Laptop Leather Messenger Bag

TL:DR? This is a great messenger bag, but be warned, it can be quite heavy by itself (due to being made from genuine leather). The Skinny: This is a large, genuine leather messenger bag with a wide array of compartments and features a snap able, hand carry strap and cushioned shoulder strap for ease of use. There are four large, wide, and deep buckle front compartments: two on the front and one on each side. A front zipper pocket allows for thinner items to remain secured while the main compartment features a laptop/tablet pocket (with a cushioned protector), two holders for pens (or pen like items), four (4) card slots, a cellphone pocket (or other, large, bulky things), and an inner zipper compartment. There’s also plenty of room to fit just about anything, including a change of clothes, shaving kit, and extra pair of shoes/insoles if need be (lots of room). Features double zippers in the even one breaks. There are 5 metal feet on the bottom of the bag and the shoulder strap is detachable for easy storage. The Use: This is great. It smells like leather (manly), and have a very nice feel to it. It is both sturdy, yet workable and the buckle straps are easy to use. In the event you need to pull something out in a jiffy, they might not be the best pocket to put something in, but they hold quite a lot and there’s four of them, so plenty of room for storing things. The front zipper pocket is nice for a quick slip of something, like a e-reader or important document; keeping them in easy reach. The pen, card, and phone pockets on the inside are all nice (and becoming more standard), but I REALLY love the laptop pouch. It’s cushioned so there’s no fear of it getting knocked or bumped around and it velcro’s closed, so no fear of it falling out. It’s nice that there’s also a discreet, inner zipper pocket for anything else you might need (keys, ID card, Kleenex, etc.) and the wide main compartment allows for the storage of plenty of folders, papers, or even a spare change of clothes if need be (so it’s business trip friendly). The handles have a snap closure for easy carry and it included a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with a well padded and wide brace. My only gripe is that the bag looks sleek, swanky, masculine, and business savvy, but the shoulder strap feels out place; more military looking and not quite a color match/doesn’t go with it in the least bit. +Pros: +Genuine leather +Large size messenger bag +Plenty of compartments/storage +Laptop and card/pen/phone sleeves +Comes with a shoulder strap -Cons: -Can be quite heavy by itself (due to being genuine leather) -Shoulder strap doesn’t match/feels out of place (not a favorite) Overall, this is a great bag that fits all my needs and should hold up to extensive use. 5 out of 5 stars. The shoulder strap is starting to grow on me.
