🎒 Berliner Bags Leeds XL: Stylish Vintage Leather Backpack for Men and Women - Brown, Large Size, Waterproof Review

I love everything about this bag EXCEPT THE TERRIBLE SMELL. STINK! It's going away slowly, but the boy doesn't stink. I know what new leather smells like, but it's the smell of new leather and the pungent smell of a wet dog. Everything else is of excellent quality. But don't expect to be able to use it right away, the smell will end up on your clothes. But mine is slowly disappearing. Everyone who sees it loves my bag and compliments me, but the smell is awful. Don't say I didn't warn you!

I am so happy with this purchase! This bag is perfect for me when I'm traveling or when I'm out and about at home. I like that the size of the bag can be adjusted depending on how the lid is rolled up. It doesn't feel too bulky for everyday use with the top rolled up tight, but once I need to carry more I can loosen the roll and it fits a lot more. The bag is made of really high quality materials. Both the leather and hardware are durable and appear to hold up to everyday use. This is…

First the bag was COVERED with some kind of foil. It could be leather conditioner but I think they should have wiped it clean before sending it out like that. I saw several other reviewers with the same experience. Second, the straps that keep the top of the roll closed don't have holes that go far enough to securely close this bag when there are only a few things in it (see photo). Finally, I don't really smell the rich leather smell of this bag. It says it's real leather but it has to be a…

I really want to love this bag. I usually buy fry packs but this one had some pretty good reviews and I liked the flip top which allows for different content. Can be a backpack for my art supplies or a sleeping bag etc. I like the reinforcement of the metal eyelets on the straps etc. I like the colour. Was very disappointed that the bag felt a bit wet when I took it out of the plastic bag and now it's covered in white microdots on the back. Looks like mold. They disappear but reappear. The bag…

So I bought this bag in April and have waited until now to review it because I wanted to give an accurate description of how great it is. As soon as you take it out of the mailer, you'll notice that the leather is softer and thicker than most bags. The inner lining is glued to the skin, so there is no risk of snagging or tearing. I use it as my daily commute and run bag, which means it has everything from my lunch to my stuff for a day away from home. I still have to fill the bag completely. A…

I always like to try a product before leaving a review and now that I've been using it for a few months I have to say it's a great backpack. I've gotten a few compliments from people on how much they love this bag and I've told them who made it. It is comfortable to wear and offers a lot of space. It's made from quality materials and has strong stitching all around, which gives me confidence that it will last for many years to come. The clasps work very well and don't let go of the bag. Long…

I bought this roll top backpack for my 29 year old son for Christmas. He loved it! It's so well made, really well conditioned leather. Yes, it smells strongly of conditioner, but it goes away after a few days of opening. It is as described. It's really pretty and well made! A great feature my son discovered is that you don't have to undo the straps once you've adjusted everything to get back in. Simply squeeze the buckle and the buckle slides open to reveal the bag. Quite useful for a weekend…
