cueroLeather Messenger Bag for Men, 18 Inch Laptop Crossbody, Handmade Leather Shoulder Satchel Bag for Men, Full Grain Business Briefcase for Office/Work/Travel - Vintage Brown

Okay, so I was skeptical. The zippers and other hardware IS metal and super sturdy! I also couldn't find what the inside looked like when I ordered it, but for reference I added pictures. It's a lovely green in all the interior pockets.The leather on the strap seemed thin when I first got it but it can easily hold my computer, mouse, charging cable, drawing tablet and keyboard and not even seem phased, and have plenty of room and weight left to add stuff to. And the adjustable strap is perfect for me and super comfortable to wear despite it not being as wide as I thought.And that smell I saw in other reviews? That's just leather conditioner and the oil they have on the buckles when wrapped so they don't rust. It is VERY strong so if you have a sensitive nose then be warned, but I let it air out in a few days and it helped tremendously.

Simply beautiful and amazing. The quality of this bag is remarkable. If you have not purchased this bag yet because you weren't sure of the quality. This will be the best bag you could ever buy, I highly recommend this bag to everyone. Nice size, plenty of compartments to fulfill anyone needs. Five star is not enough for the quality of this bag. I give it 100 stars. Love it, and I loved that I bought it as a gift for such an amazing friend.Thank youGODSCVRGYRL

Fine quality leather, very homogeneous appearance so I rubbed in some leather conditioner and scuffed it up a bit for a weathered patina look. Brass buckles (note: not snaps) were good quality and plentiful. Double stitching throughout. Strap is a bit long for one-shoulder use (I'm 5'9"), but i can fix that. The craftsmanship and overall quality exceeded expectations and the modest price is a nice bonus.

This bag arrived flattened and will need to be stuffed with towels in the inside and paper towels in the smaller side and front pockets for a few days to give the shape back to the leather.Top handle should have been double stitched like the front strap instead of single stitched. It does have brass rivets, but the stitching will tear out of too much stress is placed on handle.All the edges should have been burnished instead of leaving them raw.As some have noted, there is a strong smell when it arrived, which I attributed to the leather tanning process until I actually opened the bag.The smell is attributed to the glue they used for the canvas lining.Being a leather worker myself, the canvas lining is unnecessary in my opinion. A thin leather could have been used, or better yet, leave it raw to smooth out naturally under constant use.The hardware seems to be sturdy so far and the color of the bag is a nice leather brown.The zippers should have been brass to match hardware and not the plastic used as the durability might be an issue with extended use as the plastic zippers will wear out fast.Overall, a nice looking bag that needs some tweaks to be a great bag. For the price it is acceptable, just keep the bag open for a while to let the smell dissipate and don't go loading this bag down with really heavy items. For an iPad or light laptop with a few other papers or small books it will hold up fine.

Really nice and very roomy. Fits everything perfectly. Strong strap and good buckles. Very happy with product. Would buy again.

Received the case today. order was on time, but delivered in a high humidity environment. That was a concern from reading other customer feedback. The case was wrapped in plastic, and my biggest fear was the TERRIBLE smell THAT MANY REVIEWS WARNED ABOUT.. After checking and getting others to confirm it, THERE WAS NO ODOR other than that of a pleasant high quality leather. My animal was obviously picky about cleanliness prior to taking on its new job of carrying my laptop. AND there were no predatory animals scratching at my front door to go in for the kill.....no vultures circled searching for a dead animal. I moved on to my next concern: Space. This does fit my large laptop AND room to spare to fit the side monitor I just purchased. This is just right! Concern number 3, stitching and craftmanship for the price. Everything was completed, stitched securely,, and opened and closed without a problem, zippers inside and out, total of three, were easy to use; pockets expanded as expected and were a bit stiff, but with any good leather bag, give it some time to break in like your favorite baseball glove. The hardware looked good, and added to the vintage look.Received the case today. order was on time, but delivered in a high humidity environment.

It seems sturdy enough but I am doubling up with a brass ring just in case. The buckles are easier to use. I can only use one hand, and had no problem opening o buckle or closing it. Just takes a bit more time. I'll cover the results in a follow-up review. The pictures showing a full bag are not misleading, it should hold all of it as shown without straining. There are small pockets on the sides, that are allegedly for small umbrellas, well I doubt that will work small hand sanitizer bottles, maybe or a great place to keep spare masks
