I dont know how Polare does it, but a leather backpack for this price is super rare. I had my doubts before getting this, I thought it wouldnt be genuine or something synthetic. I can totally assure you this backpack is the real deal. Ive had compliments from everyone at the office, and it looks great with formal attire. Only had it for a couple of months but this thing looks, feels and smells great. If youre on the edge trying to decide, dont think twice. I promise it is completely worth it.

Nice backpack, fits my laptop and other gear in very nicely. I use it as my motorcycle pack, and its really nice. Also gets compliments from folks. The straps tend to loosen a bit while wearing it and walking around, but its manageable. They straps could also be a bit more comfortable, but overall its a very quality product. The leather is nice and its well constructed.

The bag is great value for price. Be ready for loads of complements!

I found the product to be well constructed and just the right size as an everyday bag either as a purse and/or laptop/tablet bag. I use it to carry a 17 inch laptop and 10 inch netbook along with my tablet computers and associated equipment. So far the seams have held up nicely to the weight and the heavy leather outer shell has resisted damage. I would recommended using a padded sheath for each of your computers and tablets for additional shock protection. The liner is a bit thin to the touch but as of this date no tears or wear has been noted after almost a month of daily use.

Delivery was a little late due to purchasing on prime day, but to my surprise it was worth the wait. Move my items from a stuffed standard back pack and had room to spare in a slim functional adult looking backpack. I have already received multiple compliments on my new computer bag where I never received one for my previous backpack. Bag appears very sturdy. I will check back in 4 years and let you know how it is going right Now I am very satisfied with my purchase and the attention I am getting from this function purchase, way to go.

UPDATE AT BOTTOM It seems the manufacturer is listening to these amazon reviews. Mine came with a double zipper on the main pouch, A thicker zipper, too, and velcro on the pouches. BEAUTIFUL bag. High quality. Absolutely love it. Edit: a month later, bag is holding up beautifully. Zero complaints. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Edit 2: Just over a year and a half or so on and unfortunately the bag is no longer usable, that the zipper has shredded itself and I can no longer close the bag, and the long pocket at the top has come unstitched. Very unfortunate because the rest of the bag holds up! The leather is high quality, but the devil is in the details with this...

I received this item promptly and extremely professionally wrapped. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was the exquisite smell of fresh new leather. The bag itself was exactly as designed, many pockets and very roomy inside. The velcro on the pockets is a great idea and keeps them secure. I will use this as my primary travel bag for my computer and carry one as well as daily office use. I highly recommend this bag.

I was looking for a good quality leather backpack / laptop / travel bag to replace all the high school style backpacks. I wanted something with an older, and more rustic and rugged feel to it. This bag is just what I was looking for. Its a very manly bag in my opinion, something Indiana Jones would be proud to take on an expedition. There is plenty of room in the main compartment and it has two dedicated pockets to hold a standard size laptop, and a tablet. Plenty of additional room for a portfolio, headphones, chargers, or an set of clothing. The individual pockets on the outside are functional and can hold a variety of things, chargers, sunglasses in a case, or anything else you can fit in there. Its very sturdy leather and a little stiff though I expect it will loosen and age quite well with time. The handle on top is very sturdy and could certainly hold up under a full load. It looks and feels great carrying it at your side or wearing it on your back. My only complaint is the lack of padding on the shoulder straps. Overall its a great bag, at a good price, and was exactly what I was looking for. Im looking forward to donating my other backpacks to Goodwill.

Can I please just walk into the building where I work without someone stopping me to compliment me/comment on this bag? Im writing this review after having this backpack for approximately 1 week. Here are my thoughts: -First off, for frame of reference, Im 510 215 lbs. You can see how the bag fits my frame in the attached photos. -The dark brown color is amazing and in my opinion is the color to go with. -The leather is stiff and heavy duty and will take some time to break in. -The straps are long enough to let the bag hang low (it looks great this way) or you can wear it high on the back. -The pockets on the front provide wonderful function AND outstanding visual appeal. (yes they have Velcro underneath to secure them and no, the leather straps do not slide out of their metal holders) -The inside has plenty of pockets too (Zippered Pocket, Laptop Pocket, Tablet Pocket, Business Card Pocket, Receipt Pockets, Pen & Pencil Loops, etc.) -The side pockets are perfect for a 24 oz. Hydroflask Water Bottle on one side (see photos) and a medium-sized umbrella on the other (again, see photos) -There is plenty of space inside for magazines, my eyeglass case, a rain coat, AND a light-weight Packable Down Jacket -I was caught in the rain one day and the water did not stain the leather. (I wiped my pack off once I got in the car and it was fine) Now for the compliments... -The very first day I wore it to work...a guy stopped me as I was heading in the front door of my office building and said, Thats a great back pack. - The second day I wore it...just before leaving work, I went to the restroom. I had my back pack on while standing at the urinal and a guy comes in and says, Thats an amazing backpack! It looks like something youd wear to go climbing or something. -The third day I wore it, I was standing in the elevator with 2 guys and 3 women. One of the women said, I need to get my husband one of those...its so cool. -I could go on and on about the comments Ive received. Just know this, YOU WILL GET COMMENTS! So get used to it. In summary, I looked at all sorts of backpacks prior to choosing to go with this one. If you want a traditional black backpack like every other person in the world has, then by all means go get one of those. However if youre looking for a special piece of leather kit that will turn heads, make you feel great while wearing it AND get better with time, then buy this bag. You wont regret it.

I bought this backpack because I usually carry two laptops and an iPad, plus all the power cords/bricks for those devices. As with most commuters there are a number of other items I carry daily for convenience, and there is ample space for all of it. The reason for 4 stars for traveling is that when loaded with my equipment, the straps tend to slip open and I find myself constantly tightening them. It works better with both straps over my shoulder, I usually have the issue when using it as a shoulder bag/pack. I would highly recommend this product, it is gorgeous and very durable.
