Clava Drawstring Backpack

Clava Drawstring Leather BackpackI ordered this because I wanted a backpack that I could carry all of my textbooks in with out having to replace it every two years like my others. It just came in and is a beautiful supple leather that look like it will hold up for many semesters to come. It is a very spacious bag that can easily hold my 15 inch laptop easily with room for extra binders as well. All in all a great bag at an exceptional price.

Inland Pro 15.6-Inch Notebook Bag, Black (02438)

Inland Pro 15.6-Inch Notebook Bag, BlackThe case has plenty of room for a 15.6" laptop. It's compact like neoprene laptop sleeves, but additionally has a nice handle. (It also doesn't smell like neoprene, which is fortunate.) It has a small zippered pocket to fit the power cord.

I purchased this bag for a spare laptop that I use for vacation travel. It works for everything that I need. It seems to be well padded and I have not had any problems.

Buy Inland Pro 15.6-Inch Notebook Bag, Black (02438) Now

This case has two strong points:

+ It's unassuming and perhaps less likely to invite theft. I could see using it instead of a "sleeve" when pulling my laptop out of my backpack through airport security.

+ It doesn't have any frills, which help keep down bulk and weight (I don't need a charger pocket for my short cafe trips). Even the handle is unpadded, thin nylon webbing.

It only has one serious negative:

DANG could you possibly make it any "cheaper" looking? Or cheaper feeling, with the flimsy (but adequately strong and secure) handles?

Although if I had a choice between an overbuilt Targus etc. bag and this one, I guess I'd still stick with this one. My present use is just a way to carry a larger laptop (15.6") to a cafe when I don't want to move all my stuff out of my smaller, every day carry, bike messenger bag to a daypack with a 15.6" laptop slot. I sure don't want to be carrying my laptop under my arm, looking for a way to slip out and destroy itself, so for quick and dirty trips to the cafe, this Inland Pro is perfect. Even a shoulder strap would be too much, handles are enough for this purpose.

If you want to know where my source of dissatisfaction comes from, go to an Apple Store and check out the Incase "Sling" line of very minimalist cases for the Macbook Pro series. Those fit SNUG and look SHARP. The handles are padded, but efficiently slim, and hide away in clever little slots if you want to use this as a "case" and not mini-attache (they even include shoulder straps).

So why didn't I spend the extra 35 bucks or so to get one of the Incase CL57715 Nylon Sling Sleeve for MacBook Pro 13", Black for my laptop?

Well Incase doesn't make a line for 15.6" Windows laptops, perhaps because in the Windows world even laptops with the same screen size can vary quite a bit in thickness, depth, and width (that probably explains the "loose" fit on this Inland Pro on my 15.6" Windows laptop). A 15" InCase Sling definitely won't fit my 15.6" laptop, nor will any of the neoprene sleeves, Chrome messenger bag sleeves, or other nifty 15" Macbook sleeves that I have tried to date.

So at least this Inland Pro I bought fits more like a sleeve and less that a slightly oversize, floppy bag, right?

NOPE, it has about 1.5 inches of left to right slack and almost 2" of top and bottom slack with my current design (AMD Fusion E300 powered) Compaq 15.6" laptop. The Compaq is slightly thinner than a 3 year old 15.6" laptop I also have (but MUCH lighter) but still that much slack on each side is disappointing, and means the laptop won't fit in a 15.6" daypack/travel pack laptop slot IF the Inland Pro case is on it. Which forces me to use a daypack/travel pack with a 17.3" slot, or to dump the laptop in the Inland Pro into the main compartment, where it won't ride "suspended" by the neat suspension laptop slot that newer packs come with (much better against "setdown" shocks).

In short, this is one of those products where you will have to make one of three choices: wait to see it in person to see if it fits snugly enough for you to use as a case (or loosely enough to stuff in a charger); order with a 50-50 risk of returning it for being "not as expected," or just order it, keep it, and find SOME use for it (if only to keep dust off your laptop). YMMV, since your laptop size (in the Windows world) probably DOES vary.

