Esquire
Esquire is a bag brand that we handle in leather. For now we do not have enough written references on its origin, founder, or founding year, so we have chosen not to guess. This page is kept short on purpose and only includes what we can stand behind. What we can share is how we generally check secondhand leather bags: the condition of the material, the stitching, the metal hardware, and the inside of the bag. Every item in our shop comes with photos and a condition description, so you can judge for yourself before buying. If you have a question about a specific bag, please contact us.

What we check before listing
We check the leather surface for scratches, fine cracks, stains, and peeling areas, especially at the corners, folds, and straps. The stitching is looked at one stitch at a time: it should be tight and straight, with no loose threads where the straps join. Zippers, buttons, buckles, and other metal parts are opened and closed, then checked for rust or flaking plating. The inside of the bag is checked for damp smells, stains, and torn lining. We also look at how neat the brand label or stamp is, but that is our observation, not a guarantee of authenticity.
Caring for it
Clean the leather with a soft cloth, either dry or slightly damp, then air it in a shaded place. Avoid too much water, direct heat, and damp places. Apply leather care product sparingly, and test it first on a hidden area. When storing the bag, stuff it with paper to keep its shape and keep it in a breathable cloth cover, not a sealed plastic bag.
FAQ
What do you know about the history of Esquire?
We do not have enough reference sources, so we have not written its history. We would rather be honest than guess the year or origin of the brand.
Are the Esquire bags here made of leather?
Yes, the Esquire bags we handle are made of leather. We list the condition and material details of each bag on its item page.
How do I judge the condition of a secondhand leather bag from photos?
Look at the corners, straps, folds, and the inside of the bag. These are usually the parts that wear out fastest. If needed, ask us for additional photos.
Is there a guarantee of authenticity?
We check carefully based on general features of the bag, such as stitching, metal hardware, label, and material. That is the result of our observation, not an absolute guarantee.
