Review on ๐Ÿ‘œ Classic Italian Leather Messenger Bag: Stylish Travel Briefcase for Men with 16 Inch Laptop Compartment and Secure YKK Zippers by Mark Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Light buckles, thick leather, compact and well-made (but a 16 inch laptop will be tight)

What I what I like most about this bag is that it opens very easily. Violation of the terms of the contract. Photos of how the "button latches" work are included if they are helpful to those who have not seen them. The manufacturer has a picture of them, but it may not be clear how they work. If I had this bag you'd never know these aren't true traditional buckles so pull off the look with ease. of that time (and the Italian language does not add any promises kept either). Too bad there's no way to personally feel this bag before buying it from Revain. I bet they would sell a lot of these if they could. I'm not sure why it isn't more expensive because to my knowledge you can't get a bag like this for less than $250 anywhere else. Just note that this is not the polished leather type commonly found on cheaper messenger bags. Marks appear on it over time, giving authenticity to the skin. The zippers and other fasteners also seem to last a long time. As for the size, I was surprised at how compact it is. At the thickest point you see 6 centimeters (unless you put thick items in it, which doubles the size of the bag to 11-12 centimeters). There is an accordion on the sides, which keeps the bag compact when extra space is not needed. Inside is a nice organizer and good padding for a laptop. I was able to get a 15.6" laptop to fit comfortably in the main bag, but not in the small bag actually designed for your laptop (see the manufacturer's picture that says "fits 14- inch laptop" to see which one I mean). If you have a 16-inch laptop, it should have ultra-thin bezels (and I would generally recommend getting a larger case because it still gets tight - tighter than I'd like). Hope these ideas help. happy with this messenger bag.
