I was honestly afraid this bag wouldn't come as advertised but I was dead wrong. They delivered exactly what was stated. The bag itself is real leather, not faux leather. It arrived in a box that contained a plastic bag that contained the bag but inside was a real cloth bag that contained a shoulder bag to protect it. I still use this bag when I'm not using it because it really protects it. The bag itself holds a lot more than I thought it would. The strap on this one can be used or not. I am currently using it and find it very comfortable for my shoulder. I keep a lot of documents in this bag, as well as a few folders and a paperback. Even with all the stuff I have in this bag, it holds up way better than I thought it would. Also made of high quality material.
