KPL 18 INCH Leather Briefcase Laptop Messenger Bag Satchel Office computer bag for men and women (18 INCH)

For a bag at this price point, I am very impressed. The zippers and stitching seem top notch, and the leather is beautiful quality. There was no smell as others have indicated. And all the buckles, zippers, metal came individually wrapped in Styrofoam/plastic so they were perfect no scuffs. The interior of the bag is a more matte forest green, not a brighter green as some of the pictures in other reviews had (I like my color better). The bag will stand up on its own. The storage space is unbelievable, and well organized, with an additional zipper compartment on the back, and 2 under the flap. My only gripe about the bag is they needed another 1-2 holes punched in the straps of the main flap. But I can do that myself at some point. The only thing left to see now is durability; I just hope the handle holds up and can handle the weight of my daily commute (laptop, charger, lockable hard case case for documents).

I’ve been torn since getting the bag between being critical of the workmanship (glued-together thin leathers, frayed/broken stitches, thin pinch points in the leather I’m afraid will eventually work themselves into holes, etc), and being happy with how it’s construction works well with what I need. For example, the main compartment has two zipper heads that can be locked together with a thin travel lock, something I need to do for my job. There is also ample room inside with 3 compartments, a place to store pens/pencils on the inside front, a sleeve in the inside-back that’s perfect for a 15-16” laptop, and another exterior sleeve on the outside that can hold a notebook. The actual bag when I received it was very orange; when I tried moisturizing it the cream (Saphir product) didn’t seem to penetrate at all, and some kind of coating on the leather beaded up into small sticky balls leaving me to believe there’s something sprayed atop this to (I’m guessing?) repel water before it leaves the factory. If you are looking for high-quality full grain leather, this is not it but is glued-together thin pieces of leather. The threads are in many places fraying already (I purchased it only 5 days ago) and I expect that to get worse with time, but honestly? I still kind of like the bag because it’s setup is what I’ve been looking for. Hopefully this lasts longer than the cheap canvas case I had before, I’ll update how it goes in a year or so!

I do service work and carry small tools, small parts and paper work. The bag is handsome with strong hardware and plenty of pockets. I did change the shoulder strap for a heavier one--the buckle in the middle of the one supplied made it insecure with the 12 pounds i carry. I am very pleased with this bag.

great bag. Durable, plenty of pockets and it can handle a LOT of weight. Holds my 15.6 dell with ease, along with my iPad and a bunch of other things. Would have been a 5 star review if the seller had mentioned the smell in the description. This bag has a VERY STRONG leather smell, and not the pleasant new car leather; Its a smell i can only describe as farm leather. The bag comes with an insert that explains that the smell fades within weeks, which (luckily) seems to be true. Its been a few weeks and the smell has diminished significantly, although it still is pretty strong. At work i share an office and have had to keep the bag in an air-tight drawer else face the wrath of my co-workers. The smell is so strong that it can fill an entire room with ease! A few handfuls of drier sheets have helped things a LOT and i can now consider that, in the near future, a day will arrive when i can actually keep this beautiful satchel in plain sight during the day. Smell aside, its an amazing bag. Very sturdy, practical and good looking. I am very satisfied.

Amazing product. Very happy with my purchase.

This is the second item Ive ordered from Komals Passion Leather. I recognized the name and I immediately chose a bag from this small company versus the other 3 I had in my cart that I liked the look of - because I already KNEW the quality if Kormals would be 5 stars. He puts SO MUCH thought into every single detail that you cant not help noticing and being impressed. All, I mean even the zippers!, of the metal clasps on the bag were individually wrapped so as not to damage the leather. Normal also sent a personal letter explaining the process of how he created the bag, and the best way to take care of it. Again - I am one highly satisfied customer! Ima stalk him on the IG too because Im obsessed with the beautiful craftmanship. Thank you!

Craftsman is good

I absolutely love this. It’s everything and more than I expected. Very good craftsmanship and very well made. I love the thick leather and the leather smell isn’t strong at all. It holds my 17.3” Laptop perfectly and has lots of pockets and dividers right where they need to be. It even has a zipper pocket on the outside back of the satchel. It came with a personally signed letter. One of my favorite parts is that the leather was hand tanned in the sun using only vegetable oils. There are zero chemicals used. I’m so impressed. Get it now before the price goes up it’s so worth every Penny. It’s perfect. It’s now November and Here’s my update. I’ve had no problems at all. I’ve had a lot of compliments and the bag has remained supple and will stand on its own still. It’s perfect and the cost is better than most. I am still 110% satisfied.

I received my bag today and it is beautiful and feels sturdy. It fits my work laptop perfectly and has plenty of compartments for notepads and pens and other things. The bag is lighter than pictured but the note sent with it explains that it will darken over time. I am very happy with my purchase.

As most other reviews have said, the bag is amazing. It is not perfect leather perfectly engineered, cut and sewn by machine in mass quantities making every bag identical; it is hand-tanned, hand cut and hand sewn making every bag slightly different, and giving the bag a very hand-made look and feel. It is perfectly imperfect. I also love the nice looking, solid hardware that is well-attached, even the quick-release buckles hidden under the straps. What blew me away though was while removing the bag from its protective cloth packaging, I found a very personal and heartfelt letter from Komal describing the bag, its care, and thanking me for purchasing a product that he obviously takes much pride in, and humbly asking me to please take the time to rate his product with 5 stars or contact him directly so he can correct his shortcomings and do whatever is necessary to earn that rating. I see NO shortcomings in Komals beautiful leather bag nor in his excellent service. Fine work and service, Komal; keep up the good work and you will go far! Thank you very much!
