ADLER Imported Genuine Leather Messenger Bag | Crossbody Bag | Sling Bag for Men and Women

Overall: exactly what I wanted, would purchase it again.# Common description and Pros:I need this bag mainly as Personal Items Bag for flights (additional to my carry-on rucksack), for other travel purposes (in public transport) and for some official tasks (PO, Bank, Insurance, etc.). So please keep that in mind, you might want to use it for other purposes but I describe it only from my point of view.For my purposes it has first of all to fit to the size restrictions of the airline, be sturdy and long lasting, be big enough for my laptop and document map, and carry some other stuff such as tablet, smartphone, chargers and so on. And it has to be of good quality and of course black like all my other items and clothes ;-)So I went on search for a very basic and even minimalistic leather bag only, since I do not want to have too much of fancy stuff and decorations but serious functionality, and genuine leather gives you usually a good protection for your items as well as a high probability for a lifelong use.When I found this model here everything seemed to fit but I wasn't sure about the true quality of this bag from what I found here since there were still no comments about the bag, the brand or the seller, so no orientation at all, but ok ... no risk no fun, one can return items on Amazon if they don't fit, and the price was also kind of 'very ok' for such an item, so I ordered it ;-)And I'm really happy that I took the risk. This bag fits to all my defined needs and requirements. Dimensions and design are as shown in the description and on the sellers' pictures and as I wanted, and the quality of the leather as well as the level of craftsmanship is exactly as I expected to get it (only good, of course). The manufacturer seems to have an impressive quality control - and perfect experts in manufacturing, of course ;-)I did not yet use the piece on a flight as intended but packed it 'as if' in order to test whether everything fits in. And I used it already for a couple of hours here around with my non-travel-stuff in it. So far I found it is really a great bag, just how I wanted it to be. Of course I do not yet have long term experience with it but if I would get serious challenges with that bag I would surely bring this account forward.Now, what fits in? Well, in my specific travel case, all these items fit easily in: 1 laptop 13" size (30x20cm), 1thin plastic document map containing all my A4 sized travel documents (32x23cm), 1 tablet 11" size (26x17cm), 2 smartphones (17x8cm), two ziplock bags with liquids/gels and tablets (in the 15x8x5cm range), one pouch (approx. 20x12cmx4) with chargers and cables, in-ear-phones and stuff. Still enough space left for some odds and ends like chikkies, wet wipes, paper tissues and so on.# Caveats:This is definitely a minimalistic bag, no games nor gimmicks. That means also no zip on top of the main compartment, and the flap doesn't cover the full compartment but gives some space at both the sides. That's very nice if you want to carry something like a big selfie stick or a flute or so but one has to be aware that small items like keys or coins or pens or pen drives etc. could fall out if the bag comes into a horizontal situation ... as long as you don't keep such items in one of these pockets which have a zip (one is inside the main compartment and one on the outside of the flap). Or you put such small items simply in a ziplock bag or any pouch which is big enough and cannot come out of the main compartment as long as the flap is closed. These gaps on the sides have also the side effect that this bag is not rain proof, even when closed.# Cons:Didn't find so far anything big to complain about, just some minor deviations from what is in the article description (and partially even on the pictures), which are not serious cons for me. Still I would like to list these peanuts here: the so called 'anti dust cover' shown on one of the picture wasn't included (means I didn't get it), the weight of this item is not 350g but 865g (including the strap), and the warranty slip on the bag itself says there is 6 months warranty (whiles the text here on Amazon states 1 year, no idea what is finally valid, but I think I won't need it either).And concerning the construction/material of the bag: What I hadn't seen on the pictures and what was also not told in the description is the fact that the carrying strap is not pure leather as I thought but mainly a nylon (?) belt with leather application on one side. Seems to be comfortable, sturdy and long lasting but that's maybe the first part of the bag when it comes to repairs (after decades of use, I hope - but I guess the bag keeps longer than I will do myself ...).
