I’ve been using the Berlin backpack from Craft and Glory for the past 11 months, and it has proven to be a reliable and stylish companion for both office and travel needs. Crafted from high-quality leather, the bag has developed a rich patina and a beautiful sheen over time, adding character and individuality to its appearance.
The design strikes a perfect balance between practicality and elegance. It comfortably holds my daily essentials, including a laptop, chargers, documents, and personal items, all while maintaining a compact and professional look.
What stands out most is its durability. This backpack has endured long commutes, air travel, and a variety of weather conditions, yet it has only gotten better with use. The sturdy straps and zippers have held up exceptionally well, and the leather feels even more supple now than when it was new.
Overall, the Berlin backpack has exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality, aesthetics, and longevity. And it’s quite affordable too- I grabbed it at INR 8,499. If you’re looking for a leather bag that ages gracefully and stands the test of time, this is an excellent investment.
This Adventure briefcase is one of the best bags I have ever seen
The waxed canvas is thick and has a nice vintage shade
They are not cutting corners anywhere or trying to save leather
The shoulder strap is thick and long
The product is as shown in the pictures. Infact the pictures couldnt capture the quality of this bag
You have to hold it in hand to understand its quality
I found a few crooked stitches here and there but Im nitpicking and can be ignore
Overall I am 100% satisfied with the product and will get more products from them
I am glad that these guys are making these excellent leather products in India
The Legacy belt in saddle tan when paired with a nice selvedge jean makes a subtle statement. The buckle is not the bigger than life style like cowboy belts but still gives off a western heritage workwear inspired look that is different than commonly seen. The color of the buckle is golden and not copper as shown in the site, but that's okay. The leather is thick and has a deep brown hue, that is bit darker than their saddle brown boots, but at angles gives off a nice reddish brown, and looks beautiful with that two tone. It's pretty wide, so it would be a bit tight for the chino/dress pant belt loops. The leather, I felt was a bit dry when received, so I applied conditioner and now it looks great and feels very supple.
Shoe Build Beautifully - One Who Hesitates Seeing In website For Buying - Buy it it Was Indeed Good ..
I was Expecting It will Last Long - lets See
Excellent quality.
Beautifully crafted.
The company staff is very responsive to doubts and conversation.
Looking forward to using them.
The workmanship is outstanding. I very much like the buffalo leather. It's light but tough. I added some Huberd's shoe oil to the bottom of the insole to stop the new shoe squeak. And I applied some more around the inside of the collar and tongue, just to make it a little softer. These additions were not necessary, just personal preference. These are excellent boots. Among my favorites. A great value.
The build of the boots is by far the best I’ve seen in boots from India. My father, who used to live in the US, would talk about the great quality boots he used to get back in the States. But when he saw these boots it brought a smile to his face. They reminded him of the quality of boots he used to get there. In addition to the quality of the boot, I needed to get the boot quite urgently and reached out to Divya regarding my travel plans and I got the shoes much before I had to leave. So thanks for the early delivery. I can see myself using these for a very long time. And when the soles wear out I hope I come to you guys again to re-sole it. Nonetheless, it is a great boot. Didn’t disappoint whatsoever.
Craft and glory delivered with these Chelsea's. The delivery time was a bit long but it's worth the wait. Shoes fit just right, can wear them all day no problem and looks good. Happy with the purchase.
I swapped in 84-inch laces, and now these boots are great!
I purchased these monkey boots during the sale, they arrived promptly but were unfinished, the speed hooks had not been installed on either pair. Seemed odd as the boots had clearly been laced up by the lace indents in the tongue that they missed this.
I reached out and was told they'd remake the boots but since then comms have gone dark.
I've since had the speed hooks installed at a local cobbler at my expense (hence 4 stars). The boots themselves are great and after about 3 days break in have been very comfortable.
I recently purchased a pair of Goodyear welted pure leather boots, and I am beyond impressed with their quality. These boots are the epitome of strength and authenticity. The Goodyear welt construction not only ensures incredible durability but also makes them easy to resole, guaranteeing they’ll last for years. The leather is top-notch—thick, supple, and with a finish that only gets better with age. They feel incredibly solid on foot and provide excellent support.
What truly stands out, though, is the craftsmanship. You can see and feel the attention to detail in every stitch. Plus, they are seriously stylish! Whether paired with jeans or something more formal, they elevate the entire outfit. The combination of strength, authenticity, and undeniable aesthetic appeal makes these boots a must-have. They’re not just boots; they’re an investment in timeless fashion that’s as hot as it is functional.
Received the product today only! First impression on craftsmanship is impressive! Good to have two laces options! That’s something I didn’t expect! Build quality can be compared to some good international brands! Willl update after 2-3 months of use….
I would compare it with some good international brands! I would highly suggest to get good maintenance products for these pure leather products! Will update after 10-15 wears soon. Kudos to team C&G! Thanks….