BTW, Inland Pro materials quality, from a functional but not appearance standpoint, is first-rate; and finish (quality of sewing etc.) is also first rate. This just won't win any design awards or dazzle with it's clever minimalism. This is _cheap_ minimalism!

This is a really basic laptop bag, but if you are looking for a good value, this is it. It does have some padding and fits my 15.6 inch screen nicely. Best deal I could find for a laptop bag out there.

I ordered the item yesterday 7/23/2012, and it already arrived this morning. Now for $9.00 I was not having any high standards, but this product is exactly what I needed, nothing too bulky or material heavy, the design is perfect, and seems very durable. Would purchase another one and reccomend this item.

Jill-e Designs E-GO Tablet Messenger (Black Plaid)

Jill-e Designs E-GO Tablet MessengerI had been looking at this bag for a long time, and finally ordered it. It came today, and I have to say that I am not impressed. The bag is different than pictured. In the picture, under the flap, there are two pockets. The bag I got only has one large one. Also, the strap to hold in the iPad is way too long. The bag appears to be well made and sturdy. I am sure it would hold up just fine and last a long time. I have not decided if I will be sending it back. I expected more pockets, and at that price, I want the bag to have everything that it shows in the photo. Even the tag lists pockets that are not there.

Tumi Luggage Dror Backpack

Tumi Luggage Dror Backpack, Onyx, MediumPurchased this backpack about a week ago in a Duty Free in South Korea. It cost me US$ 577.

I had wanted to buy this bag for over a year now. But because of its price was a bit reluctant whether I really need one that expensive.

Started using it just right after the receiving from DF counter.

It a nice backpack. Like the function that you can carry it with a handle from the tope and side.

it is very convenient.

Cons. Because it is deep, would expect to have more separate compartments.

So, if you, like me, travel with a lot of smaller objects in your backpack then be prepared to have some elastic container, so you stuff could be neatly placed and retrieved.

When buying please remember that it is a piece of luxury not a typical backpack. So it the price.

As for me, I am happy.

I like this review that was posted on a original Tumi's website.

http://www.tumi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12559542&prodFindSrc=paramNav#ReviewHeader

Almost returned it but decided to keep it for short, light overnight trips or carry-on bag for longer trips. It is nice looking & well made but too costly for its utility.

High Sierra Curve Backpack

High Sierra Curve BackpackT'he product is great! It's durable, light, and has many compartments inside. The beverage holder on the side has a very strong elastic that firmly holds any drink. However, the space is limited in that it only has the capacity to store a 1-inch binder, a notebook, and possibly two medium size textbooks. If you carry more than this material on a daily basis, do not purchase the backpack. Otherwise, this backpack is pretty good!.

It's a high quality backpack, it has 3 sections and there is a huge space in the side which I can put a bottle of water and my umbrella.

Really LOVE it!

Buy High Sierra Curve Backpack Now

I needed a close fitting pack that would allow me to care for my toddler (playing and carrying her) and carry all necessities, but not so bulky that I would be knocking into people with it. The size and shape of this pack is perfect for my '5"4 frame, especially as my "personal item" when flying. I can easily hold all our daily necessities (diapers, snacks, stuffed animals, etc.), plus our coats, a tablet, books, a baby carrier. I'm still left with plenty of room for anything else. The phone/mp3 pocket on the strap is a very convenient feature. The material is sturdy, but the bag is still very light when empty. The organizer in the front compartment could use a zippered pocket, but it's fine. It also would have been nice for there to be some sort of pocket or divider in the main back compartment so you don't have to fish around for items. I keep frequently accessed items (wallet, keys, sunglasses) the outside zippered pocket BC it's so deep I don't worry about someone reaching in and swiping my wallet, etc. A nice pack for the money.

I'm retired and bought this for an easy, already packed, "quick trip" grab-n-go bag. Perfect!! Each of the 3 zippered areas are well arranged for clothing or toiletries or pads/tablets.

The straps are comfortably padded and easily adjustable.

Very lightweight.

And has the look of "fun".

