22-11-2024The family member I bought this for still raves about it a year after receiving it- and they are extremely picky! The space and style are a great combo! Holds up well, too. Highly recommend!

> 3 dayI got a new computer at work, a Dell 7730 laptop that measures 10.8 x 16.3 x 1.2, which wouldnt fit in the old messenger bag Id been using. I have a roller computer bag that I use on trips but it was a bit much for daily use, so I looked for a larger messenger bag and found this KPL one. Ive been using it for about two weeks now and am pleased with it. My computer just fits in it. Its a tight enough fit that I cant easily slide the computer in one-handed. However, getting my computer in and out seems easier, either because the bag is looser or because Im more used to it. I like that the bag stands up on its own. My old smaller messenger bag, which I loved, couldnt sit standing up. This bag can sit by my desk, ready for me to put my computer it in when I leave my office. Its a very big bag, and I really use it only to carry my computer from my home to my car to my office and back. I keep a few other things in it, including a small umbrella, but I dont try to put a power adapter in, preferring to have one at work and one at home. For true road warrior trips, Ill revert to the roller bag. I like that the shoulder strap is removable. I took the padding piece off the strap because for me the piece was too wide to be comfortable, and I prefer just using the strap without it. With my computer loaded the bag does bounce uncomfortably off my hip as I walk, so I do keep a hand on the front of the strap to restrain the bag, something I didnt really have to do with my older smaller bag. The quick releases on the front are essential and work fine. I saw some people asked questions about this, and yes, at least on my bag, there are two quick releases on the front of the bag that are usually hidden behind the buckle straps connected to the top of the bag. I did adjust those buckle straps on my bag to use the closest hold to the top, and the top does seem a bit lose but not enough for me to bother punching another set of holes. That there are two straps is something else Ive had to get used to — my old smaller bag had only one, which was more convenient — but given the size of this bag and that it carries larger heaver items, I understand why two are necessary. One more thing about the quick releases — I took a photo of one to upload with this review, and looking at the photo I noticed that the bracket on the quick release already looks banged up. It doesnt really come into contact with anything except leather, so I dont know why its so banged up, not that it really matters since its hidden most of the time. I didnt spend nearly as much on this bag as on my old bag and got it only because of my new computer, but for the price its a good bag.

> 3 dayArrived today, and I loaded it up with my college books. It has ample space. The bag itself is very nice leather, and it has the feel of durability to it. When you use this bag, you will feel prestigious. It has that classy, you know this is gonna last you look to it. Definitely the quality of a multi hundred dollar bag. Whoever made this, has good craftmanship.

> 3 dayExcellent product! Color was a little lighter but the literature included says the color will darken over time. Ive had mine a couple months and it has indeed darkened a bit. Only couple small items of note: 1 - the buckles were all covered in a sticky film. Several other reviews mention it as well. 2- there was a seam in the leather which also had the sticky film around it. Must be some type of glue residue. Im not sure. Everyone always comments on how great this bag is. I love the quick release buckles. There is a lot of room in the bag, almost too much room. I had to go this big to accommodate the size of my laptop but I do wish it was a bit thinner sometimes. I would recommend this product for anyone wanting a beautiful carrying case for a laptop.

> 3 dayI read the review and was a bit unsure of the quality, but with a good return policy, I decided to take a chance. The bag was very well packed to ensure it arrived undamaged. The leather is good quality and thick. The canvas inside the bag is sturdy and looks great. As noted, the color is a bit bright, not quite orange, but that is what you get with minimally processed real leather. I bought a bottle of leather honey and applied it, it looks fantastic, at least I love the color. As it use it and it gets broken in, I am sure the color with continue to get richer. My only critique is for the band of leather around the flap. It would have been nice had it been one continuous piece, you can see where the pieces over lap, but it Is certainly not a flaw, just a suggestion should a redesign be considered. Again, this bag is definitely built to last and great quality at a very good price. I would buy it again, though I am pretty sure I will never have to. The pictures attached are my actual bag taken with my iPad, but to the eye, the bag is definitely darker. The water spots did come with the bag, but I am ok with them as I want it to look broken in, I imagine it will get more so with use. The seller included a very nice note, with a real signature!, stating he would replace this bag if I was unhappy with it, so I am sure that had this been an issue, it could have been resolved easily. This is a real review, I paid full price for this item and am getting nothing in return for this posting.

17-11-2024Received the bag and was somewhat apprehensive about the potential for a bad smell, however, no bad smell. There is a natural odor that all natural leather products have as a result of the tanning process. The odor on this bag is slight and not offensive and I fully expect it to fade with time as all of my other leather products have. Bag is made of heavy natural leather and the stitching was strong and attractive. The hardware appeared to be solid and the quick releases on the main flap is an excellent feature adding to the usability of the bag. There is an outer zipper compartment on the bag of the bag and the main compartment is closed by a double zipper which appears to be solid and well made. I am very pleased with the bag. I will update this review as I conttnue to use the bag to more fully address the durability.

> 3 dayIn a year where its easy to be negative - this bag was a bright spot. It arrived a day earlier than estimated - and the surprises kept coming. I was amazed at how well it was packaged. Aside from multiple layers of plastic, it had a protective fiber bag encapsulating it. The leather is beautiful. The bag looks fantastic. Its distressed finish is amazing. Ive seen a number of these types of bags and one wonders what dumpster they dug it out of. Not this one. Aside from all the beautiful leather, it has a nice internal fabric that seems to perfectly complement the style. The bag feels roomy without looking huge. So much care was paid to ensure that it arrived in mint condition. EVERY metal item - buckles, zippers, clasps, and rivet - had foam, tape or plastic (or a combination of all of them) to ensure that the leather was not marked by the metal during shipment. Im just so impressed. I just keep thinking that I found the best value of 2020. Awarding five stars just somehow feels inadequate.

> 3 dayThis bag is really nice and seems to be a good quality for the price. The shoulder strap is a little smaller and flimsier than I would like. The part that should support and rest on your shoulder flows freely and doesn’t stay in place. Aside from that it’s what we needed.
