There's only one word to describe this bag. Fantastic! There's an ample pocket for your computer and there's tons of storage space for all of the other things you need while your out. This bag has tons of pockets and compartments. Also, it has one of the best shoulder straps I've ever seen. It has ample padding and it stays put wherever you sit it on your shoulder.
In addition to all that usefulness, the bag is very stylish. The weathered leather looks great and you can use it when you go to the office or for a weekend away. Dressed up or down, you can take this bag with you when you go.

I love the vintage-style stressed leather and retro design of this bag. Quality and solid construction are obvious throughout, as are its many thoughtful characteristics. The internal wall pockets are wide enough to handle my passport and wallet, and the padded electronics section my personal electronics.
My laptop won't fit in that padded area, as that area is smaller than the bag itself. Instead, I put my laptop in a sleeve and use the main internal storage area. Room for reading material even still.
The two front pockets are generous and in one of mine I keep a camera. Those pockets are secured by a metal post that pokes through the leather closure strap, more comforting to me than magnetic clasps.
On the bag's back is a super handy zippered storage I personally use for change, maps, umbrella, and other frequented items. Nice zippers, too, on this bag; stout with handy leather tabs.
Now the shoulder strap: so often a neglected afterthought, on this bag its a star. Small, but competently padded, it is utterly comfortable and slip-free. Also, this bag maintains its shape when empty, and doesn't look at all 'luggagey'.
Looks nice and tough, hopefully it will last (I just got it..as a capable backpack alternative).
I have to say, I put everything in my backpack in it, yet the bag looks so small. Totally loaded, its eclipsed behind my back when I wear the strap across my chest (Im 5'10 and 144 pounds). That super comfy, non-slip strap plus the truly amazing capacity of this well-designed bag should make for easier negotiation of crowded, narrow areas such as airplanes, transit, and city sidewalks.
I went with the black bag, to better match color of my shoes, which tend to be everything but brown.
With all this goodness plus the price, I find this bag really quite a value.

The weathered look is very appealing. The bag is soft and holds up well. I used it on a vacation to Maui. I packed my iPad, shaving kit and small tourist bag. A few more accessories I put in each outside pocket. Pretty much a small business bag for work. It doubled just fine for my vacation with plenty of pocket space. One thing that I would like to see on the bag was a multi-directional zipper for the main compartment. It was kind of a distraction because I am so used to them in other bags I have had. Even so, it is well worth the purchase price. Classic and vintage it would look good from casual to dress.