Going to college in a week I still needed a backpack and I took a leap of faith in buying this one. It is great sturdy and looks nice. I didn't want a backpack that was too big or too small and this was the right pick. It fits my books and the water bottle compartment is nice too.

Big Tag Luggage Tag

Big Tag Luggage TagI was given these tags as a HS graduation present a long time ago and lost them in the move after college graduation. So glad they're still in stock. Great colors! Easy to spot my bag at the airport. Thanks!

No matter what luggage I'm bringing with me, I always put a Big Tag on it. I've been on so many trips where people have commented how easy it is to spot my luggage because of these tags on them. Mine are spotted from far off, when other people are seeking out their bags amongst the hundreds of similar tags.

Big Tag for Luggage Note that I don't actually write my personal information on the back of the tag. I like to keep my information more private, and keep my information in a sealed tag on the outside. I also put my business card inside the luggage in case the tag gets ripped off completely. This big tag is solely for spotting the bag, identifying it as mine. It's not about having my information on the bag for others :)

I've never had the big tag ripped off or torn or missing, which has definitely happened with many other tags I use. So this is a great, sturdy identification piece that is very helpful on all of your bags.

Highly recommended!

This tag is extremely noticeable. It makes your luggage impossible to overlook even after a 14 hour flight. Highly recommended.

Mountainsmith Spectrum Recycled Camera Backpack

Mountainsmith Spectrum Recycled Camera Bag, BlackThis is a great bag. Very durable and very comfy. This bag fits everything I need to travel. My huge 17" screen laptop, my camera with battery grip and 18-200 lens attached, two spare lenses, all my chargers and cables, and even has enough space for a pair of yoga pants, flip flops and my makeup bag.

It's a big bag and I am a short person but it is not so big that it overwhelms my small frame. I'm a big fan!

This is an all-in-one backpack. I just got it this week and it surpassed my expectations.

It is a 23L volume, which I believe is the perfect size for short traveling / day trips. It is not bulky at all.

It is really well built, with good padding, and have roomy and separated top and bottom compartments

Its bottom camera compartment is well built and fits my Canon 400D with a 18-200mm with room for an additional small lens and some filters. The top compartment is as roomy as the bottom one.

When not carrying my camera it is perfect for everything else. It has its separated laptop compartment. The separation for the top and bottom compartments can be open, making it a very spacious regular backpack.

Cons:

No waist harness strap

The 2 water bottle side pockets are a bit small

Buy Mountainsmith Spectrum Recycled Camera Backpack Now

I've owned the Mountainsmith Spectrum for a week now and would like to share my first impression about it backpack.

I'm an amateur photographer/professional graphic designer who owns a fair share of camera bags from companies like Lowepro, Tamrac, and Crumpler. The Mountainsmith Spectrum is my first camera/laptop combo bag.

I've been carefully searching for the right bag that would allow me to carry my 15 inch 2010 Macbook Pro and a Canon 7D paired with a 16-35 L lens. My research stopped when I came across the Spectrum. I was in REI when I came across it. When I finally purchased the bag, the first thing I did was take everything out of my laptop bag and swapped it all into the Spectrum. Goodness! This bag has A LOT of room. In the top compartment, I was able to safely zip it up containing 4 portable hard drives, 2 Naked SSD drives, 7 USB & Firewire cables, Sony in ear headphones, (Small) Wacom tablet, 2 Kingston memory card readers, a GOPRO Hero 2, and a portable USB backup power with a lot more room to spare. My MBP slipped into the laptop compartment nice and snug (The WeatherProof zipper housing is an excellent touch).

Now, the camera compartment is where things get a little touchy and is probably why I'm not completely thrilled with this backpack.

The Camera compartment only seems to be able to hold my Canon 7D with 16-35L lens and 2 extra batteries.

I can't seem to fit anything else and probably wouldn't want to considering how stuffed the compartment is with the camera in. The padding pieces are very sturdy which makes me confident that they are doing their job to protect my camera. The Canon 7D is much smaller than my Canon 5D so I doubt I'll be able to fit it in the compartment.

