Review on πŸŽ’ Italian Leather Shoulder Daypack with Zippers for Casual Backpacking by Kathy Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It is exactly as advertised and very beautiful

This is a very good package. However, everything can be improved (or at least modified for everyone's taste). It's great leather - flawless for that matter. It is exactly as advertised. There are more small inner pockets than I expected, which is good. The interior material appears to be some sort of smooth, silky (probably synthetic) fabric, but it also appears to be well made. For putting it on and taking it off, I love the smooth material of this fabric. The zippers feel solid, stay closed, and are easy to use despite most of them having a 90-degree bend. There is a pocket on the strap itself for upgrades. Nice. I have a spare credit card and some cash there as an "Oops, I forgot my wallet" stash. However, it is high on the belt. The way I wear the bag (slanting strap on the chest, pocket on the back), the bag is behind the left shoulder. In an ideal world, I think the pouch would be in the middle or at the bottom of the strap. It appears to have been designed as a quick access bag compared to the larger backpack bags, but I still have to fold the bag all the way forward to reach it. However, the bag is exactly as described and is of excellent quality. In addition, and this could be due to the climatic conditions at the place of delivery and arrival (Japan in autumn), the skin seems to have dried out a bit. I immediately ordered the leather care product. To be honest I've never owned a leather bag this quality so maybe I'm just ignorant and that's okay. But I kind of assumed I'd have it for a while before my lazy self had to start defending it.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
