Review on πŸŽ’ Genuine Leather Rucksack Backpack by Jaald by Elizabeth Thornton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

AMAZING FOR $50.00!

Where do I start? To be more practical, I decided to spend hundreds of dollars on a designer backpack and give my hard-earned cash to people who already have hundreds of millions of dollars in their checking accounts, and more money than I'll ever see in any thing from the past. . I'm sorry, coach! (Not sorry) I read a lot of reviews about this backpack and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! THIS BACKPACK IS AWESOME! The backpack arrived folded and cryopacked. Upon unpacking, there was a strong chemical smell in my kitchen, but that's what I expected based on the many reviews I've read. The fittings were carefully wrapped in cellophane so there was no mold or corrosion. The first thing I did was stuff the bag with old clothes and rags to give the bag its full shape. I then wiped it down with a damp cloth and that reduced the smell significantly. Next it had to be finished with mineral oil and this is how this beauty came to life. The color is juicy and shiny. Now it looks like one of the most beautiful backpacks I have ever seen. The fittings are functional but of poor quality, but I will be installing solid brass or pewter fittings soon. From the looks of it, the swap should be easy. I added a roll of cord from an old designer bag and think it adds a nice finishing touch. The backpack is sturdy, well made and just the right size (16 inches). I like the position of the extra pockets and find them very functional. I wish it had a separate compartment for laptops, pens, pencils, and card slots, but for $50 I'm fine with that. Looks really great, will last for many years with proper care. The vintage style draws attention. Can't wait to really experience it as a weekend warrior. For the price, durability, quality and style this is an amazing backpack. Get one. You will not regret it.

Pros
  • Top handle backpack, Nice wide adjustable shoulder straps on the back, Stitched interior for durability
Cons
  • Zero