This backpack wasn't purchased to fit my entire arsenal of camera goodies. I simply wanted a backpack combo where I can store my laptop and a single camera body and single lens and bring it to work with me everyday. The Spectrum definitely takes care of this.

I gave this product 4 stars because of the zipper area leading to the camera compartment. The way that the compartment is situated makes it very difficult to get the zipper opened and closed. It's like a tug-of-war battled each and every time I have to get in there. A nice little trick is to flip the zipper hood over itself, hold (with pressure) one end of the zipper mouth and zip away. I'm planning on ordering a battery grip for my 7D. I'll see if my camera will fit with in this compartment with it.

I decided to get the Spectrum over the Borealis because of size. The spectrum looks and feels like a backpack you would wear to school or on a short hike while the Borealis and the Parallax look like full on-set/shoot backpacks which I already own. I wanted something with a smaller footprint.

With this bag being only a week old, I understand that I need to spend more time with it and see if the zippers need to be worn in a bit. I'll update my review in anything changes.

All in all, this is a wonderful and comfy bag when it's full and on my back. I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants to carry around a day-shoot camera and their laptop+accessories.

Thanks for reading.

The backpack is very well made. It comfortably fits my 14in laptop, nikon dslr and zoom lense. It also has a decent size compartment for daytrip items (ie light jacket, books, brown lunch bag and other personal items) and a smaller compartment with various organizational pockets and a waterproof (I think) pocket for passports and keys. The camera section does open slightly awkward; however, since I typically have my camera out well before picture time, I don't have a problem the slightly cumbersome camera zippers. Overall, I am very satisfied and would recommend it to people who use it for day trips and such (even shortterm travel since it also fits a laptop).

Want Mountainsmith Spectrum Recycled Camera Backpack Discount?

I have lots and lots of luggage. But having finally invested in a DSLR I wanted to be sure that I had a practical way to shlep it around both to kids soccer games and on long trips.

I didnt really like the idea of a traditional camera bag (too much like a purse) but wanted to be able to carry at least one extra lens. I did a fair bit of research on backpacks and would up buying this one.

No regrets whatsoever this has been awesome. Given that I am not a pro there is plenty of space for a few extra lenses and accessories, but importantly I can also carry a bunch of other stuff, really pleased with how this is designed.

Also very well put together this is a well made, pretty tough backpack that has been on planes, hikes, and the like. No long wilderness treks yet but I am happy with the quality.

Skylander's Giants Suitcase

Skylander's Giants SuitcaseAppearance: A (On Top)

Function: A (Hasn't been on a plane yet.)

Overall: C (Tacky Film Included)

This suitcase is well made, but is unfortunately spoiled by poor assembly methods. See additional photos! The underside of the suitcase has a protective film that needs to be pulled off. This is typical of hard sided luggage and usually presents no problem. The film on this bag is too thin and becomes a messy issue where it extends under the hardware and rubber gasket where the zipper is mounted. I'm very disappointed that they didn't just use the normal strength of film or apply it properly and none of this would have been an issue. On the upside of things, there isn't any film on the top of the suitcase.

Otherwise this suitcase is well made. I did not buy this from Amazon or any of their suppliers, but suspect they are all manufactured the same way. This was a colossal disappointment and will look the way you see it in the photos, until you have a good hour to two hours to completely remove the film. The film was not on the front of the product, just the back. I'm guessing that the Disney Brand of Hey's luggage for kids doesn't have this issue. But they don't make one for Skylanders. If I figure out a better way to remove the film, I will update my review.

In conclusion, if you are willing to spend the time to remove the film completely this can become a quality looking suitcase. My son doesn't have the patience and I am usually short on time. My son's bag will most likely stay this way.

UPDATE: My Dad was kind enough to make a "movie watching project" out of this suitcase and it's almost perfect now. At least I wouldn't be embarrassed to take it to the airport. With time, patience, a box knife and a plastic tool shaped like a pen (used to open iPhones..I think he said) it cleaned up well. He cut the plastic under the gaskets and trim and then used the plastic tool to scrape away the plastic film that was left behind.

