KPL Vintage 15 Inch Laptop Messenger Bag briefcase Satchel laptop bag for Men and Women

What a bargain, Arrived as a well packaged actual quality built leather product. This old farmer detected a faint leather smell, and maybe a leather conditioner like saddle soap or mink oil. From past experiences with fine leather I know the trace of the fragrance wont last long. Besides, quality leather product like good boots and saddles need to be treated with saddle soap or mink oil occasionally to remain soft, pliable and looking good. QUALITY LEATHER,QUALITY BUCKLES, QUALITY STICHES/SEWING and I count 9 compartments of different sizes. This man will not be embarrassed to carry this bag with his laptop any where, retaining an intact Man Card.

The bag is really nice! It truly stands out. I did notice an initial smell but that quickly went away after a few days. I would definitely order this again and order many more bags from Komal. The only issue I had is that the bag that was sent to me was not the bag that is pictured here. I chose the bag specifically because it had removable straps. Mine came with straps that I couldnt remove. I contacted Komal and Amazon but they wanted me to return the bag and wait for the refund and reorder the bag. I decided not to do that because I for one needed the bag immediately for work and could not go bagless for a couple of days. I also didnt want to risk getting another wrong bag or lower quality bag. Im content with my bag and still support Komal 100% Pens, 15 Macbook Pro, 12.9 iPad Pro, Glasses in case, Travel Planner, cables, usb thumb drives.....THIS THING HOLDS EVERYTHING!

I bought a Komals bag about 2 years ago https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQ6L5TI/ and was very impressed with the value. Its a GREAT bag. That bag is a bit larger than I need. Its almost a overnight or travel bag and so I started poking around at something more in the messenger size here in Amazon. But you know, buying online bags and researching all the options can seem like a chore, so I finally came back to Komal and pulled the trigger on this one (and for the price its hard to go wrong). This new bag came today and I am really really pleased. The strap is removable which in my opinion looks a little more professional in some settings. The size is perfect for what I was looking for. The new bag has snaps and it still retains it vintage look and feel. Its stiff enough that it stands up when placed on the ground and has a appealing texture. The leather is not greasy or too stiff either. I would caution folks to be thoughtful in the bag size they want. My 13 mac book air fits fine and I can throw in a notepad, a novel and some other things. But if you are thinking of 15+ laptop, Ipad, glasses, chargers, and your lunch, you might be too ambitious. It does not have a million external pockets like some bags; however, the trade off is a classy, minimalist look. Im very pleased. A great great value and perhaps Komal should start raising his prices :-)

Thank you Komal Chaudhari for crafting such a beautiful product. The package arrived undamaged, thank you Amazon. The bag was not wrapped once but TWICE! 1st a clear plastic wrap then a thin cotton bag that I will keep for storage. Upon opening the bag I did notice a smell but not over powering like some of the previous reviews stated but lets face it, its a LEATHER bag. I never heard of someone saying a leather store stunk just because.. I was very impressed with the stitching right off the bat and I mean throughout the entire bag inside and out. For anyone who is looking at the other 30+ bags on Amazon save yourself the time and purchase a Komal Passion Leather bag for quality per price. I am very impressed with the bag as a whole. The bag did come with a detachable/adjustable strap for around the shoulders which is again... amazing craftsmanship. I want to thank the Passion Leather team and hat off to you Komal Chaudhari. P.S I appreciate the hand signed note and care instructions for the bag.

This bag came with a slip of paper in it that told the story of how it was made. I was fascinated with how it came to be made and sewn by hand! It’s really great to know where things you buy come from. And this bag was just perfect for my computer’s size and also for protecting it. I love the mountains and the minute I saw this bag, I knew it was everything I was looking for for my computer. I used it to take my computer to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and I received so many compliments. It was nice to know my computer was safely tucked away where it was fully protected. I have a 15” computer and this fits perfectly. It also comes with a detachable strap that is really convenient to throw over your shoulder. The best part (or at least one of the best parts) is having so many pockets! There’s a bunch of space to put things and I am in constant need to have so many different things when I’m out and about. The other cool thing is how much the patina of the leather has changed. It was beautiful when it came and now that I’ve used it a few months, it is stunning! The colors have just gotten more aged and polished. It is a wonderful bag. Nice and stiff but flexible and protective all at once!!! Thank you for such a wonderful product! Keep up the good work!

I do love this bag. But it smells. Have used it on a couple trips but am totally self-conscious that it has a strong odor when traveling. Bought it. It stunk. Put it on the back porch for a few days. It still stunk. Very cool retro styling and the price point was a steal. Ive had this bag for a few months now, want to use the heck out of it but... it still smells. I really want to give this 5 stars.

I was optimistic after reading the reviews prior to making this purchase. I was only a little concerned that I may receive a different bag than what was ordered, or a variation of what was described, based on some reviews. Particularly regarding the detachable shoulder strap. I got EXACTLY what I ordered though and am very happy about it. It, of course, had the expected leather aroma - which duh, its leather and was just packaged in plastic and a box and shipped across the country. This did dissipate over a few weeks and was never overpowering or offensive, to begin with. KPL did send a very nicely written letter with care instructions as well, which addresses that you should expect this. I do work from home and mostly purchased this bag for the occasions that I am working elsewhere or traveling back home and need to bring my laptop with me. I cant attest to sturdiness since I havent really put it to the test, but it appears to be sturdy at least. A lot of the reviews I read commented that they felt that there was a ton of space in the bag and listed three dozen objects they can fit into it at the same time.. I will say that there isnt as much space as a lot of reviewers have convinced themselves exist - but thats actually ok with me. If you add too much space, you just keep filling it up. This helps me keep the bag not overburdened with junk I dont need to carry. I purchased this particular bag because of the size of my laptop, and I will note that its a snug fit. But I prefer that as well because my laptop isnt getting tossed around as I walk or travel with it. One interesting construction note I had was that the buckles on the front flap of the bag arent actually the same. Theyre very similar, and nobodys going to notice but me unless I call attention to it. This is not at all a problem for me, and if anything I kind of like that it makes my bag unique for me. Overall, if you need an adult, professional appearing bag then this is an ideal purchase.

I can’t say enough good things about this briefcase. It looks fantastic, with a classic old-school style that’s a perfect antidote to the same old black nylon bags everyone else carries. It feels great, has plenty of pockets and document dividers, and is just the right size for a small to medium laptop and accessories. This particular one is somewhat smaller than the average briefcase, but that was perfect for me - less is more. And the item was packaged with obsessive care in a really nice satin bag, along with a hand-signed letter from Komal. I’d buy this again in a second, and in fact it’ll be on my short list of gifts to give.

Im impressed with the quality,the look of the leather part but not satisfied with a few other things. 1) very hard to stand the smell from the leather. 2) knuckles stick out and it may hurt someone. 3) shoulder strap are two pieces hooked together and shoulder pad is too short. I would like to pay $20 more if they can make the strap as one piece and make higher quality knuckles.
