Ages beautifully and has storage for everything a professional would want to carry to work.
I'm a big fan of this bag even though the name brand sounds kinda funny. It looks really nice and gets a nice patina to it after a month or two of use. So far I've used it in the midwest during Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter and it has held up beautifully. It is nice and slim but it will also expand in such a way that it is not bulky at all when I fill it up with my iPad or laptop, notebooks, and my AirPods Max. There's pockets for books, private items, papers, a computer, another computer, or other miscellaneous things, and a built in set of card holders. I was looking for something sturdy, good looking, and wasn't too large for a man and I found it. The strap is also adjustable and I use it mainly in a messenger bag style. Even the bottom, which takes the most abuse, does not wear out. The leather has only aged nicely but not worn out at all. The zippers all close cleanly and easily and they do not end up misthreaded. The magnetic closure on the main flap is very strong so there's no fear of it flying open due to strong wind or in situations where you don't want it opening. On top of that there's also the inner zipper that you can close as well in case you worry that someone will open the magnetic flap. There are also a couple of other nice little items inside like a built in keychain that you can easily get your keys on and off of as well as a leather loop that you can use to hold a rolled up charger cable or other looped object.

Perfect replacement! Beautiful! Strong!
For years I had the a fossil messenger bag that I loved, it finally wore out... I have been looking to replace it for about a year. I looked in stores, and all over the web. This bag was a super choice. I am very happy with it! The leather is thick and the color is beautiful. I was worried the strap would not be comfortable because it is leather and my old bag had a soft canvas strap, but it is very comfortable. I have the 16 in Macbook and it fits in the center area with divided pocket with room for my old school daytimer (I like lists), and another pocket for cords, etc. There are several zipper pockets, too. I like that the bag stands up on its own - my old bag was soft and slouched often fell over. It was packed very well. There was not weird smell. I was worried about the interior material that lined the leather, but it is fine! I did scratch the outside by accident with a belt or something, and it shows up, but I conditioned it again and that helped. The distressed look helps too. They really did a great job on the distressed look! I noticed someone else commented on the magnets, and I agree on that, they really do not stay attached well. I just flip it around if I am walking a distance and don't want to hear the flap move. Not a big deal. Buy it!

Excellent quality, craftmanship. A few refinements can make it better
This an excellent product, the leather, craftmanship and quality is very good. I have no complaints on the quality of the product. It has plenty of pockets as well for your daily needs. The product is as advertised, so nothing to complain, but i wanted to share a couple of points to nitpick this otherwise great product. - This bag is large, even for a 16 inch MacPro it is big. Keep that in mind if you are looking for something little more snug and compact. I feel there could be 2 smaller options with the same features, one for upto 13 inch and one for 15-16 inch laptop respectively. - The strap is long, but it is adjustable. However if you want it a little shorter, then the movable buckle comes right at your shoulder, and you cannot tuck it into the shoulder pad as the buckle is too large to go through it. For my use i needed the buckle over to the other side of the shoulder pad, and i have no way to do so, except get it customized later. - Could have avoided the internal brass hook as it can scratch/damage any other object that you keep outside the laptop sleeve. Also may put pressure on the laptop if you accidentally press from outside. To the maker, keep making such great products, I hope you can provide more refined options in future.

Broken zipper but amazing bag and company.
Alright. A couple of things. This bag is amazing. This company is amazing. The zipper was broken on this bag on the outside but I liked it so much I debated keeping it how it was and not returning it. I rarely use the outside zipper. Nonetheless, I sought a return and was immediately sent a new one and not charged. I don’t have it yet but I have zero doubt it will be great (comes Wednesday). The quality is unmatched. The care of the leather and build is immediately apparent. It’s a perfect size. It’s a sharp looking bag. Unfortunately, I will end up being charged for the return because my dog got to it prior to me getting it sent back. As much as it sucks to not be reimbursed on a bag that was flawed when I received it, I have zero regrets paying for it twice. This is worth every penny and more. I do not think for a second that the zipper issue is reoccurring. It was one of those rare happenings, and had it not been for my dog, the return would have been cake. No negatives.
