With a history of leather working in his family, José Martinez, along with his sons Kevin, Levi, and Martin opened Orox Leather Company in Portland Oregon’s Old Town District in 2012 to offer his hand-crafted leather goods, from bags, to sandals, to wallets and satchels (like the one we’re giving away here) to the people of the Pacific Northwest.
Martinez cut his teeth in the leather working world at the feet of his father Don Pepe and his grandfather, Felipe Martinez, whose first huaraches sandals were made for his local Oaxacan baseball team, Casa Audelo, in 1933 in Mexico. Since that time, successive generations of the Martinez clan have followed in their fathers’ footsteps. Today, Orox Leather Company makes its goods from only the highest-quality, US-sourced leather, denim, and canvas, along with long-lasting and unique sand-casted copper hardware, made by Clendinen Brothers in Baltimore, Maryland.
And now is your chance to get this brown leather Courier satchel from Orox for free–a whopping $380 value. The base of the bag is made of durable and waterproof waxed canvas, with the upper closure portion made of scratch-proof, oil-tanned leather from Redwing, Minnesota, all supported by a hardy English Bridal leather strap from St. Louis, Missouri. Measuring up at a respectable 13” x 13” x 3.5”, this courier satchel is big enough to fit a laptop, a couple of file folders, a wallet, glasses case, and any other everyday carry item you might need throughout your workweek. Overall, this is the perfect bag for the everyday commute.
