Leather briefcase 18 inch laptop messenger bag for men and women best satchel office bag

Title probably sounds a little negative, but it's not. Firstly, I love this briefcase. I noticed that there were comments on smell and while there is a smell, I had to actually put my nose to the item to notice it. And I didn't find it unpleasant; to each their own. It's very high quality and appears very well made. I didn't have concerns with the main clasp as I had read by others, but I'll keep an eye on it. The shoulder strap is very long, which is nice because I can use it on one shoulder or as a crossbody bag. It has a nice zipper pocket inside and card slots, not that I would use those. It would be my luck that the cards would fall out... Why I say it's almost perfect...but gave it 5 stars. I made some compromises because this bag meet most of my needs while being beautiful and well made. So my compromises are minor concessions. I would like it to have a zipper top under the flap. I'm afraid my clumsiness will cause a spill and things will get lost. I would like the two front compartments to have clasps under the buckles. I'd like the buckles to be decorative like the one on the main compartment. The lining is beautiful. I love the green/blue plaid. But...I wish it would be something less pet hair attractive. Same with the shoulder strap. Lastly: and this is a biggie. My laptop is a 17" Dell Precision 7760 ("workstation", if that matters) and it was a VERY TIGHT fit into the laptop compartment. It's an effort to get it in there and fits a little more than snug. And the velcro security strap can't fasten because the laptop sticks out too far. So...technically, my laptop fits, but it was very snug. Just the way the padded compartment is constructed, I wouldn't expect any relaxing with age of the leather. Maybe I read the dimensions incorrectly? Anyway, my laptop does fit and this was the best looking bag IMO available, so I'm keeping it. It really is beautiful and well made.

I am a professor, so with the academic year around the corner, I decided to upgrade my messenger bag. I shopped around our local stores and everything was at least $300, even after huge discounts. I decided to buy this one because it seemed decent in the photos. It looks better than all the designer bags I saw and the price is great. It smells amazing too (I am saying this because I see so many people complaining about the smell; I went to the office today with this bag, and the entire room smelled like great leatherwork). It has the right compartments, it fits my laptop (it even has a cushioned compartment for my laptop, so I will not be forced to use the cushioned sleeve I used to take with me every day), it has enough space for books, notebooks, etc. I even fit a lamp in it today. Amazing bag! Buy it!

Superb build quality and excellent materials used. The soft inside lining is ideal, with large, cavernous carry area inside is perfe4ct and the separate notebook (carried a 15" with ease) is well thought out and has a Velcro strap for securing. There is an inside pocket, with pen holders and credit card slots available. I personally would have preferred the pocket moved to the very end of the inside opening. There are to outside pockets as well and these are constructed of the same high quality material. The strap is long and easily adjustable to suit all carry modes. Highly recommend.

This bag is wonderful. I've bought two of them. To address the two complaints I see in the reviews: 1) I haven't noticed a smell other than new leather on either bag, so that must be a random quirk to do with shipping or packing. I've had zero issue with either bag. 2) The color is lighter upon receipt of the bag, but that's because the leather darkens to the color shown in the picture with age. Both of mine started darkening within the first month or so. It also softens with age, so the stiffness doesn't stick around. In terms of durability, I used the first bag for over a year and a half, working full time and going to school full time with an hour round trip commute to each, year round. In other words, I never went home. I packed the bag chock full of text books, a laptop and charger, notebooks, a change of clothes and shoes, and school supplies. I also used it as a carry-on multiple times, and packed it to the brim instead of checking a bag (Side note: it's the exact size of the carry-on measuring basket when you board the plane- PERFECT). There were definitely times where this bag carried 50 lbs of books and tech while getting thrown around a grocery store locker room and lugged up and down the university stairwells. After daily use and abuse for over a year and a half, it wasn't until this August that the stitching began to come undone on the top strap and the welding of one of the metal loops connecting the strap to the body of the bag broke open. It was still usable and the damage didn't seem to progress substantially with continued use, so I kept using it every day for a month. I was actually just going to try to find a place to get it fixed, because I love the bag so much, but my better half surprised me with a new one before I had the time to search out a leather repair shop. This new bag is even sturdier than the first, as the place where the stitching had begun to come loose on the shoulder strap has been redesigned, so there is no seam cutting across the strap, and the metal loops connecting the strap to the body are smaller, therefore distributing the weight of the bag's contents more evenly and consistently. I'm keeping the old one, just in case we go on a trip and both need a nice carry-on. I get compliments on this bag every time I start a new class or job, and I don't think I'd be lying if I said "any time I take it anywhere." Men, women, professors, students, landlords, bankers, what-have-you, all love this bag. It's beautiful, and you really can't beat the price. To be honest, I would be willing to spend $200 on this bag. The quality and look are amazing. and the number of pockets, zippers, and dividers make it unbelievably easy to stay organized. None of you know me, but that's really a massive accomplishment when it comes to me, my brain, and my life.

Excellent item. Very well made and appears to be quite robust although needs purchaser to waterproof. My only low point would be the external pockets aren't quite deep enough for the charger. A stylish and useful item

The bag was packaged beautifully and with great care - the attention to detail is remarkable. The construction feels solid and reliable (I've only just received it so the test will come, but I'm confident). The features, pockets and fixings are excelent. It has a raw leather feel and is a matt finish rather than polished leather so if you are looking for a super-shiny bag this isn't it. But I love it more for that because it will wear and live nicely and end up looking loved and lived-in :)

As my second purchase from the store, my expectations were high due to the quality of the first item. They were met and exceeded. It's a thinner interior than the first one, presumably because the "laptop bag" part of "laptop messenger bag" has more emphasis. That noted, the laptop partition still seems wide enough to fit *two* laptops (or an ancient bulky one), however its length and depth nicely accommodate a 17" laptop - and with enough other (flat) things in the center compartment it's unlikely that bit of wiggle room will matter: it seems sturdier than the last one, i.e. even with the leather aging it should keep its thin shape and solid backing more definitely than the previous one I had.

Derisi kaliteli, dikişler sağlam, görüntü karizmatik, cepler çok işlevsel, büyüklüğü ideal. Tavsiyem: kullanım kolaylığı için kayışlı kilit altına mıknatıslı bir kilit daha süper yapar ürünü.

Bonjour, Je viens tout juste de recevoir ce cartable. Premières impressions : Superbe qualité, du cuir véritable justement d'une qualité très elvée. Le cartable est très bien soignée, et livré dans un sac en tissu qui est en soi très classe. Les boucles sont bien couvertes et enveloppées. L'intérieur est bien fait, et le plus important c'est la bandoulière qui a l'air très durable et confortable. Mon ordinateur de 17 pouces rentre très facilement dans le cartable, ce qui est le plus important pour moi. Je trouve que le sac, selon sa qualité actuelle, vaut beaucoup plus que son prix. Je le recommande et je compte chercher dans leur boutique pour des sacs de voyages. J'espère que vous garderez cette qualité des produits dans le fûtur. Merci
