KPL 18 INCH Leather Briefcase Laptop Messenger Bag Satchel Office computer bag for men and women (18 INCH)

Nothing to dislike about this product!

Craftsman is good

I got a new computer at work, a Dell 7730 laptop that measures 10.8 x 16.3 x 1.2, which wouldnt fit in the old messenger bag Id been using. I have a roller computer bag that I use on trips but it was a bit much for daily use, so I looked for a larger messenger bag and found this KPL one. Ive been using it for about two weeks now and am pleased with it. My computer just fits in it. Its a tight enough fit that I cant easily slide the computer in one-handed. However, getting my computer in and out seems easier, either because the bag is looser or because Im more used to it. I like that the bag stands up on its own. My old smaller messenger bag, which I loved, couldnt sit standing up. This bag can sit by my desk, ready for me to put my computer it in when I leave my office. Its a very big bag, and I really use it only to carry my computer from my home to my car to my office and back. I keep a few other things in it, including a small umbrella, but I dont try to put a power adapter in, preferring to have one at work and one at home. For true road warrior trips, Ill revert to the roller bag. I like that the shoulder strap is removable. I took the padding piece off the strap because for me the piece was too wide to be comfortable, and I prefer just using the strap without it. With my computer loaded the bag does bounce uncomfortably off my hip as I walk, so I do keep a hand on the front of the strap to restrain the bag, something I didnt really have to do with my older smaller bag. The quick releases on the front are essential and work fine. I saw some people asked questions about this, and yes, at least on my bag, there are two quick releases on the front of the bag that are usually hidden behind the buckle straps connected to the top of the bag. I did adjust those buckle straps on my bag to use the closest hold to the top, and the top does seem a bit lose but not enough for me to bother punching another set of holes. That there are two straps is something else Ive had to get used to — my old smaller bag had only one, which was more convenient — but given the size of this bag and that it carries larger heaver items, I understand why two are necessary. One more thing about the quick releases — I took a photo of one to upload with this review, and looking at the photo I noticed that the bracket on the quick release already looks banged up. It doesnt really come into contact with anything except leather, so I dont know why its so banged up, not that it really matters since its hidden most of the time. I didnt spend nearly as much on this bag as on my old bag and got it only because of my new computer, but for the price its a good bag.

This bag is really nice and seems to be a good quality for the price. The shoulder strap is a little smaller and flimsier than I would like. The part that should support and rest on your shoulder flows freely and doesn’t stay in place. Aside from that it’s what we needed.

I wanted a leather bag that was elegant and robust and this seemed to fit the bill. The bag is nearly there. It is large. It feels robust. I thought that buying ‘full grain leather’ that it would be - but as you can see it is a veneer of leather on a hessian or similar backing, which feels quite rough to the touch. The delivered bag was quite light, and to protect the leather I used Obenaufs Leather Oil, also available on Amazon, which darkens the shade. The major weakness is the strap. It is two very thin pieces of leather stitched together, and it stretched thin within two weeks of usage. This is a letdown because my primary usecase for this was wearing over my shoulder. The included strap pad slides around easily and doesn’t provide much support or comfort. The bags leather creases quite easily. I give credit to Mr Komal for creating these bags, and he leaves a note explaining his small business in the bag. Honestly at this price point it’s not bad. Please make a better quality strap and it would improve my experience 90%.

I read the review and was a bit unsure of the quality, but with a good return policy, I decided to take a chance. The bag was very well packed to ensure it arrived undamaged. The leather is good quality and thick. The canvas inside the bag is sturdy and looks great. As noted, the color is a bit bright, not quite orange, but that is what you get with minimally processed real leather. I bought a bottle of leather honey and applied it, it looks fantastic, at least I love the color. As it use it and it gets broken in, I am sure the color with continue to get richer. My only critique is for the band of leather around the flap. It would have been nice had it been one continuous piece, you can see where the pieces over lap, but it Is certainly not a flaw, just a suggestion should a redesign be considered. Again, this bag is definitely built to last and great quality at a very good price. I would buy it again, though I am pretty sure I will never have to. The pictures attached are my actual bag taken with my iPad, but to the eye, the bag is definitely darker. The water spots did come with the bag, but I am ok with them as I want it to look broken in, I imagine it will get more so with use. The seller included a very nice note, with a real signature!, stating he would replace this bag if I was unhappy with it, so I am sure that had this been an issue, it could have been resolved easily. This is a real review, I paid full price for this item and am getting nothing in return for this posting.

For a bag at this price point, I am very impressed. The zippers and stitching seem top notch, and the leather is beautiful quality. There was no smell as others have indicated. And all the buckles, zippers, metal came individually wrapped in Styrofoam/plastic so they were perfect no scuffs. The interior of the bag is a more matte forest green, not a brighter green as some of the pictures in other reviews had (I like my color better). The bag will stand up on its own. The storage space is unbelievable, and well organized, with an additional zipper compartment on the back, and 2 under the flap. My only gripe about the bag is they needed another 1-2 holes punched in the straps of the main flap. But I can do that myself at some point. The only thing left to see now is durability; I just hope the handle holds up and can handle the weight of my daily commute (laptop, charger, lockable hard case case for documents).

I used this to carry books, paperwork, and various items to school as a teacher. I liked the retro look, and even the kinda funky smell the material got after walking in the rain didnt bother me. If you like the Indiana Jones look, this is the book bag for you.

My wife bought me this bag for Christmas and I had not used it enough to really write a product review. Well, now that I have had it a few months I like it so much that I went back to my order history, found it, and wanted to give it a good report. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it would be a great add-on if the little pouch in the front also had a quick clasp like the main flap does.

Leather Messenger bag was packaged neatly in pretty organza bag. The leather on this bag was thin, pliable, naturally colored and blemished in a few places as to be expected. The smell of the bag passed the test of leather, unlike other reviewers, we did not notice a foul or chemical smell. I suspect with the backed up delivery system worldwide, raw products could be riding the ocean in containers for long periods of time. The bag was given as a gift, better than expecting for the reviews, the recipient was a young artist and she loved the 18 inch size for a few of her lightweight sketchbooks and chrome book. Hoping she doesnt overload the bag! The extra compartments were appreciated and the buckles were very functional and easily latch able. There are some handmade traits to the bag possibly assembly line style, a few holes in stitching were missed in places, but doesnt affect the overall star rating. Overall, very pleased with product, customer letter, fast shipping, and packaging.
