KPL Vintage 15 Inch Laptop Messenger Bag briefcase Satchel laptop bag for Men and Women

I decided that at 51 years old, I deserved to carry something a bit more dignified than a standard-issue fabric computer-branded bag for my daily items and carry-on bag. I couldnt be more pleased with the quality of this bag for the price I paid. Leather is supple and beautiful, contrasting lining makes items easy to find, and the spring-loaded buckles under the belt straps make quick retrieval of items in an airport easy. It also easily fits underneath the seat in an airplane while holding my laptop, reference manuals, wireless mouse, work phone I never use when I dont have to, and latest novel Im reading to drown out airport life. I suppose my only complaint is that the strap is a bit long (Im 61 and have it adjusted on the lowest setting) and the shoulder pad doesnt stay put, but this is nothing that cutting off the excess strap and a discrete stitch or concealed zip tie wont solve. Just get this. For the price you will be amazed.

My friends started going on about Komals Passion leather, and I happened to be in the market for something a little more classy (at the risk of sounding bourgeois) to come in to job interviews with, so I bit and bought this laptop briefcase. More for its briefcase properties than anything else. The bag is in line with what most of the other reviews say: it comes lighter than pictured, but it darkens with use/weathering (Ive had my bag for a little over a week and its already noticeably darker than it was when it arrived). When it comes, it might be somewhat oily and have a distinct, somewhat pungent smell to it. Mine came with this double-sided letter from Komal with his signature explaining that it was vegetable oil and the fresh leather smell that will fade away with time. It doesnt actually smell all that bad.This is all from my personal experience, so Your Mileage May Vary, of course. One thing I did notice is that the cloth inner lining of the bag will also darken noticeably from the time you get it - it looks almost as if the cloth is wet with oil. It doesnt change the feel of the bag - I just a little more partial to the original sort of pale green the inner lining had initially. Nothing game changing or worth removing a star over. If there was anything I didnt like about this bag, it was all simple stuff, like the leather straps used to hold it closed needing maybe one more hole bored through them higher up so that the buckle will lay flat when the bag is rather empty, but you can fix that if you know how to bore holes properly through leather. I not only would recommend this bag at this price to anyone in the market for one, I also plan to buy from this merchant again - another laptop bag/briefcase big enough for my 17-inch laptop.

Komals Passion Leather Bag is a beautiful piece that I am giving as a graduation gift. No only was the bag affordable, but when it arrived, I found ti to be oh so sexy! The vendor has taken the time to place natural care instruction and a HAND SIGNED personalized note with the bag to Thank You for your business. This type of care for the customer and attention to personal details are how lasting relationships are made. I definitely will be purchasing from Komal again. Thanks for valuing your customers and providing us with a quality product for an affordable prize!

After A LOT of searching, I finally bought this bag, and I am beyond thrilled with it! The quality is absolutely amazing and it feels like it is going to last a very long time. First thing I did before using it was to completely cover every inch of it with waterproofing spray because I want to make sure that nice leather stays that way! The storage and the number of pockets is perfect. To name just a few things it fits comfortably...my laptop, charging cords, flashlight, knife, pistol and spare mag, power bank, vape mod and juice, and lots more with plenty of room to spare! Its extremely comfortable to carry, the strap is very strong and solid feeling, and the latches hidden behind the buckles are nice and convenient. And personally, I love the smell of the fresh leather. Its very evident that they take great pride in making these bags and the personally signed note is a great added touch too. If this bag ever wears out, I will definitely be buying another one, if not sooner, just to make sure I have a backup in case they ever stop making them.

At first there was a mixed up with my order, sent it back and got the correct one, the problem was I wanted permanent buckle straps and I recieved buckles with snap buttons because the picture showed otherwise. Finally did get the correct one and been using it ever since. Love the bag, would definitely buy again if I had to.

I was optimistic after reading the reviews prior to making this purchase. I was only a little concerned that I may receive a different bag than what was ordered, or a variation of what was described, based on some reviews. Particularly regarding the detachable shoulder strap. I got EXACTLY what I ordered though and am very happy about it. It, of course, had the expected leather aroma - which duh, its leather and was just packaged in plastic and a box and shipped across the country. This did dissipate over a few weeks and was never overpowering or offensive, to begin with. KPL did send a very nicely written letter with care instructions as well, which addresses that you should expect this. I do work from home and mostly purchased this bag for the occasions that I am working elsewhere or traveling back home and need to bring my laptop with me. I cant attest to sturdiness since I havent really put it to the test, but it appears to be sturdy at least. A lot of the reviews I read commented that they felt that there was a ton of space in the bag and listed three dozen objects they can fit into it at the same time.. I will say that there isnt as much space as a lot of reviewers have convinced themselves exist - but thats actually ok with me. If you add too much space, you just keep filling it up. This helps me keep the bag not overburdened with junk I dont need to carry. I purchased this particular bag because of the size of my laptop, and I will note that its a snug fit. But I prefer that as well because my laptop isnt getting tossed around as I walk or travel with it. One interesting construction note I had was that the buckles on the front flap of the bag arent actually the same. Theyre very similar, and nobodys going to notice but me unless I call attention to it. This is not at all a problem for me, and if anything I kind of like that it makes my bag unique for me. Overall, if you need an adult, professional appearing bag then this is an ideal purchase.

Very pleased with the craftsmanship of this bag. The leather is good quality and the lining, buckles, finishes, and packing are very nice. The price is extremely reasonable for the quality of product. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Excellent, ordered another after seeing the quality of my first laptop messenger.

Very impressed with the craftsmanship.

Well-crafted product. Nice easy snap-in brass buckles. Eagerly awaiting the patina.
