Review on McKlein FLOURNOY Compartment Briefcase 85954 by Eddie Fowler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very big and spacious!

First of all I have to say I'm TOTALLY impressed with how quickly this bag arrived. I ordered this varsity bag from Australia on February 10th using standard shipping and got an estimated delivery time of 2-3 weeks. Well yesterday my bag arrived and the date was only February 18th. The bag is VERY roomy and I can't believe other reviewers said it was too small which made me nervous when ordering the bag. In my opinion the bag is actually a lot bigger than the photos and I really wish it was a little smaller. I'm quite petite (5'6" and short) and the bag makes me look like a 6 year old on my first day of school with a huge backpack. The size is the only thing I really don't like about this bag and I'm sure it won't be a big problem for other people. The second issue is that the bag is quite heavy, which is to be expected given the size and type of material. It's a bit heavy for my liking, but I'm not the strongest and my dad had no problem lifting the sack. Those falls aside, the rest of the bag is great. This is a high quality leather and looks a little darker than the bag in the picture (I bought the brown bag) although this is not a problem for me. The bag has a large number of pockets and holders, including a special laptop holder, tablet holder, phone holder, pen holder and other small holders for other items such as wallets and credit card slots and the like. It also offers space for books, documents, etc. When I tested the bag to see how well it fits all my essentials, I was pleasantly surprised. I could easily fit my 15-inch Asus laptop (which will be replaced by a much lighter 13-inch MacBook Pro), a folding umbrella, a thick A4 multi-topic book, a fairly large psychology textbook, and a small pencil in it. a case, a tube of papaya ointment, deodorant, my iPhone, a large wallet/clutch, a glasses case, an A7 diary (although I'm sure I can easily fit up to an A5 size) and a box of pencils. Even with the assembly of all these items, there was still room for other little things. (I believe that some people considering this bag for business or general use might not need that many things, so I'm including this description to show how big this bag really is). Below I've attached a picture of everything I need. fit in pocket for size reference. Note that I used my iPhone to take the picture so you don't see it in the bag and my pencil case is next to the textbook but you can't see it because it's at the bottom of the bag[.] Overall I'm happy with this bag and I think it's worth the money compared to other models that are twice the price and have half the space. If you are a college student and want to fit everything you need in one bag instead of carrying multiple things, then this bag is for you.

Pros
  • Folding top briefcase with two secure snaps. Two front pockets for small accessories.
Cons
  • I'll write later
