Raven Buchanan

I got the raven Buchanan with zipper and it's a gorgeous bag. It has outside and inside pockets. I didn't even fill it halfway with my daily carry items. It has plenty of room. I don't carry a laptop, but it would fit that and more. Raven is really floppy. I think this bag would look great in a more structured leather too. It is briefcase sized.

Beautiful Briefcase

This is the perfect carry for my laptop and a note book or ipad. This bag is so sturdy and really gives a professional look. The cranberry leather is so beautiful in color, texture, and feel. I selected a black crossbody strap to go with the bag and have received a ton of compliments from my coworkers. I also optrd for the strap closure with the zipper and i am so glad i did! Thr strap closure helps when ive over stuffed my bag and i dont want things randomly falling out. I xant wait to make my next purchase!

Amazing

This is an amazing bag. Gave as a gift for my wife who wanted something nice for work and she loves this so much and uses it for more. The color is awesome and thank you GFG for the attention to detail in making a simply fabulous product.

Quality build and quality feel. No denying it’s made to last and look good. A work bag that will be unique to me, I won’t have to worry if it will last, and if it rains the leather can hold up. I ordered mocha and it looks professional while still being able to be used in casual scenarios.

The Perfect Briefcase/Tote Bag

This Buchanan Briefcase/Tote Bag is a work of art!!! I ordered mine in black with the zipper closure option. Once again, I am blown away by the quality of the leather, the impeccable workmanship, and the design. It is roomy enough to hold everything I carry without feeling overly heavy. I especially love the front pockets, the short "grab-n-go" handless, as well as the sturdy and comfortable shoulder strap. It is a beauty and, no doubt, I will be carrying this one for a lifetime. Thank you very much to GFG and to Neil, who personally crafted my Buchanan Tote. I am one happy customer. Oh, and did I mention American-Made?!?!? That is the icing on the cake. So thankful to have found GFG.

Absolutely gorgeous- makes going back to work bearable

This bag is incredible. Purchased for a work bag and it is perfect. The leather is thick and lush, the size is big enough but not overwhelming. Two thumbs up

Buchanan Tote - A GREAT Briefcase!

One of THE Best briefcases I have ever had and will ever have! It is simple and amazingly crafted. I purchased it mid 2020 for work and it was well worth the wait which in fact was a pretty fast turn around time. It didn’t need any customizations at all. It worked out great! Thanks GFG crew. Simply the BEST leather on the market.

Excellent product

This is the third Go Forth product my boyfriend and I have purchased for ourselves or as a gift. Everything is so well made (while also being stylish). Another review mentioned the pictures for this bag do not do it justice, and I agree. The bag is more beautiful in person, and I am excited to give it as a gift!

Good deal

Just purchased a Buchanan tote bag at a shop in Santana Row, San Jose, California. Planning to use it for work and traveling. Leather feels soft and looking forward to using it. Feels good to buy quality hand made product made in the USA.

Love this bag!

Great quality leather and impeccable workmanship! Can't wait to get out and use it. Stay safe all!

On initial inspection, I'm very impressed with the quality. Shipping and delivery were sooner than expected. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the zipper completely disengaging and having to realign it to close the bag.
A little thing and allows the bag to more full open, for access.
Plus and minus to everything.
Overall, excellent bag.

Buchanan Tote

I recently purchased this tote bag. It's very beautiful and functional. I upgraded the strap to the wider, cushioned strap and am more than satisfied with that choice. I tend to carry a lot and my bags are always heavy. I also had feet added to the bottom. Four feet were added out toward the ends of the bag (two on each end) but none in the middle section. I was surprised by this because of the length of the bag. There is no foot support toward the middle so that area of the tote rests on the ground. Other than that I love this bag and would encourage others to purchase it. Very well crafted and of course smells divine!

Beautiful, amazing bag

I honestly would not have purchased this bag without seeing it in person. The picture does this bag zero justice. I am a nurse practitioner that has been through so many bags that so quickly wear out. I have pictured this beautiful bag in my mind and saw it one day with another nurse practitioner and could not believe my vision was real! I was supposed to see this bag in person because it is so wonderfully made I could not be more satisfied. I love this thing so much I should start selling them to my other NP friends and make a profit. You will not be disappointed. 10+stars.

Stunning Tote, Rockstar Design

What a rockstar bag design! I got mine in Mocha. It’s so easy and comfortable to carry. I am obsessed with the short top handles for grab and go. I have gotten so many compliments in the short time I’ve had this beauty. You can see the heart and soul they put into their craftsmanship, plus they give 10% to charity! Seriously you guys, the quality is impeccable. Thank you to Bailey B. for making mine! This bag is made to last a lifetime and it’s just so.stinking.pretty! I know it’s just going to get better with age. I have an overview and unboxing video on lifelovesparkle.com if you’d like to see more on the bag plus the custom additions I got. Thank you so much Go Forth Goods! You guys are the best!

Great for lawyers.... women

I purchased this in the black color. The bag is perfect for easy accessing files, laptop, pens/pencils, and what-nots --due to the large top opening. If you're a woman and are in search of a non-masculine briefcase/tote for work (lawyers, businesswomen, doctors) I would highly recommend this bag. I will be purchasing the bag in the saddle color very soon for casual wear. Perfect bag.

Stunning!

When I opened the box, my jaw fell to the floor! This bag is gorgeous! The craftsmanship is superb. It smells amazing! The communication was smooth and quick replies. This bag is exactly what I was hoping for and I can’t wait to put it to good use! Thank you Go Forth Goods! I plan to buy more in the near future:)
