Samsonite Classic Leather Backpack, Cognac , One Size

This backpack is what I’ve been looking for! Didn’t think it would fit a 16 in MacBook Pro but it’s does with ease. Has a ton of other space and compartments, organization and dividers in the main and smaller front area and a small quick access pouch in the front. Also ordered a Kenneth Cole Reaction at the same time and this Samsonite feels like much higher quality. I honestly do not have a single complaint. I think this is my first 5 star review.

This is my favorite backpack for work, looks clean/professional and have enough space to fit my 16'' laptop, water bottle, a whole bunch of cables/charger/battery pack/headphone/wallet and have separate area for my wallet and misc. accessories.The main compartment is a too empty/large, so I purchased a Yoillione Nylon Backpack Organizer Insert, which helps me make use of the available space with additional compartments/pockets for mouse and conference pod. Keep in mind though, the insert takes up a decent amount of space ~30% maybe?The backpack is a bit on the large side, and a bit more expensive than other decent looking options, but it's the perfect backpack for work and it replaced my Kenneth Cole Reaction Manhattan Slim.Unlike the Kenneth Cole Manhattan Slim, I've had this backpack for more than a year, and it's still looks fairly new with no visible wear/damage and retained it's shape. The Manhattan was visible worn and discolored after a year and no longer retained it's original shape perfectly (leather is a lot thinner/softer).Note - I like the Samsonite leather backpack so much I ended up buying a Samsonite Classic Leather Slim Backpack, which is a lot smaller more portable, which is great for weekend use, but not great for work unless you only carry around a laptop.

It's been almost 2.5 years since I bought this backpack. It has held up exceptionally well, and I put it through a lot. No seams have even hinted at coming loose, and I load it down with a lot of stuff daily. Leather is still in great condition (I haven't treated it once). Only thing that would make it better is a water bottle pocket but I bought knowing it didn't have this. Shoulder straps are very comfortable and the back horizontal strap makes it easy to slip onto rolling suitcase handle. All around great backpack.

Super high quality. So many complements on this bag. Bought as a Father’s Day gift. Bag has plenty of space and hold all of the essentials for daily commute.

This bag makes me feel like the kind of person who has their life together—even when I’m frantically digging for my boarding pass under three granola bars and a tangle of charging cables.The leather is buttery smooth yet somehow tough enough to survive the emotional turbulence of airport security. The zippers glide like they’ve been training for the Olympics, and the compartments are so well-organized I half expect them to start offering life coaching.It fits my laptop, work documents, and even my “just in case” snacks (which, let’s be honest, are never “just in case”). And the straps? Comfortable enough that I almost forget I’m carrying a portable office on my back.Buy it if you want a backpack that turns heads in both the boardroom and the departure lounge.

This is the roomy version of the Samsonite slim, and I love that it stays big even when not packed full. There’s plenty of space and the pocket sizes work for everything from chargers to notebooks. Cognac color again looks super premium, and the zippers are always smooth—shout-out for that!On the flip side, like its slimmer sibling, there are zero spots for a water bottle, which is a bummer. The front design isn’t quite as stunning as the slim version, and the straps are thin, which means you’ll feel the weight. No hidden pockets here either.This is with the slim version, and I also love the brown color of this much more than other bags

Literally the best backpack I have ever had. I am in college, and know I’ll need one for my future career, this is going to last me years. It stands up on its own, leather is very good, no smell or anything bad when I first opened it. Pockets are very good, I mean very very good. Zippers are somehow even better. Many stylish details across the bag, very professional. It may seem like a lot, but I think this will be my bag for at least 10 years. If you’re debating between this one and the slim: if you have a bigger or muscular build, go with the bigger, it will fit. Looks good on the back, very tolerable weight. Performance is impecable, could not think it could be made better. Buy it!

Exactly what I wanted. My husband bought this for me for our 3rd anniversary (leather). It’s exactly what I wanted for work trips. I love all the pockets for organization. Great carry on size, slips under the seat perfectly. Works great for my laptop, I don’t have to worry about it being protected. Seems very sturdy. I used it on a 2 week long business trip and it held all my day to day essentials and everything I needed on my flights. The straps are surprisingly comfortable and the mesh on the back panel are great to avoid sweat. I have not tried it in any elements yet, but I have been debating treating it with a leather water repellant for extra protection. All in all a great bag.
