> 3 dayThis bag is great! I wanted to take a couple of weeks to use it before reviewing and it has been everything I wanted. What is really nice is the bag has filled out in its depth. So you can set the bag down and it remains standing vertically, like a briefcase. Too many bags like this just flop over when you set them down. I really like the fact that you can fully secure this bag by zippering it closed. I originally thought this was desirable because I was concerned my laptop might slip out of a more open model. The design of this one has the laptop pocket tucked under the top edge of the bag, so it covers and protects the laptop without actually needing to zip it closed. Very easy to use, plus you can still zip it up whenever you want to secure it a bit more. I have been carrying a laptop and 10 tablet very comfortably with lots of room to spare. The interior canvas lining seems legitimate, in that it is not some sort of stick-on applied material. It is actual canvas stitched in with the leather. And the leather is substantial! Thick and quality come to mind. Mine was plenty raw but the smell fades quickly, like 6-7 days for me, but the color is still getting richer and darker. Overall this is a really quality item and I am happy to recommend it. I feel like I will have this item for a long time going forward.

Greater than one weekI absolutely love this. It’s everything and more than I expected. Very good craftsmanship and very well made. I love the thick leather and the leather smell isn’t strong at all. It holds my 17.3” Laptop perfectly and has lots of pockets and dividers right where they need to be. It even has a zipper pocket on the outside back of the satchel. It came with a personally signed letter. One of my favorite parts is that the leather was hand tanned in the sun using only vegetable oils. There are zero chemicals used. I’m so impressed. Get it now before the price goes up it’s so worth every Penny. It’s perfect. It’s now November and Here’s my update. I’ve had no problems at all. I’ve had a lot of compliments and the bag has remained supple and will stand on its own still. It’s perfect and the cost is better than most. I am still 110% satisfied.

> 3 dayI received this messenger bag very quickly. It is beautiful! I got the 16 bag, for my 14 laptop and it fits as expected. The leather is lovely, and I expect to get many years use from it. When I showed it to my husband, he liked it so much that he immediately ordered himself one, plus a duffel bag! I love the styling and the quick buckle underneath the regular buckle. There are separate compartments for files and such, with several extra zippered compartments. It arrived with every metal part securely wrapped, in an over bag to protect the surface.

> 3 dayThe leather itself is thick and the holes for the straps are small. I prefer that. The prong of the buckle has to be forced through the first time, but that means it will NOT accidently come unbuckled, and that the remaining, unused, holes are not obtrusive. There is an aroma to it, but I am sure that will off-gas. The interior is voluminous! I am opening it up by putting shoes in the middle opening. Im also leaving the top flap open to give it some flexibility. The zippers are all of good quality. Although the Care Instructions say conditioners and waterproofing products can be used, it qualifies that by saying, . . .with limited application. I wish there were better guidance. Amazon has something called Leather Honey, my nephew used straight Neetsfoot oil. I just dont know. Hey, it looks good, and seems durable! It would make a good gift, was a great price, and I would buy it again!

> 3 dayFor the most part its an awesome product for my business needs. Just a small problem with the zipper working correctly. Just to say it came this way zipper needed to connect before I could close it

> 3 dayYou can tell when someone takes pride in their work. I was looking for messenger bag for work and this one caught my eye. I read the reviews and decided to take a chance. Opening the box I noticed the way it was packaged. The bag was in a plastic bag, inside a cloth bag, inside another plastic bag. On further inspection of the bag, you could tell someone took pride in their craftsmanship. I look forward to many years of use.

> 3 dayLet me start of by saying buy this bag at such a low price and you will not regret it. The packaging was if I bought 400 glass bag from over seas. There was layer of plastic wrap over nice draw string bag. Once I opened it I found another plastic bag and then foam wrap under the plastic. Then each piece of metal( even zippers) Were individually wrapped in tape and foam. Instantly I new the owner cares. The the small details in the metal and leather convinced me even more. I originally wanted for the 2 zippers as this will be my daily bag or travel. I didnt realize there were 3 and multiple other pouches till I started packing it up. Build quality is amazing and I cant wait to break it in. It is already standing on its own from the design. Canvas happens to be my favorite color and style, another reason for the purchase. This to is quality and matches perfectly. It also feels like heavy canvas that will stand the test of time. The snap buckles are my only complaint but Im really being picky. They feel on the cheaper side because of how thin they are but the other metal is thick and sturdy. Mine did come with some small flaws like a miss stitch or rivot not 100% straight. I personally think that adds character and it sure doesnt hurt its functionality. I mean isnt this why we buy hand made items to begin with, character? I have not had mine long to really say this will last but I hope it does. It met every need and went beyond my expectations at this price point. ***Update....I would like to add that I had a small issue with my bag. Seems the small screws (like eyeglass size) were missing from one buckle. Simple mistake and I can see how easily it was missed. Since It only came off once I had a good amount of weight in the bag. However, hours after my email the owner got back to me with just one question, my address (Zero hassle!!! How RARE now a days). Just 2 days later he sent me an a new buckle when just screws were missing. I hate to bring up mistakes even when taken care of beyond expectations but I read a lot of complaints about their customer service. My experience was perfect and I will be letting everyone know.*** I would like to end with reviews about the smell. Yes its real leather so yes it will smell but eventually fade. Mine however is not strong and I kind of hope it doesnt fade. I got leather for strength, longevity, style and yes the smell. I mean why buy leather if you dont like the smell? Thats like buying a hat and complaining you dont like things on your head.....

> 3 dayI’ve only given this a 4-star across the board so far as I’ve only had the bag a few weeks. However, so far so good. The bag is true to displayed colour, which I like. It is certainly a bit smelly for a couple of weeks but it’s not too awful and diminishes over time. It is pretty soft and, since it has no frame anywhere, does tend to bend to the shape of your body when carried normally at your side. It got a bit wet last week and dried out well, with no colour loss or transfer to me! Very good and sturdy strap attachments and buckles. Good strap and although I was a bit suspicious of the shoulder pad (will the loop last?) it seems fine at the moment. Interior’s all as described so no complaints. Please with it so far.

> 3 dayThis bag is truly great... Where do I start? I cannot believe it was so cheap for such a great bag. Thats the biggest thing. My husband has always dreamed of having a leather bag like this, but it has never been in our budget. I decided to go for it for Christmas this year. He was a little upset, until he heard it was under 100$ dollars. So he loves the bag. And hes so pleased I found one so reasonably priced. The quality is great. Hes been carrying it to work (he walks, about a mile) every day, for the last three months and it is still brand new. It is comfortable to carry. The zippers are durable and work excellently. My husband is a bit of a hoarder and usually his work bags reflect that--- So this bag is carrying a lot of weight and has a lot of random things stuffed into it. It is up to the task! The leather looks lovely and doesnt feel cheap. It doesnt have the buttery gorgeous feeling of a really expensive leather, but I have had cheap, cheap goats leather products and its definitely a notch above. If youre on a budget and looking for a nice leather bag - you wont be disappointed by this bag. Buy with confidence.