The quality of the product is very good but the new leather is pain in ass. Hope in long run these get comfortable. The leather quality is great but the rivits/ the metal attached to the boots rubs with skin and leaves painful marks after wearing good quality socks too. Need to address this issue.
Overall the boots are cool looking
Very well made. Quite comfortable and light on the feet too.
Also, looks very cool!
At first I was skeptical of buying from a brand which I saw in in instagram. But let me tell you they have the potential to be one of the best shoe brands in India purely on the basis of leather they have used and the superb craftsmanship.
I am a Medical Officer in ONGC Tripura Asset posted in drilling rig and I have to wear industrial grade safety boots with steel toes and steel shanks all the time and your soles hurt like hell. With that said, I own few pair of woodland boots, 8 year old. The Moc Toes of C&G hits the sweet spot in between, with exactly the right comfort for my feet after my first wear. I wear a standard 8 uk & my feets are broader and my 2nd finger is longer than the first for the reference.
After watching a few youtube videos & reviews which states about the insole being thin and not comfortable, I invite them to wear safety boots.
About the box its very sturdy and has a dust bag and a rugged key chain as a gift. If you are a person who likes to care for your things you will love the box.
Overall I have to say keep it up guys and looking forward to your leather jackets. If this quality is maintained I am your loyal customer.
I highly recommend the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It met my expectations, and despite being a bit costly, I'm very satisfied with the purchase. Hard to find this type of authentic leather.
Love the quality and craftsmanship! I own a pair of each type of boots made by Craft and Glory! Initially I didn’t like the Monkey Explorer in the photos, but when I saw a friend wear them I had to buy them! I ordered them right away and here they are! They are roomy and comfortable!
I still cannot believe that newly made boots can be so comfortable from the beginning, fit and finish is great. I put them, laced them and that’s it. Of course there is desired hand made feel and look. Also that leather, almost unknown in EU is pure glory.
I will oder a bag really soon.
So craft and glory no doubts !!! Brand name does really mean something.
Let me start with an amazing customer support from Craft and Glory, I missed to apply the first promo code to get 10% off and I asked if they could refund that money. They immediately initiated promo code discount and got refunded in couple of days. You are very unique and awesome people.
Let me come to the quality of the product, well built, detail oriented, exceptional product. Well-deserved appraisal to the craftsman.
Kudos to the Team, you earned a lifetime customer. Wishing you the best.
I am very very particular and passionate about footwear, craft and glory's ads kind of told my love for footwear in a way. And the shoes lived up to what I was expecting.
After receiving their shoe , I am awe struck .. hope these shoe last forever as they promise.
One doubt / question to the team tough .. posting one pic of a closeup of the bottom layer stitching, even tough they look strong, won't they come off as they are directly exposed to the ground ? ... may be a cut was needed ?
Anyway awesome job . Keep up the quality !
I'm pretty happy with the boots for the money. They seem solidly built. The leather is reasonably thick, yet supple. It's not like it's a horween leather but there's nothing wrong with it if you don't mind a little texture.
I'm still breaking them, so the footed and sole are quite hard under foot. I wish the stitching on the sole didn't go over the lugs and was off the lugs or in a channel similar to vibram soles.
I replaced the laces as I found the ones that came with the boots a bit thin and uncomfortable but that was an easy fix.
I ordered a half size up from my US size, which was spot on with my EU and Japanese size measurements.
The boot is exceptionally well-crafted and robust, showcasing top-notch construction and high-quality materials. Every detail reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that has gone into creating a product designed to last for years. From the sturdy exterior to the reinforced stitching, these boots are built to endure daily wear and tear. I have no doubt they will age gracefully, developing a unique character over time and becoming increasingly comfortable with each use.
The leather used is supple yet durable, promising to withstand various conditions while maintaining its form and integrity. The sole provides excellent traction and stability, further enhancing the overall durability and performance of the boot. Wearing these boots, I can feel the careful consideration that went into every aspect of their design and manufacturing process.
I am thoroughly impressed and look forward to exploring other products. My expectations are high, given the quality and attention to detail exhibited in these boots.
However, there is some room for improvement, particularly with the insole. Currently, the insole is made of a very thin leather layer stitched onto a thin layer of foam. While this may be adequate for some, I believe a 4-5 mm thick leather insole would significantly enhance the overall comfort and support. This minor adjustment would elevate the boots from excellent to perfect, providing an even more luxurious and comfortable experience for the wearer.
Easily the best shoes I have ever owned. Top tier quality.
Excellent Quality Leather and Construction of the boots, I really liked it and after pairing it with Black or Olive jeans. The outfit looks class apart.
Now to the -ve points.
1. The boots when received were not pre conditioned and hence had to condition prior wearing.
2. The laces are somehow on shorter side for 8 eyelets. Hence if Craft and Glory team can provide 160 to 170CM laces with these boots then it would be perfect
