Review on 👜 Stylish and Functional: Solo New York Executive 15.6 Inch Bucket Tote in Espresso by Mike Cooper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty good, apart from the color and size

Like most laptop bags, this item is HUGE. I would recommend looking at the overall size of the bag rather than the size of a laptop (see image showing 15" laptop and Surface Pro 4 in bag). I can put both laptop and tablet in my bag. Foam bag, and still have the entire inside of the bag in stock! Also the COLORS issue. I'm attaching photos with subtle lighting to better show the color. in reality it is more orange than brown. I was deciding between this model and the leather version, but in the end I chose this model because I liked the interior design. I had to shell out an extra $30 for real leather and a better color. I'm a woman, primarily on business, and wanted something a little less masculine than a regular Targus bag or men's crossbody bag. I also wanted something to hold my technique up so the profile of the bag isn't as wide. That way I don't smack everything when I'm walking down the aisle of an airplane. I also wanted a bag that I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear to board meetings and in front of executives, like many bag brands Consider it a patent croc or pink Fake - these are the only models that women like. As cute as it may be, no one will take you seriously in any business setting with a neon pink chevron print tote. Now I'm hesitant to take it to meetings because of the color, but the bag itself isn't bad. If you are looking for the same thing as me this bag will do if you are not picky but be prepared for size and color. I really wish I could trade mine in for a better chocolate color!
