"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.

"He loves it!"
My husband retired from the Army and started a new job during the pandemic. Hes been working from home and hasnt needed to lug things to and from the office. But starting in July, thats just what hell be doing as they split days working from home and at the office. Hell need to carry his office with him and so requires a sturdy and attractive bag. My husband, ever practical, said he would just take a backpack (he has some military issue bags that do look sharp, for black nylon.) Of course, I turned to Novica to find a more appropriate solution. As soon as I saw this backpack I knew it suited him both aesthetically and functionally. When he openrd it on Fathers Day, after a moment of surprise, he inspected the bag like the soldier he is. It passed with honors. He loves all the details, the thoughtfully placed pockets, the leatherwork, and even the pattern of the lining. He is looking forward to years of sporting his style with this beautifully crafted backpack.

"Cam back to order more from João Carlos Silva"
I already ordered the backpack Sophisticated Traveler, Adjustable Leather Backpack in Black from Brazil which I ended using every day for work and also in the weekend. So far I had no problems with that one and it still looks brand new. So I decided to order a bigger one for weekends away and it is just as good as the previous one. The interior is the same which is great, makes it looks like a top quality set.

"Versatile and perfect-sized bag"
This is a perfect-sized bag for any occasion. Not big as and somehow inconvenient as a messenger bag, and not small and awkward as a slim crossbody bag is for big guys (for reference, my husband is 1.95 m). Great craftsmanship. The bag is well-made and goes well with either casual or business casual outfits.

"Supple and well made"
Gave this as a Christmas Gift but I had to return the first bag because of an issue with the strap. Once I mailed the first one back I quickly received a replacement which is well made. Im hoping my husband will start using it soon, but I think he was a little disappointed when he received the first item.