I like it.... but found it cheaper for $ 43.99. Was going to return it, but I thought by the time I returned it , it would total out what I spent for it.

Want Hartmann Aviator Backpack Discount?

Admittedly this review is published after an extended period of time from my original purchase, however I felt it important to give the feedback to any prospective buyers. The bag itself is fine, quality and style is better than average. I used the bag on one trip ( actually had it out of the box for three days) before i decided that it wasn't as versatile as I had expected and wasn't crazy about the color. I had chosen the bag for some short international trips, but found that it wasn't very functional.

As a result I decided to return the bag and ask for a refund. It was about a week later that that I was notified of my refund, only then did I learn that the refund was $150 less than I expected. It turns out there is a 'restocking' fee, which is not uncommon with new technology, but honestly the first I had heard for a piece of luggage. So basically I lost $150 dollars on a purchase that I wasn't completely satisfied with, as a result, buyer beware. Before you click 'buy' make sure you love it, else your subsidizing their bottom line......

Swissgear Laptop School Backpack - Scansmart Technology - Up to 17" Laptop - Notebook - Netbook

Swissgear Laptop School Backpack - Scansmart Technology - Up to 17' Laptop - Notebook - NetbookNot sure why the picture looks like it does. The pack is very similar to the other ScanSmart packs. The material is the same flat black canvas and it looks just as great. The front pocket (bottom) is big enough for my iPad, Kindle, and and 8.5x11 notepad. This is also where your keys, pens, business cards, etc. go. The pocket above this is a little smaller than some of the other Scansmart packs, but it still fits lots of misc items. The main (middle) compartment fits notebooks, 3-ring binders (plural!), has a zippered mesh 9"x9" pocket on the front side (ipad can go here, but zipper won't close), a smaller pocket above the 9x9 pocket for head phones and misc small items (like my iPad camera kit), and is also where the iPod/MP3 player pouch is. This pouch is 3.5"x4.5" and does not close. Be careful pulling items out of the main compartment to avoid dislodging your phone. A hole in the top of this compartment serves as a way to your headphone cord to make its way out of the bag. The final main compartment is for your laptop. It opens from the side (so be sure to remember to zipper it up before you pick up the backpack!). It does not have any straps to hold the laptop and there are no addt'l pockets here. The side pockets hold a large Nalgene bottle, and the side zipper pockets are big enough for chargers, cords, smaller water bottles, etc. Nice backpack!

UPDATE (June 2011): After a few months of use: Still a good pack, but some interior seems are starting to come loose. Key chain clip broke after a three weeks of use. Moved from 5 stars to 4 stars.

Very handsome backback. Bought it for my husband and he loved it. Love the compartments, materials and simple, elegant design. The seller is also very efficient. I made two purchases from this seller and he never disappoints. Ships the very next day or later that day and if you expedite with this seller, you get it in two days. Good buy.

Bought this for my 5 yo for kindergarden. Zipper broke the first day,less than one month of use it has a huge rip on the bottom front. She does not carry books in it only a folder and lunchbox. Very cheaply made. Had to purchase a new backpack one month into school year.

My 8 year old daughter was so excited to get a Justin Bieber rolling bookbag. On the first day of school, the straps got tangled in the wheels, locked them up and shredded the shoulder straps so that one of them can no longer be used. By the first week one of the zippers on the pockets broke and by the the second week, one of the main zippers broke. Today one the wheels partially broke. What a piece of junk. It didn't last three weeks of the third grade. To top it all off, because we didn't wait until the last minute to purchase the bookbag, it is too late to return it.

Incase CL57483 Nylon Sling Sleeve 15-Inch - Black

Incase CL57483 Nylon Sling Sleeve 15-Inch - BlackThe original Incase product I wanted I saw at the apple store, and thought I was getting a good deal finding it here on Amazon for a price cut down to $35. I even checked Incase's website to make sure I was getting the right product, and that this was the appropriate case for my MacBook Pro 15" RETINA DISPLAY. This was the only product listed on the Incase website from what I could see, so I ordered it.

