"Nice bag"
Lovely bag, the laptop area is a few cm to small for a 15 inch laptop but it will just fit if put in a different area. When unpacking the lovely leather smell was a sign of quality, the stitches confirmed it. Great value for the price.

"Ive been looking for this bag for 20 years..."
My children watched a PBS TV show when they were young; one of the characters mom carried a leather backpack instead of a purse. It was obviously soft and well-made, and I was smitten with it. It had, however, a draw-string closure, and I knew that with my forgetful tendencies Id dump it regularly...I needed a soft, quality leather bag with a zipper closure. Then, finally, I found this beautiful bag. It is soft. It is very roomy. It has wide cushioned straps. The *only* criticism Id have is that I would like an interior zipper pocket. But thats a minor quibble. I love love love my soft leather backpack. Finally. :-)
