TIDING Men's Leather Convertible Backpack 15.6 Inch Laptop Briefcase Messenger Bag Work Business Travel Rucksack

Time will tell if this bag is durable. But, upon initial impression, this is a well made bag. Definitely a heavy bag. But, I sturdy guy, so I don’t mind the weight at all, I have taken the bag on one short 3 days trip. It held two changes of clothes, my iPad, my laptop, and all of my toiletries. It was super efficient and versatile. It was very comfortable traveling through the airport and getting on and off the plane. I used it in briefcase, and backpack mode. If this bag holds up, it will be the best bag I have ever bought. I am a business professional of 35 years. I have owned and traveled with just about every style of bag and brief case. This bag has it all: rustic style, versatility and comfort. It if holds up, I will come back in a few months and share an update.

Just got this bag, so initial impressions only. The quality of materials seems to be fairly high for this price point. The leather, stitching, and strap attachments seem to be rugged enough for heavy use and neglect. Im hard on my stuff more by nature than intent, so will be testing the previous statement soon :) The conversion from backpack to shoulder-slung/carry is straightforward, but not something that you would be able to accomplish in ten seconds. I like that the unused straps stow away out of snaggable range. The only thing that I dont care for in this process is the opened zippers for the in-use straps. Its not a big deal, and I dont know how to easily work around that design, but its an open pocket.Inside the bag is laid out reasonably well. My biggest complaint in here is the velcro retaining straps on some of the nooks and crannies. If this bag lasts as well as it looks like it will, the velcro will be un-velcro’d well before the rest of the bag is wore out. I would have liked to see some sort of magnetic claspy thing or perhaps snaps or buttons, but thats a minor quibble. The only real complaint regarding the main compartment is that it doesnt open as wide as Id like. Between the less-flexible-than-cloth leather and a zipper that doesnt go more than two-thirds around the compartment, Ive got to kinda pull the bag open to peer inside. This will no doubt improve as the bag begins to see more use.Overall, this bag is, if anything, more than Id hoped for when purchasing it at this point. If something changes will update.

Favorite purchase of the year. Great quality, roomy, thoughtfully laid out. Backpack is a nice option. Daily use. Very happy.

i love this bag - it’s the best convertible i’ve found that really actually works in both orientations. it has so much room, and it’s beautiful. but it is HEAVY. i know that comes with the territory of leather, and it does seem very sturdy, but it’s heavy enough to prevent it from being my day-to-day commuter bag.

Perfect size and storage places and spaces. The distressed leather is a little of a throw back versus sleak space age materials ... which is why I like it. Solidly made, durable, all the various ways to carry

I was looking for a versatile bag that I could wear as a backpack to get around the city, but that would convert to a professional looking briefcase when I went to meetings and such. Furthermore, I needed a bag large enough to carry all of my things as my bag serves as a mobile office.I liked the look of the bag as soon as it arrived. It is high-quality, durable, and very fashionable. I waited to write a review to see how the bag did in real world circumstances, and this bag has made it through two months of heavy use (and some of abuse) And came through like a champ.I think the most telling piece of information that I can share is the startling number of compliments I have gotten on the bag. There is not a single meeting that I have taken it to where somebody hasn’t made a positive comment about it.***Now 8 months in. The lining is starting to tear (due to the tremendous amount of abuse I put the bag through) and even still it is holding strong. I though once the tear started that the whole thing might start coming apart, but it is very durable.

I’m thoroughly impressed with this bag. The leather is very thick. When you use it as a briefcase, the shoulder straps are completely buried inside. It’s VERY well made. Seems like I can just keep putting stuff in there, I always find room. With the 3 handy pockets on the front, you can hold a lot in this bag. It takes leather conditioner perfectly. I let that dry for two days, then waterproofed it with a 3M leather waterproofer. This is a Great leather bag that’s very affordable. If this bag holds up, and I have no reason to think it won’t, it’s gonna be around a long time. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a laptop or overnight case.

After trying 3 different bags this one has everything I was looking for in a bag for my laptop and everyday work stuff. Highly suggest buying it!
