Knomo Kobe Messenger Bag

I recently purchased this bag and was very pleased with the quality, styling and price. I did a lot of online research to replace a TUMI bag I had used for years at work. After getting tired of finding the same bland and boring black nylon messenger bag, I stumbled across Knomo in a magazine article. The quality is very good with detailed/contrasting stitching, fine leather exterior, padded orange interior with multiple size compartments for just about everything. The nickel ends to the shoulder straps are nicely finished and look very modern and durable. I am certain this bag will last me for years to come! The Amazon price is also a lot less than other sites I searched. If you are looking for a simple, modern and elegant bag I would definitely recommend the Kobe Messenger Bag by Knomo!

I purchased a very similar bag from Knomo and really liked it when I got it, BUT when the seam which holds the shoulder strap on one side split wide open, and I called and sent pictures to Knomo, they were completely unapologetic and unhelpful.

If you can afford to buy a new $300+ bag every 2 years, then this is the bag for you. Other interior pocket seams have also came apart, so this was not just a single bad stitch.

If you expect such a bag to last you for years of good use, you will be sorely disappointed.

I thought the bag was great when I got it a few weeks ago. I used it lightly everyday however a few days ago one of the so-called metal ends just broke in half. I am not joking.

I am very familar with metal and it will stretch or deform however this when looked at closer looks like some type of other material. I don't think plastic.

If it is metal then the end pieces supporting the shoulder strap are extremely brittle showing pour quality and cheaper manufacturing which should not be in a bag that costs anywhere near this amount.

I have uploaded a picture so can see it broken for yourself. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Read Best Reviews of Knomo Kobe Messenger Bag Here

I am writing this because when I was doing research for a messenger bag, I couldn't find a lot much feedback from owners of Knomo bags. I encourage more people to write, I think they are make quality products.

I've been using the Kobe Messenger bag for the last couple of months and so far it's everything I was looking for.

It's the perfect size and made with amazing quality and detail. The leather is very soft and the cushiony interior holds my T400 laptop securely. Unlike the previous reviewer my interior is green and not orange.

I used to carry around a backpack and can carry almost everything that I used to. I am looking for a water bottle that will fit in this bag and it would complete everything I need when I go out.

Pros:

Light

Roomy

Strong

Cons:

Wish it was all leather exterior

I hope this review helps and if anyone has questions please feel free to ask.

I just received my bag today. I am a 30 + yr old Business owner that just finished my BS in Business Management. The bag was a treat from my wife to replace my school bag with a professional bag. So far the appearance and build are great quality. The bag feels fantastic and is able to hold everything I need. Laptop, notepad, cell phone, calculators, newspaper, etc... I will check back in a few weeks as a follow up on build and quality and durability.

I love that you can register the product through Knomo London with a serial number in case it is lost traveling.
