Review on 👜 Polare Retro-inspired Messenger Bag: 17" Men's Laptop Briefcase with Full Grain Leather and Premium YKK Zippers by David Barit

This may be the first time I've given a product four stars and returned it. The bag is beautiful. The leather is thick and supple, and the finish looks solid both inside and out. It's like a bag that you would pass on to your kids and they would pass it on to theirs. It's how memory is designed that destroys it. There are some small issues - an unusually high number of credit card slots and not enough useful compartments for pens, chargers etc - but the main issue is how limited the main storage areas are for such a large bag. The bottom of the bag expands well, making it feel like you can fit a ton of papers, notepads, laptops, etc., but the interior is divided into three distinct sections, each of which is too small to be useful . I don't think I'm describing it well, but it's like a 70's car, huge on the outside and cramped on the inside. I'm leaving it for a week to wear to and from work and I may revise it up or down the star depending on how things go. Edit a few weeks later: Well, I kept it, but only because I had drawn the leather from a few weeks of use and I'd be sorry to return it. As I said, leather is beautiful and once it's broken in, it looks even better. But he just doesn't have enough stuff with him. I bought a $50 waxed canvas bag here at Revain, it's a little smaller but has a central opening with padded dividers that looks almost as nice and holds a lot more. I find some use for this bag but not for daily commuting back and forth.
