nice. Besides, the recipes are great fun and delicious and Seymour isn't a half bad artist!! I've never gone wrong with a purchase from Great Bags!

GreatBags, also known as Maple Leather Co, recently sent me a fantastic custom designed extra large butter soft leather waist bag.I was very pleased with the great personal customer service that insured that I would receive the correct size for my needs and body size.. The leather belt and croc leather front gave the bag a classy look. Thank you for the high quality bag!
