All players want the best in terms of equipment. And the golf bag is no exception. Trolley bag, carry bag, tour bag, everyone has their preference. Even though fiber bags wear out and break, they have their benefits like waterproof or isothermal pockets. Yes, but would not it be better a pretty patina rather than a crushed strap or a torn pocket?
Having a leather golf bag is a symbol of durability, but also craftsmanship of leather. With many brands available especially in the United States, here are some models that you can buy in Europe.
The Dunbar from Tom Morris 1848

This bag is the most basic and simple of what can be on the market. With 2 simple pockets and a strap, however it is stylish and offers all the basic features of a golf bag. Sold on the site of Saint-Andrews by the brand Tom Morris 1848, it is available in one color.
After a few years to walk a course, the skating of the bag will be the most beautiful effect.
Price from 459 euros. (out of stock)
Location: Scotland.
Sun Mountain Carry and Stand Leather Bags
Sun Mountain offers 2 versions of its leather golf bag. Available in trolley bag and tripod bag and in 4 colors, this model is made of Yak leather.
The tripod bag includes 5 pockets including a cloth pocket for valuables. Very light, it holds up thanks to its 2 legs of carbon fiber. The trolley bag is very similar and weighs only 2 kilos. It can very well be worn directly.
The advantage of choosing Sun Mountain is to take advantage of the brand’s know-how while having a relatively low price. It remains a leather bag by all means.

I contacted them to find out if this bag or a similar one is available.
Hi Nicolas,
Thx for your reply.
There is also only 1 picture of the bag,
If they don’t sell the bags anymore, maybe you can ask who produced them?
Kind regards Aart
Yes Aart,
I will keep this in mind when they’ll come back to me.
Bad news !
The bag is out of stock and they don’t keep track of the supplier as they said. At least they replied within a day.
