KomalC 18 Inch Leather briefcase Laptop Messenger Bags for Men and Women Best Office Satchel Bag (Messenger Bag)

I was a little wary about a "real leather" bag at this cost but I relied on the other reviews and I am so glad I did. The leather is soft and flexible yet thick and strong, it came in a cotton bag to protect it and the buckles were protected with a plastic film. My 17 inch laptop fits comfortably, I have a wireless mouse in a box and a fairly chunky charger which all go inside without any problem and there is still room for a large thick HDMI lead and my external hard drive and USB cables. I feel confident this will last many years. I think some other reviewers commented about smells, there is a slight smell but only very slight, I was actually hoping for a stronger smell as I like the smell of leather.As a bonus I have found it is so much easier to get my laptop out of a bag that stands up like this one, I just open the cover where it stands and lift my laptop out, whereas with my previous clam shell style case I had to lift the case out and lie it on the floor in order to open it - quite a faff! Consequently I am now using my laptop far more as it is so much easier to access. I am delighted with this bag, even if I end up buying a smaller laptop this will continue to be a useful bag that will be a pleasure to use.

My son has been looking for a leather messenger bag for several years. Many of the bags we've looked at have been a thin 'veneer' of leather applied to another material so you know that, with very little wear and tear, the bag will be tatty and worn out in a very short time. These bags can be spotted by the binding on the edges.Not so with this bag. You can see the thickness of the leather at the edges (no binding to hide thin veneers here) in the photographs. Then, when you actually get the bag, you can feel the quality from the leather to the stitching, to the straps, all the materials used, it's all very strong and reassuring. It looks good, it feels strong and sturdy. Lots of handy pockets inside, too.I'm fully confident that this will withstand everyday use, full of heavy laptop, books etc. The price was excellent for the quality. A similar bag on the high street would cost at least £200 more.

Absolutely love this. Shocked by the wonderful quality and great value!

During lockdown, my employer rolled out company laptops to assist people with working from home. With our return to the office I found my old bag was too small.After hours of weighing up the options, I settled on this one. It arrived on time and was well packaged. It looks great and feels well made. It's perfect for what I need and comfortably accommodates my laptop, note pad, lunch, keys, glasses, wallet, assorted cables and accessories and even a book for the commute - and there's still plenty of room to spare.Very pleased!

Great product. A little upset that lining is artificial fabric, however, it’s a great briefcase.

I love this bag! I spent ages deciding which bag to buy for my job as a teacher and almost went for one twice the price but having read the reviews I went for this. Ordered on a Saturday It arrived the next day ready for the start of term and its perfect.It is a kind of hybrid satchel/messenger bag which is what I was looking for - love the pockets to store my wallet, phone and keys - plus I squeeze in my soundbar! The 18 inch is a bit of a tardis - it is bigger inside than it looks.My laptop books and planner all fit and I can also squeeze in my lunchbox! It has a rugged, well made appearance - smells fantastic and is well finished. The personal note inside is a really nice touch - I think this bag will last years - I totally recommend it.

Along with reading the superb reviews here I also watched a couple of videos on YouTube which I found informative but not 100% correct. The look of the bag is superb even my wife loved its retro looking distressed leather. My main use would be as a Camera bag so with the addition of a little padding to the base and a few additional separators for lenses and this bag is my dream street photography bag... KomalC Message me for a few additions and a subtraction that would place this bag on everybody's Camera accessories wanted list... It is built to a very high standard and you would pay considerably more in the big stores for a bag of this quality... The size is perfect for every occasion, Having spent a night out with 2 cameras, 4 lenses, several batteries, Tripod and full ND setup I could have easily put more equipment in the bag but weight became an issue. As carrying weight was the only issue that is testament to the quality and build of the bag.... Would I purchase another 1000% yes.... Would I recommend it to anyone 1000% Yes … I own several camera bags that will now be gathering dust in the cupboard as this is now my bag of choice...… Thank you KomalC a brilliant product and a very satisfied customer

Beautiful bag, Very well made. Good stitching and all over great quality with plenty of space to easily accommodate my 17-inch laptop and charger with lots of space left over. A4 pads fit comfortably inside. Deceptively spacious pockets that easily fit the largest cell phones. The finish of the leather is a gorgeous deep brown with no blemishes or unsightly scratches. Nice wide shoulder strap with a 6cm x 16cm shoulder pad. I ordered my bag at 11 pm on Thursday and it was delivered on Saturday at about 13:00 hrs. I would definitely be recommending this to anyone wanting a smart sturdy bag.