The case itself seems fine (and I'm sure it's a terrific case for the older MacBook Pro), but I guess it was my fault for not noticing that the apple store sells the DELUXE version of this bag. The Deluxe version is more custom made for the thinner retina display MacBook Pro, it has an extra zipper so you can charge the MacBook pro while it's in the case, and it has an extra pocket inside to hold your iPad. They look "almost" identical, so this is really my own mistake for not noticing I was getting the wrong bag. I also discovered the deluxe version is ONLY being sold to the Apple store, from Apple (in store or online from apple.com). I couldn't find the deluxe version of this bag on Amazon.

As I said, I'm sure this is a fine bag (I eventually just threw down the extra money and got the deluxe version, and it's a really great bag so far), and the mistake is entirely my own fault, but I'm writing this review just to help stop others from making the same mistake I made. Will this bag still carry the MacBook Pro retina display? Of course, just like any other laptop bag will. Just expect it to have a bit more "wiggle room" for the thinner retina display item.

This bag was designed for and is a perfect fit for a 15" Macbook Pro. I can see why they sell it for $59.95 at the Apple Store. Like the Macbook Pro, this bag is itself a masterpiece of design excellence. The bag is very protective of my Mac and wonderfully versatile. The satchel handles hide themselves in their own little pockets and are strong and padded. The shoulder strap clips on and off with secure clips and loops and is well padded and stores in the velcro-closing rear pocket, which is also great for files or thinner books. Even the zipper pulls are well constructed and attractive. There are inner pockets in the outer pockets for pens, phone/ipod etc. and the outer pockets easily fit the charger and lots of other gear. So the bag works as a shoulder bag, a satchel bag, or a bulky sleeve. As you can tell, I am very impressed with the design and workmanship of this bag. Kudos to Incase for their thoughtfulness.

In summary: This is the second Incase Sling Sleeve I've purchased, but only because I love the purple/orange color combination so decided to splurge. And I'm happier with the second than I was with the first.

I have two laptop bags: this and the Timbuk2 laptop messenger bag. Yes, this is much more 'minimalist', but that's why I like it. My Timbuk2 bag is perfect for when I have to lug more stuff around (and is great for flying as it still counts as a "personal" item), but is HEAVY and bulky when loaded down. The Incase bag is perfect when all I need is my computer and a few papers. I also have one of the first versions of this bag that has the same features, but the front exterior pocket is velcro. The zipper on the latest version is an improvement as the velcro often stuck to the short handles and they're now pretty frayed. Also, the darker colors available in the new version will hide stains and dirt from general use better than my lighter color. I'd recommend this to anyone that is looking for a streamlined, minimalist bag. I've had mine for 4 years now and besides some minor stains it's in basically the same condition as when I bought it.

FYI: I have a a Lenovo (ThinkPad) Z61t, which is a 14" widescreen laptop. It fits with room. If you're wondering whether or not your laptop will fit, try eBags' "Does this bag fit my laptop?" tool on their website located near the product information of most bags. Thanks to eBags for offering such a great tool!

I bought this case because I had the same case for the Apple Macbook Pro 13" and loved it. However, I did return this case because it was NOT fitted to the Macbook Pro 15" as snug as the 13" case was fitted. Also, I did NOT like the fact that Incase modified the external pockets with a zipper on top of the pockets instead of the flap. The flap offered much better/easier access to the pockets. For what it's worth, I contacted Incase and expressed to them my comments/observations as well... I wound up buying the Brenthaven ProStyle(tm) Lite Expandable SC. For my use (personal and business travel) the Brenthaven is by FAR the BEST and MOST VERSATILE case I ever owned/used while toting around a notebook pc for the past 20 years.

What's good:

*Sleek and stylish. Looks modern yet understated. Goes with everything.

*Adequately protective: A soft, almost furry lining to protect your machine. (But not much padding, so don't toss this around.)

*Zippered and velcro outer compartments; gives you the options to zip something up safely (wallet), or just tuck it in for fast access (phone).

*Lightweight.

What's not so good:

*Not much room. You put in your laptop and a folder, and it's full. Bulkier items can be squeezed in, but they will distort the profile of this bag. Even adding the power cord (although it will fit) makes the bag bulge. Could have used a little more room!

