Review on 👜 McKleinUSA W Series, Lake Forest, Premium Cowhide Leather, 15" Women's Laptop Briefcase with Removable Sleeve, Vibrant Fuchsia (94333) by Tony Flugence

I bought it in red mainly to use as a large "purse" to carry papers and other things. I wanted something cooler than most messenger bags and not as formal and boring as a briefcase. i really like it I bought mine "used" but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived as it looks brand new and still has the McKlein USA tag and associated "genuine leather" (oof leather) tag. is likely) or "PD-Skin". Very high quality and stain free, should hold up well. NO SMELL (Slight pleasant smell of leather when I touch it with my nose.) Color is excellent, same as the picture. I love the outside pocket for pens, notepad, phone, keys etc which is easy to reach for the things you use. Most stand on their own and are great Fits my 13" MacBook Pro (which comes in a neoprene foam sleeve) Love the handles, it makes it a lot easier to grip and carry Very well made, good stitching, great metal hardware, stitching is white but doesn't detract from the more professional look it might fit - i haven't tried it, another reviewer says it barely fits sleeveless it fits my 13" computer easily. If the computer is on it doesn't go with all the other stuff I usually carry in my purse but I will rarely use it for the computer and will use the iPad most of the time in the future. There's plenty of room without a computer. It's "tough" but it's the design and thick leather that I wanted.If that's not what you want then this isn't the bag for you but it does make it more formal which I wanted.It's a little smaller than many computer case but it's not "chunky" and doesn't feel artificial or plasticky at all. If you intend to use a 13-inch computer all the time, this may not be the bag for you unless you plan on carrying a lot of other things. I think it will only easily pierce computer accessories. If you use a larger computer, this is not the bag for you. I don't need a strap, but it's definitely serviceable. It's stiff and I probably won't use it that often, but it's definitely long enough for me. If necessary, put on a shoulder bag to be on the safe side. It will probably hold up well when used. It would have been nice to have a small zip pocket in the front compartment to store small items like lip balm, paperclips etc but that's just my preference as I'll be using it primarily as a wallet. Plenty of space for files, papers and thin books. I don't take thick books. All in all this is a great product and I love it. Maybe I'll get my sister one for Christmas, let's see how she reacts to mine. Great for what it's made for. The label states that it has a limited lifetime warranty against damage caused by a product defect. Mine was sold as 'used' so it probably isn't covered and like all warranties it doesn't cover normal wear and tear but I expect it will serve me for many years without much wear and tear as the quality is very high is.
