Stop looking. This is the bag.
You clicked on it because it looked like something you'd probably use/carry, or you know somebody who would. You can stop clicking. This is the bag. I was looking for a leather bag to replace the trendy nylon bag I've had for 22 years. I carry a bag to work every day and I can't wait to carry this one to work tomorrow. It is simple, yet functional, casual, yet professional, and the quality is quite amazing. It has thick leather; excellent stitching; quality hardware such as zippers and the strap. The interior materials are of a high quality as well. There is a zippered pocket and a luggage strap on one side, a "lean out" zippered pocket on the other side that has two large pockets sewn in that you could fit a couple TI-84 graphing calculators in, then two pen holders that are made of leather that you could fit two Sharpies in easily if you wanted, without forcing them, then a very nice business/credit card holder with 4 slots. This main pocket has a zippered pocket on one side of the main pocket, and on the other side is a padded divider that is completely sewed in on 3 sides with a securely stitched leather strap with nicely stitched velcro on one end to secure whatever you put in that pocket. That pocket is made for a laptop, and my Lenovo 15.6 laptop with room to spare. The bag does not come in a box, but is placed in a nice canvas bag that can be repurposed, then that is wrapped in thick plastic, then packaged in something for shipping (mine was in a plastic mailing pouch, yours may differ depending on shipping options for the seller). There was a note (sent to all buyers) that was nice and gave quality care instructions. Mine even had fresh handwriting on it. The price for this quality bag was amazing. I'm not someone who would spend a fortune on a bag anyway, but this bag was under a hundred bucks and I'm certain I will get years of use and lots of compliments. One thing I want to point out is that on the carrying handles of other bags I saw on Amazon, there it this little wrap thing that goes around both handles to keep them together. I hate that thing because you always have to button/unbutton (or velcro). That gets in the way. One of the biggest reasons I took a chance on this bag is because it did NOT have that little handle wrap thing. Now, I got mine, and my wife immediately went to the seller's personal website to look for herself a new bag. I'm a fan of this seller.

Great bag but you will need to prep it. See full review.
This is a very nice looking and well built bah; especially for the price. I'm pretty sure it's glued as opposed to stitched but that is really what you would expect for the price point. First with the cons, and how to fix it: - The tanning process creates a distressed look but that comes with the common problem of dye bleeding into clothes when rubbed. This is not unique to this bag, happens with 90% of the leather briefcases I buy, even the very expensive ones. This problem is easily solved if you have a little patience. As you can see in the pictures I have posted here the distressed look is somewhat subdued because I treated the whole bag with Pecard leather dressing (sort of like a mink oil). Beware, when you do this the bag will get a shine and will take away from the distressed look but it will come back over time (it will likely never look like a brushed leather but it isn't brushed to start with, you wouldn't dress a nubuck, suede or brushed leather as that would matt down the leather). The dressing also waterproofs the bag while sealing it. I typically dry the bag after dressing for a couple of weeks but you can wrap it in a cloth to pull some of the oils away if you aren't patient. When I dress my leather I rub it in and then wipe it out to remove excess oil. The bag still looks distressed but a little more shiny. I tested the leather this morning after 8 hours of drying and the bag already resists bleeding onto cloth even after a good rub. Pros - Plenty of room in the bag for a 16 inch Macbook pro, my wallet, glasses, pens and a Samsung Tab 7 FE or 13 inch Macbook air plus chargers. Time will tell how the bag holds up but it appears to be pretty sturdy. The one thing I would add is some reinforcement to the bottom of the bag to prevent it from stretching and sagging over time. I think the bag is beautiful and looks as nice as many bags that I have paid hundreds of dollars for.

Fantastic Value!
This is a very nice bag at any price.....but an absolute steal for $75! I had been looking at new laptop bags for some time now, from the $100 versions up to a $500 Tecovas bag that I really liked. Yes, the Tecovas bag is very high quality and beautiful, but I just kept thinking to myself "Do I really need to spend $500 on a BAG?!" It turns out you don't need to. The leather on this bag is thick and durable, yet still supple. It's a perfect size.....not bulky, but fits everything you really need. Looks sleek and professional without too many zippers, buckles, etc. Yes, you may see some reviews with quality issues. But so will ANY bag at any price. I've seen them! This bag has LOTS of high ratings for a reason. I don't really care about the brand name and just want a bag that looks great and WORKS. Of course I would prefer nice cotton/canvas liners vs. nylon, but for $75 you will not get everything. And the liners are good enough. Zippers look and operate well, all good. One thing to know however is that the color you receive may not be exactly as in the photos. I ordered the "tan", and the first photo is what I received right out of the box in natural light outside. So "tan" is not like the more cognac color in the stock photo. But I'm OK with that. And once I applied some high quality leather conditioner, I got the second photo. Beautiful rich and natural color that I want.

High quality at a competitive price.
Well made. I looked for a long time for a messenger style bag that didn't have the flap over the storage compartments. I wanted quicker access to things. I really love this bag. Great organization and options to separate things to find easily later. Not too big and not too small. Looks really stylish. I compared this bag to higher priced bags, name brand ones, I was looking into buying. I used to think the more you pay the better the quality but I have been dissapointed lately in that philosophy. Those brands have quality control issues. Zipper seems to be working fine opening and closing as needed. I read some people complain of zipper operation with this brand and other brands. If anyone has issues put a light coat of oil on the zipper for smoother operation. Just take a Qtip and apply it into the zipper track that sticks and then as you open and close the zipper the oil will eventually coat the whole zipper track. A little goes a long way. Coconut oil has so many useful home applications. I paired this bag with a book cover from this brand so that whatever book I'm reading is protected if I have other things in the bag. Or I can put that book cover in other bags too. It is more a journal cover but I like how I repurposed it. It matches the bag perfectly. To the owner of this brand...keep up the good work. I'll be back!
