Beautiful

Very happy with my purchase. Well made, nice soft leather, solid brass buckles.Perfect size, not too big and clunky. Lots of pockets for storage and security.Works for business or casual.A classic style and design at a reasonable price!

Very well made, New York City grade of fashion. A very smart look I love it!

CONS - I am trying to like this bag., but this is not a laptop bag. Its more of a document or small tablet (<14in.) carrier. It does not have any padding or insulation. I had to cut to measure and add some foam rubber to one of the compartments, thereby rendering that compartment useless. I relied on Amazon's Rufus AI to give me accurate info about this bag and its ability to fit my Thinkpad PS16 laptop. Mistake! It was way off. The laptop will fit it, but it will not fit anything else. The charging brick will bang up against or press against the laptop. And if anyone knows Lenovo Thinkpad charging bricks - they're big and heavy. My cooling pad which is slightly larger than the laptop will not fit in with the laptop. *Sigh* .PROS - Its a beautiful bag. Top grade leather, two outside compartments, that will hold writing pens/pencils. Plenty of zippered compartments. Sueded leather on the inside. it appears to be sturdy and quality made - but for documents/papers only , not for electronics. You can place your cellphone or small tablet in the main inside compartment.The size that I got was supposed to be able to accommodate my PS16 laptop, and it does - without any additional room to spare. Thanks Rufus AI! Make sure you order one size larger if its available. Got a 16" laptop? Get the 17"-18" size. Just remember you'll have to add your own padding.

Bought this for my husband it. He loves it. Kind of heavy, but looks expensive and is great quality.

Simply beautiful and amazing. The quality of this bag is remarkable. If you have not purchased this bag yet because you weren't sure of the quality. This will be the best bag you could ever buy, I highly recommend this bag to everyone. Nice size, plenty of compartments to fulfill anyone needs. Five star is not enough for the quality of this bag. I give it 100 stars. Love it, and I loved that I bought it as a gift for such an amazing friend.Thank youGODSCVRGYRL

EDIT 2: Another couple of weeks, and now the zipper on the back panel has broken. I've rarely used this; even so, the insert pin has stripped away, so now the teeth won't align. The slider will move, but the zipper doesn't zip.EDIT: After few additional weeks of use, the bag has more issues with the handles. While I was able to fix the shoulder strap connection (see pic...$10 at hardware store), the handle is on the verge of failing - see tear in picture. As a result, I'm lowering the rating to 1 star. I still like the look of this satchel, but the handle/strap issues are wholly unacceptable. While not expensive at $70 (compare to "similar" items at over $200), these problems will make the bag useless far too soon for any price.I ordered this item as a replacement for a computer backpack that had outlived it's usefulness. I was looking for something with a more professional presentation, and always liked the look of a leather satchel. This bag fit my main criteria.... large enough for a 17" laptop with plenty of space and pockets for all the paraphernalia of a modern traveler - phone, tablet, notepad, and lots of power cords. The bag has a good design, a nice look and is the right size. The bag was also a good price - about $70 when I bought it.Here are my Pros and Cons.Pros.1) Size. Perfect for 15" or 17" laptops. Plenty of space for accessories.2) Pockets... 4 exterior pockets. Side pockets are perfect for a mouse or small glasses cases. Front pockets good for passport, wallet, earbuds, etc. I also carry my entry badge for office, some business cards, and small pouch of tissues.3) Look. The overall look is classic, with nice stitching and buckles galore. The bag I received was a lighter color than the picture - more light tan than brown - but I fixed this with some brown scuff repair, which the leather absorbed well.Cons1) The designs of the carrying handle and shoulder strap are insufficient for a bag this size. The clips that are fastened to the bag are very sturdy, using rivets, but the handle and strap components are weak. One clip on the shoulder strap broke after only a few weeks of use. See attached picture. I have not yet contacted the manufacturer to see about replacement (in part because getting a new one with the same design flaw seems pointless) Without the shoulder strap, I'm concerned about the single-strapped connector on the front having to carry too much weight... will eventually see, I suppose.2) Shoulder strap connection to the bag is placed in such a way that the strap significantly compresses the top of the bag. The top flap of the bag is 2-2.5" wider than the inward curving sides of the bag. This design causes creases on both edges of the top flap, and one in the middle just below the handle. The two-piece shoulder strap buckles right in the middle which can put the buckle right on your shoulder when carrying. A better design would have the buckle far to one side eliminating this issue.3) The handle design is not sturdy enough for the bag. I don't overload the bag, but with computer, headphones, and accessories, the thin strap on the handle stretches precariously. [EDIT: the leather is now tearing at the connection to the bag. See picture. The looseness of the handle, combined with the thin leather, and small diameter connector have allowed the handle to pull awkwardly, creating this tear. I expect it will tear completely through within a few more days.] The stitches on the handle also use thread, rather than leather, so these stitches are coming undone. The rectangular metal clips easily turn between the bag and handle, since both loops are very loose around the clip. This rotation adds stress on the leather.4) Computer pouch. The bag has well padded inner partitions. These padded partitions sandwich the wide (~4") center section in the bag (which does not have padding on the bottom). The narrow sleeves, one on either side of the center partition, have padding on only the one side. This means that one side of the computer is not protected very well.Despite the issues I've described, I really like this bag. I just can't give it better than three stars. I expect I'll be able to find fixes for the strap and handle so that I can keep using the bag.

I bought this bag for the look and style of the bag for the price. The bag seems to be fairly well constructed. There is some jagged cuts of the material as well as some stitching that isn't perfectly straight, but that was expected and overall seems to be very good considering the cost. The only issues I have is 1 the smell, even after several days in the open it is very strong in my office, although I'm sure this will dissipate. The main issue I have is the images online are distressed and this item is not(which will change over time) however it is a very orange hued leather, not brown like I expected. Overall I would buy it again for the price, but you should take note of this prior to ordering.
