I've dreamed of a bag like this for many years. honest.

I needed to prepare to take one of my 15 inch laptops and found this bag online. took it out and unwrapped it, i was stunned. This is craftsmanship and the highest quality. Serious. I'm 74 years old and this looks like a bag I might use when teaching elementary or high school or college or even high school. I worked as a teacher in prisons for many years. I've only had it for a few days and I know that such an exceptional bag is not enough. I hope for a second soon. I can't leave my laptop bag…

  • Imported
Cons
  • Some Cons

I feel the need to update my review of this bag after almost a year of use. I still like the quality of the bag, but after the leather has loosened with use, the locking tab now hangs about two inches below the bottom of the bag. Looks sloppy and that's why I don't carry a bag anymore. The magnetic snaps are pretty much useless and when I can get them to "catch" the front flap has an unsightly crease from the stretching of the bag in use. Result. I throw my bag away and won't buy it again. I…

Wow! This bag is great!

UPDATE: After a year of owning this bag, it is softer and larger than when I started. With age it develops a very nice patina. I applied a coat of Dr Martens Wonder Balm when I first got it and let it sit for a few days. It is a natural beeswax product that helps maintain and soften the skin. Very happy with this purchase. I just received my order and it far exceeds my expectations. The bag is very well made and beautiful. This is a type of naturally tanned leather that looks like it will…

Pros
  • ✅ SUITABLE FOR BUSINESS OR EVERYDAY LIFE. It has that elusive leather messenger look while being urban and trendy at the same time; with brass buckles and hardware, durable lining and stitching, and YKK zippers.
Cons
  • Not bad

Poor Quality: Bags, Cases & Suitcases

Not real leather, not even anything that looks like leather. The bag had a very strong, distinct, unpleasant odor. I'm not sure what material was used but it left very visible and large greasy marks on the Revain box it was in which made me wary of putting anything inside or wearing it on my body for fear that the material would ruin things I can ask. in a pocket or my clothes. Returned immediately, not recommended.

Pros
  • ✅ BETTER THAN A BACKPACK: With a messenger bag, it's easy to find what you need on a crowded commute to work, no need to shoot in a busy subway, and it's harder to catch pickpockets to approach
Cons
  • No version

Beautiful but smells like barn hay covered in goat urine and droppings

I am so sad to give such a bad review for this product. I know Rustic Town from another company they work with and I love what Rustic Town stands for and I love the quality of the bags I've gotten from them in the past. I really wanted a work laptop bag that was of this quality as I was aware of the same high ethics that go into making a bag. I personally know quite a few people who have received a bag of "goat". "Smell" and they said it had weathered over time and worked great so I wasn't…

  • Canvas

Great product for the price

I've had this bag for a week now and so far so good. Looks like the photo, nice leather on the outside and tarpaulin on the inside. Looks well made, feels solid, stains won't transfer from the leather, metal eyelets are strong. A bonus that I didn't mention in the description, or may have overlooked, is that the flap and pocket have magnetic buttons that keep the flap closed when snapped shut. In terms of laptop setup, I have a 15 inch Dell Latitude E 6530 with a large battery. The laptop fits…

Pros
  • ✅ GENUINE DURABLE GOAT LEATHER 100% genuine, not PU or artificial but natural, beautiful and handmade; Oiled and aged, this backpack only gets better with age and smells amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad but...
