Review on Waterproof Leather Laptop Bag for Women - Lightweight 15.6 Inch Computer Tote Bag with Large Capacity - Business Office Briefcase, Handbag, and Shoulder Bag - Professional Work Bag for Office - Beige by Brian Whitmore

Amazing - great buy! I love this bag for work and travel! I was a bit skeptical about this bag due to some negative "fishy smell" reviews; that the laptop compartment is not padded on the outside; and that the bag falls. ALL of these complaints reviews seem exaggerated to me. I received this bag in January 2021 and it has NO BAD SMELL at all! I was ready to air it out as people have mentioned but it arrived perfectly fine with no odor. I hold it up to my face to sniff it and I poke my nose in my pockets and it's exactly the same regular bag you buy in the store. I have no idea how people get that there is a smell. In terms of padding, my laptop actually fit perfectly into the "iPad" part, so it was fully padded on both sides. I also have an even bigger laptop that fits in here too (if I tilt it a bit). Also, when I put my laptop in the "iPad" section, I don't have the problem of the case falling off as some reviews have mentioned. I think people forget to consider size before buying these things and that can be a problem. All in all this is an amazing bag! I took a photo in natural light to see it better, but the material is durable, the color is as described (and I LOVE the dark green!) and it holds a lot of stuff. It's also lightweight, but doesn't feel or look cheap to me. I also note that the inside of the shoulder strap (removable) is made of rope material (see photo), which makes it more comfortable on the shoulder than the hard leather on the outside of the strap. The photos show the metal parts in silver but I love that they are gold on the green bag! (I can't speak for other colors as long as they have gold or silver pieces.) There are also small pins on the bottom to prevent the bag from getting dirty or damaged. I love all of these features! This is a fantastic laptop bag at this price and I highly recommend it!
