Review on πŸ‘œ Stylish and Spacious: McKlein USA Siamod Ignoto 15.6" Leather Large Ladies Laptop Briefcase by David Norwood

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nice bag for light use

This is my second purchase of the same item. I use my laptop bag on business trips and after over a year of traveling I'm generally happy so I bought a second one as a gift or to replace my current bag (fate is yet to be determined). Positive aspects: looks; ease of access; useful features (zipper on lower back pocket so you can sling it over the shoulder of a wheeled bag, a longer front pocket flap prevents loose items from falling out); the deep front compartment offers enough space to transport more than just the essentials; easily cleans up under an airplane seat after an unfortunate encounter with chewing gum. Cons: Poor quality hardware (for a $150+ bag, I expect decent, solid hardware. Metal looks good but feels very cheap, clasps sometimes come loose, and tiny screws hold multiple keys to tie points together wear); The internal storage in the front pocket is the main pocket, and the mesh pocket doesn't fit standard-sized ID, credit cards or business cards, so the items get a little messed up (now I just use another small pocket to store it all); Patent leather will wear out if not treated with care and cleaned regularly. None of this is a deal breaker for me given the amazing price I got when I bought it through the Revain Warehouse. If I had paid full price it would have been returned simply due to a hardware issue given the number of rides I do. For light or infrequent use, this is a great option for everyone.
