Kenneth Cole Reaction Out Of The Bag Manhattan Colombian Leather RFID 15.6" Laptop Briefcase

I spent weeks searching for a bag to replace my old Victorinox side bag, I had it for almost 5 years until it suffered the time wear and it ripped on the inside pockets.My main concern was that, how long would this new bag last and will it be as versatile as my old one...First of all, I went online searching for options and ended up in amazon looking for options. I had about 10 options before making up my mind, and this bag made my mind change instantly.I honestly saw it smaller than it really is, since you can use it for your iPad, but it really fits a whole magazine inside and close the lid with no problems...The leather is genuine and looks great on black, it is soft and the smell is genuine too.The inside pockets are a bit tight on the front one, but it fits your wallet, pens, cards, iPhone even if you have an iPhone cover, as well as small items. The middle pocket is larger and fits your camera, small books, cd cases, bluray movies and anything you need. On the middle pocket there is a zipper where you can store your keys, id badge, headphones, coin change, etc, since it is small and easy access you can store any quick access items in there.On the back pocket you can store your iPad, kindle, samsung pad or whatever. I store my kindle in it and fits great.There is also a pocket on the back side, where you can store a movie, cd, or cards on it, as well as envelopes since it is thin.The strap looks to be well made and it has a leather pad for your shoulder, and the material looks to be long lasting.Since it is a leather bag, I would have to keep updating this review in terms of how does the material responses to everyday wear and weather wear as well.But I can tell you that if you want a everyday bag for the office and school (if you carry only one notebook lol) this is your perfect bag, even if you dress up casual and sport.I use it everyday, to the office and every where I go.It is a bit expensive but it is well worth it.

This is a stunningly good backpack. I just retired the previous one after 5 years of major abuse and worldwide travel and it held up well (stitching in one corner finally failed). The leather is top quality and looks amazing even after 5 years of use. Most importantly this holds A TON. It has a zillion pockets and just a lot of capacity for chargers, toiletries, and your laptop. The little pocket on the front is brilliant for your passport and pens and USB sticks. If I could give it a ten I would. You will not regret this one.

I am very happy with this tablet bag. Delivered to me in perfect condition. Gorgeous dark brown leather with dark blue nylon liner. PERFECT size for me. Not too big, not too small with room to spare with all of my stuff in it!! I love the wide, cloth, adjustable length strap that offers an uncommonly long max length that reaches my lower hip and the shoulder pad slider. These are some the main factors I chose this bag.Easy to carry. Not heavy despite the thick leather. Could have more card slots in the built in wallet but I'm managing with the 4. One zipper pocket is perfect for loose change and paper money.I couldn't be happier and I'm picky!! Seems to be very well made. Not sure about durabiltiy because I just started using it one day ago, but I'm not rough on my things. It should last many years considering how I take excellent care of my belongings.I hate purses! I've tried Baggolini, Fossil and other cross body bags but they never fit my needs. Straps are too short, too narrow, too many tiny compartments and too small, wrong shape, too cutsy, etc etc. I'm not crazy about shoulder bags in general - they get in my way and give me sore shoulders, but this one is comfortable and actually enjoyable to wear. It's great looking and I think the size and shape create a weight balance that helps eliminate a combersome, weighty carry bag. I can't believe I paid under $100 for it!

Good thing I didn't let the review discourage me. .This is very decent messenger bag for men.Having said that, I have to agree with what everyone's comments online.* This bag is "genuine leather", not "top grain".* The leather is soft, but it has a feeling of ruggedness.* Definitely not top grade leather.* Bag is big to carry tablet, sketch book and few accessories. It is not a men purse type of a bag.Instead of taking these elements as a "con", they are "pro" in my book.* If leather is too soft and oily, it is too girly for daily use.* If you are carrying a messenger size, it is more a casual look n feel anyway.* I had a top grain leather messenger bag from Tuscany leather, but I end up returning it because I cannot find enough occasions to use my bag.(If you looking for top grain leather bag, check out Tuscany leather from amazon btw...)* For a casual look, you don't want to have your bag more stylish than your clothes.* If you are going for a more serious look N feel, you shouldn't wear a big messenger bag to begin with...* As a men's bag, some amount of ruggedness enhance your masculinity.* In my opinion, this bag is good balance of soft leather and rugged texture.* It is from a good brand, Kenneth Cole Reaction, with a decent design for practical use.Macy sells the same bag on sale for $100+ for the same bag.For the price that is selling on Amazon, it is a very good purchase for this price point.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really like the bag quality and style but I had to order a replacement because there's a bend and a divot on one side and then on the replacement that I got there's missing stitching on the arm strap. There's some lacking quality control.

This is an all round comfortable laptop bag. It is well compartmentalized, with several inner pockets which allows for a very organized carry. It’s also amazing that the bag literally stands up on its own thanks to the design of the bottom. It’s durable and it’s a great value for money.
