I have owned this bag for 1 month and have used it every day. The bag has already shown some generous signs of grind and tear, the leather is fading and shows cracks and the top does droop after the laptop is put in it and it appears to look caved in. This was NOT value the $180 I compensated for it and am disappointed including the feature. I will most liable have to replace this soon as I use it for business and it looks too worn. Extremely unhappy including the feature.

Bag arrived very quickly. The laptop sleeve fit my 13" HP laptop with plenty of room to spare. There are 3 pockets inside the bag that each fit a cord perfectly (power cord, ethernet, etc.). There is a slot for my badge, cell phone, wallet, keys, and pens, and a zipper pocket for small items. The space inside is big enough for papers, my lunch, and other items I may need. Finally, I love the bowler look. It is cross-generational. I am 27 years old and it matches my style beautifully. The red is gorgeous, slightly deeper than bright red. The straps are comfortable with an overcoat. I love carrying this bag to work, and carrying out afterwards if I go to happy hours or shopping.

I purchased the red bag as a the upper classes graduation gift for my son's girlfriend, idea it would be great as she sets forth into the effective world. When it arrived, it was so great I planning I would treat for myself to one as well. The bag is the perfect size for my 16" mainframe and is stylish at my age 50 and for the the upper classes grad as well. The red color is perfect, the leather double-jointed. After incisive through hundreds of bags, I'm so glad I selected this one.

I've been using this bag for a couple of weeks. I am glad I got it, and will happily keep it, but it's not perfect.-I love the organizational sections. pockets & etc. This is a real improvement for me. These pictures don't know the pockets inside the little front section, which are also useful.-I also like the handle. It's short enough that I can hold it with my hand, long enough that I can put it over my shoulder (at least during summer, without heavy coats) and in-between enough that I can drape in on my front arm. The long strap is also useful, of course.-I just flew with it the first time. The baggage strap worked nicely, and it fit under the seat in front of me (sideways), and I was in a window seat, that didn't have the full foot-area width! I wasn't sure this would work, so this is good.Why wasn't I sure? This brings up the first provision:-The bag is definitely taller than anything I'm putting in it. I wish it were shorter. Or, I wish there were two verticle rows of inside pockets so I could use the full height for things like cords and the like, instead of them building up width. (I'm not sure I'd want the pockets deeper for usual use--it would've been useful during the flight, but I think that would be too much for everyday use.)-The bag is also deep! Note the dimensions.-The leather is very soft, which is nice. It also means the bag isn't quite as structured as the pictures look. Since I don't have the top of the bag as full as the bottom 2/3s, I have been noticing the top, which it's sewn-in corners, squooshing in as I carry it.-The (black) leather finish is already starting to show some wear, especially around the top corners. It doesn't look damaged, but I think I'm going to have to polish this somewhat regularly if I don't want it to look worn. It is also showing a tendency to look a little.. flaky? Not a lot. It's in a way that I think is consistent with the pictures.The last thing is not unique to this bag: laptop sections in briefcase bags are way too wide! Okay, I now have a 13" Macbook Air (which works nicely in here), which is particularly narrow. But even with a regular Mac laptop, these are just so wide that they are useless as sections meant to hold in/protect laptops. For that reason, I always use some variety of a padded sleeve-type laptop cover. (For instance, I use this, Acme Skinny Sleeve for 13" MacBook Air - Purple - AM00919, in black, which works really nicely,)

I love this bag. It was exactly what I needed for a business trip. Received many compliments on it while on the road. I like the antique leather finish and love the light blue color. Nice change of pace from the usual black and browns I usually buy. Worked great as an accessory on the road, paired with a small rolling case--no checking bags at the airport, which made traveling just a little less crazy. Highly recommend it.

I am over 60 and do free lance graphics work at a variety of locations. Schlepping a laptop and graphics tablet along with the assorted stuff that makes them work (don't forget the wrist brace, extra glasses for close work, etc.!) was giving me a shoulder ache. My solution was a nice leather bag that was just too small. I was beginning to feel like a bag lady.I have looked for several months to find a bag that I thought might fit the bill. I am so happy with this one; I would recommend it highly. The laptop holder holds my 15.6 unit just fine...there is plenty of room on the top for a taller one, if yours is shaped a little oddly. It is not at all a tight fit side to side and the zipper is plenty wide so there should be no problem with scratches.There are more pockets that described. Some in every section except the laptop section. Plenty for pens, mice, cords, and earbuds, along with the other junk that old people have to carry. (If you're not old, this translates into "plenty of room".)The bag is wide enough to put my graphics tablet (in a protective sleeve) and still have room for some necessary print files.Very stylish, I feel much more professional when visiting with clients.Great bag!

The leather on this bag is very soft and buttery - we'll have to see how well it holds up. There is plenty of room and organization inside with all the pockets and compartments. I'm short (5'3) but can carry this easily. All in all - a classy bag!
