The bag seems to be very solidly made. I do not see any issues along any seams or poor stitching. The color is reasonably uniform. No strong odor, other than a reasonable leather smell which was not overpowering at all. Large enough to handle 16" laptops and several books, notebooks, etc. Looks really good. Especially after I applied mink oil to condition and waterproof the bag.
Has a large center opening. I fit my iPad pro and 16" laptop, and notebook into it. It also has an outer pocket where I can place other small items such as a spare tablet, my wallet, keys, and my cell phone. Overall this item is worth the price and appears to be of very good quality.
My son chose this bag for his senior year of high school and he absolutely loves it. It is so much easier to access than his backpack while not giving up the convenience of a backpack. He is easily able to manage it while riding the one-mile trip on his bike to school and loves all the pockets as well. It's very well made and durable and if it can survive my 17-year-old in one piece you know it's a good thing. Thank you!
Looked at similar bags; they were smaller & leather thinner yet the price was nearly twice as much. This bag is very well made, not a thread out of place. Materials have substance, pockets & interior pouches well thought out. Looks great & has that nice new fine leather goods smell. Would definitely recommend this bag to anyone looking.
