Groomsmen Gifts in Ireland: Leather Bags They'll Actually Use

Brown full-grain leather messenger briefcase, a groomsmen gift

Most groomsmen gifts are used on the day and then forgotten. If you'd rather give something your groomsmen will actually carry, a full-grain leather bag is a practical choice that lasts for years.

Groomsmen gift ideas by type

Matching or different?

Giving every groomsman the same bag looks great in photos. Giving each one a bag that suits how he lives is more personal. With no logo on the outside, both approaches look clean.

The best man's gift

Many grooms give the best man something a step up from the other groomsmen. A leather weekender for the best man and work bags for the rest is a simple way to do it.

When to order for an Irish wedding

August is the most popular month for weddings in Ireland, according to the CSO, and most grooms buy gifts four to ten weeks before the day. If you need several bags, order early so we can confirm stock, especially for matching colours. For three or more bags, contact us first.

Presentation

Every bag arrives in a cotton dust bag. Slip a handwritten note inside and it's ready to give.