Giving this bag 4 stars because it's very nice-looking, and I do use it daily. But it would be greatly improved by more carrying space.

Bags for LessTM Fanny Pack Travel Waist Bag, Red

Bags for LessTM Fanny Pack Travel Waist Bag, RedI purchased this bag to be used as an accessory to a costume. I have to say I am extremely impressed as to the quality for the price! It has four separate compartments that can be used for pretty much anything (one of which has a keyring, mesh pocket, zipper pocket, and cellpouch).

The belt can probably fit a waist/hip of around 48 inches (just a guesstimate by my standards).

All in all I give this thing 5 stars. It spruced up nicely for my costume, and is far more fashionable than your typical granny-fannypack. The amount of storage space this thing has rivals my actual handbag!

My teenage daughter laughed at me for buying this. But after using it a few time she has changed her opinion. I bought it for our trip to Universal theme park to hold our belongings and it was stylish and has a great quality to it.

I like this waist-pak a lot, but the bag is bigger than I expected. I do bending and lifting at work and this bag is too large to wear while stooping down and getting up. It's approx. 10" x 7", description states 9.5" x 6.5" so it's slightly bigger. I ended up keeping it in my locker rather than wear it "on the floor" at my job (I wear a red shirt, so I wanted something to blend in). For general use, it's a great bag if you're looking for something larger. Lots of handy zip compartments and even a pocket for a water bottle!

I am taking this pack to Tunica. I am not a fan of fanny packs, but this is the best thing for running around the casinos. Also, the red color will let everybody know I am on my way. Hope it holds all the money I win.

Way too big for me & I'm a big girl, too! The price is right for it, though. Are they making fanny packs too big these days for everyone? Too bad!

Leyden and Sons Leather Bag Co. - Oxford Briefcase

Leyden and Sons Leather Bag Co. - Oxford BriefcaseI was looking for a nice leather bag that I could take to work.

I needed it to be relatively light since I commute and yet I didn't want it to look unprofessional like the messenger bags by Chrome and Brenthaven.

The bag is made of incredibly thick and high quality leather.

It says premium all over it. The inside pockets are very well stitched and lined with three zipper pockets and plenty of room for all my folders, macbook air ,kindle, and some headphones.

I wish the strap had some more padding. The buckle is in an awkward spot most of the time when I'm riding a bicycle and lugging it around but when I'm walking it's fine.

This bag is the perfect size for me, not too small, not too big, and I love the rich dark brown color.

The whole bag is slightly heavy since it's made of such high quality and thick leather but I think it's definitely worth it because it means that much more protection for all the things you store in it.

The bag can easily sit up by itself and I've received so many compliments about it.

i definitely recommend this bag, it's stylish, premium, and authentic real leather.

I hate the glossy cheap leather you see on most bags these days.

I was looking for a genuine leather briefcase and that's exactly what I found with this bag. I also love all the different compartments inside.

I received the bag much faster than I would expect, thanks to the seller to get the bag packed and shipped out quickly at his end. The bag looks much better from the photos. Quality wise, the bag is well stitched to take loads of stuff. I am very happy with my purchase. This is my second purchase from the seller.

I purchased the Leyden & Sons Oxford briefcase along with the Williamsburg Satchel; both are remarkably well made. The Oxford briefcase is well sized, and is outfitted with quick and easy fasteners under each of the front buckles. The stitching is excellent. The metal hardware and the zippers seem to be of very good quality. I just received the bag today and I cannot stop looking at it. I am surprised that I did not notice this company's products earlier. I had been searching for a bag of this sort for quite some time and was getting close to paying double the price for another brand. This bag is quite a find! It has exceeded my expectations. This is a keeper and I am loving it already; well constructed, functional and pleasing to the eye.

I purchased this as a gift for my father from us kids and I have to say WOW. The presentation/wrapping of the bag alone shows the attention to detail that they take with making these bags. The quality of the leather is great and the size is perfect for a legal pad, which was dad's worry. Thank you!
