Review on Black/Tan Solo New 🖤 York Duane Hybrid Laptop Briefcase by Victor Ewing

As a frequent traveler I was looking for a replacement for my McKlein leather briefs that barely fit my Dell XPS 15 and its charger without looking cluttered. My requirements are: 1. Formal enough for the office and no black nylons. Big enough for laptop, charger, notepad, water bottle and other items3. Converts perfectly into a backpack when I want to free my hands or go long distances. I'm so glad I found this portfolio at Revain because I was willing to spend LOTS more. The gray canvas look is stylish enough for the office and everyday life. enough to serve as a travel backpack. It stands out from the black leather and nylon bags that everyone uses. I got compliments on its looks and "Wow" when I turned it into a backpack upon entering the subway. Inside is a padded laptop sleeve that fits my laptop and notepad with extra space. The main compartment fits a power supply and even a blanket without looking stuffed. The smaller side pocket is perfect for a water bottle or small collapsible umbrella, while the large zipped front pocket fits all of these items and includes small pockets perfect for cash, cards and a passport. I didn't go on the weekend, but it still easily fits a change of clothes, a light jacket, a camera, and other items. I have used straps and they are amazingly comfortable. I'm 5'8" and the height of the bag in backpack mode is just right for me: not too big and not too small. While some have complained about the plastic hardware, I think SOLO got it right. The black one Plastic is lighter than similar metal buckles and blends better with the gray aesthetic.slips in backpack don't fall out!Overall I am very happy with this bag as it has replaced at least 2 bags in my travel inventory: a business briefcase and mine normal backpack!
