Review on S ZONE Vintage Genuine Leather Backpack Backpacks by Mario Madden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I just got this in the mail and let me tell you what I love about it

When I was in high school I had a leather backpack I found at a flea market and used his. for seven years before I lost it in a house fire. When I saw this article I decided to finally invest in a leather backpack again because what are the chances of me ever finding a $200 real leather backpack for $5 again? I just got it in the mail and let me tell you what I like about it. First a little background. I am a HS teacher who rotates between two different schools every day and I take many things with me: books, sheet music, copy papers, handouts, laptop, cell phone and charger, tablet, pens. , pencils, markers, music book, my binder, purse and lunch. This bag fits everything except lunch.1. It can also be carried comfortably on the back when fully loaded. Single strap or double strap, it didn't matter.2. The leather is remarkably supple and looks and feels like very high quality leather.3. Looks beautiful. I have the dark brown and it's just perfect, like a mix of chocolate and mahogany.4. There's so much space here. Serious. So much. Number. -In the front pockets you can put stationery, medicines, first aid kit, charger and wallet. - The main zip holds my laptop, tablet, cellphone, 4 paper binders, gradebook and class schedule, and a 1.5 inch binder. -Side pockets hold a water bottle and a thermos of hot tea.5. The zippers feel a bit stiff, but for about $30 I can take this backpack to a leathersmith and have them replaced if they give me problems. In the meantime, I treat them with care like cheap zippers: don't pull, pull tight, hold tongue and pocket when tightening or loosening to keep teeth from slipping off rails, etc. I like this pocket. Now I want to buy one for my eldest daughter and husband. With proper care, it should literally last forever. This purchase was worth every penny! If you're on the fence, go ahead and get it.
