RUSTIC TOWN 14" Leather Messenger Bag for Men & Women – Full Grain Vintage Crossbody Satchel – Fits 13.3"/14" Laptop – Ideal Briefcase for Work, Travel & College – Adjustable Shoulder Strap

Why did you pick this product vs others?:LOVE my messenger bag!! It was packaged very neatly and securely. The bag itself is exactly as described and my laptop fits inside perfectly with plenty of room for the charger and anything else I might want to carry with it. I would definitely order from them again. Great product. I highly recommend them for your leather messenger bag needs.

It’s a little smaller than I expected but it fit everything I needed. The magnets don’t line up very well to keep it closed and I wish it handle a handle on top. Not the fault of the product just didn’t know that I would want that. Works great.

Second Order Replacement:Smell: A little strong the first one, not super leather smell but not some strong chemical smell. Some fresh air and it should be just fine.Leather: Nice qualityLining and Stitching: Much Better Quality Control was on top of things this time.First Order:So I ordered this product as I am big fan of the hand crafted look it provides, however I am returning it. Let me explain. So I was a little concerned when I got it, about quality as I read some of the reviews but I thought I would give it a shot.Smell: So I noticed a number of complaints about the smell so, I was expecting a strong chemical smell. Which I can say it doesn't not have. If I had to describe it I would say more like saw dust or the smell of a wood shop class. Overall not that new leather smell everyone hopes for but not some toxic smell as suggested by other reviews.Leather: First the color, the quality of the leather is both exactly what I expected and what I hoped for. So over all that was great. Is it Coach purse quality no, is it glossy and shine no. It is more rustic which I like.Size: So for a 14" 2024 Macbook pro it fits nicely. It is small but that is what I was going for so again that is a win.Stitching and Lining: This is where the product fell sort. First the strap leather is u-evenly cut and frayed. which from a quality control issue is not a good sign but again not the end of the world. However I can not say the same of the quality of material used. It is a very poor and thin material. The result being tears and fraying, leading to holes in the laptop area. This was the factor that made me decided that I was not happy.I have order a replacement to give it a second chance hopefully the replacement will be better. I will update my review when the second bag comes.

Beautiful

I rarely write reviews but I was very impressed with this bag. The leather is soft and beautiful. The bag is well constructed and roomy. Was very impressed with the attention to detail in the packaging. Good job.

The bag itself is quite nice. The quality is what you would expect from a 50$ bag but the smell is just awful and after a week of airing and numerous attempts with special leather waxs and deodorants - nothing helps.It's not your usual new leather smell (which I love) but rather a very offensive chemical smell which render this bag unwearable.

This product needs some expertise. It's a good size for people who want Small. But the seller needs several improvements. I'm tempted to return it but I want to keep.it to encourage African craft and people. Hopefully my purchase does some good for them.I'd like to see the following:Reinforce the Top flap so that it retains a round form and doesn't collapse into an ugly shape.The magnetic buttons are very weak. Maybe a simple buckle will help .The shoulder strap needs another loop.The Inaide liner needs to be batter. The ugly green color should be replaced with a Brown satin like fabricThe zipper should be changed from an ugly cheap looking plastic to metal with a Non black fabric around it.One more handle inside with ak opening in the flap to let it come out will make it very co venient to lift quickly and walk. Rather than always hang on shoulder.The color and texture is good

Perfect size for carting a couple of bibles and our Sunday school material to church, which is what I wanted it for. It will also carry two iPads and a couple of books to the park when we want to head that direction.
