Review on πŸŽ’ Optimal Vintage Leather College Backpack: A Perfect Choice! by Chris Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent executive bag

After carrying a reasonably durable nylon bag to work every day for 3 years and about 30 trips abroad, I was really looking for something with a bit more capacity, a distinctly more business, formal look and something durable. This bag has made me happy in every way. The leather is very pleasant to look at and feels durable. I like the blue interior - the lighter color of the lining (it's not flashy) helps you see items at the bottom of the bag and the dark color where items are usually hidden. There are enough pockets, but not too many, so you don't always have to play hide and seek with this bag. UPDATE - Now 3 months with this bag on 5 international trips and daily office use. This bag is worth the money. traveling great. Durable, attractive and roomy enough for long trips. I recommend this bag. UPDATE2 - Now 5 months old and still very happy. Looks like new after daily use and numerous trips abroad. Excellent purchase. and I noticed that the price has gone down a bit. Update 3 is now over a year old. Still a good decision to buy this backpack. Retains the original look. Been on 10 international trips and worked 5 days a week. I would buy another. Update 4 - May 19, 2012 - Still OK. Very good value for money. 18 months and looks like I have at least a few more years with this bag. Update 5 - 13th December 2012 - Even better value for money as I see the price has come down about 20% since purchase. Since the last (May) update I have used it daily and have been abroad 4 to 5 times. Holds up and looks ok. Update 5 - July 5th 2013 - still very satisfied. Looks great and no flaws. Update 6 - October 26, 2014 - 4 years and 40 international trips. Looks great and no flaws. The reason I'm updating is because I use it 5 days a week and it remains a solid product value. Still satisfied. Update 7-3 December 2016 - 6 years old - Showing some usage but no loss of functionality. I still use it every day! Update January 8th to January 27th 2019 - I have my second bag after 7 years with the first one - it was still going strong but I thought I'd upgrade - and the quality of the second one was ok. I'm going into my 3rd year and was satisfied. He has traveled all over the world and works every day. A good product. Update 9-7 December 2020 - COVID has blocked travel so the bag has seen few home office travel. So far it looks and works great.
