Great bag and highly recommended. I love the bag and get compliments all the time as I travel a lot so it gets exposed to many people. I carry a Dell 14" laptop, Samsung S9 Ultra tablet, charging cables & bricks for everything including my watch, Shokz OpenComm2 headset, presenter, notebook, pens, cards, and various other items. Lots of room for those needing a mobile office or just the ability to carry a lot of stuff. I wish I had purchased the 16" version but I was worried it wouldn't be enough room. I have no worries that anything will get hurt, I saw some reviews that they worried there wasn't padded pouches. Very durable, great looking, and well constructed. There is a smell when you get it but when you have that much quality leather there will be a smell for a few days. Not a huge issue and it goes away quickly. Read more

I actually purchased the Cuero Leather Messenger Bag for my husband a while ago, and I’m finally writing a review because he still uses it all the time and he keeps telling me how much he loves it. The leather has held up so well and has that nice, worn-in look now that only real full-grain leather gets. When it first arrived, there was a slight leather smell, but it went away pretty quickly and wasn’t a big deal. Since then, it’s been nothing but solid. The stitching and hardware are still in great shape, and the 18-inch size fits his laptop and all his work stuff perfectly without feeling too bulky. The shoulder strap has also been really comfortable for him, even on longer days. Overall, this bag has turned out to be well worth the cost. It’s practical, stylish, and clearly made to last. If you’re thinking about getting one, do it. I highly recommend it. Read more

Where to begin. This is the most durable bag I've ever had and it has so much room/organization. I can easily fit 3 notebooks (5 subject), and two water bottles in the large middle pocket, with enough room in the other pockets for anything else I could hope to store. In addition to the main large pocket there is a pocket behind that for a laptop, with 2 smaller pockets sewn on to the front of it (that wasn't even mentioned in the product description). In front of the largest pocket there is a slightly smaller pocket with enough room for a small umbrella and a bit extra. It has 4 little slots for pens (a bit too wide for one pen but can easily hold 2 pens) and a zipper with yet another compartment for storage. On the front of the bag there are 2 nice sized pockets of the same size. Each has about enough room to fit a medium sized stapler and a recorder. Also on the front of the bag is yet another zippered compartment. On the sides of the bag there are some small, taller pockets great for lesser items you might not want to clutter the larger compartments with like a phone charger or pencil sharpeners. On the back of the bag is yet another zippered compartment perfect for storing packs of scantrons. Ultimately it has immense organization potential with so many pockets and compartments everywhere, it has so much room (the main reason I got the bag to begin with), and is super durable. The strap is extremely durable; the clamps on it in particular are the best. After almost 2 months of having the bag it shows no signs of wear and I carry a lot of stuff in this bag. And other bags of this quality were all at least $230, and typically much smaller. Plus, it really does look quite nice- I've gotten several compliments on it. For me the leather smell faded after about 2 days and went away completely within a week. I don't know if this is goat leather or cow hide but I don't really care or see why it would matter. It's a high quality bag for moderate quality price; the perfect gift for a grad student that has too much to carry and needs something that will do that and last. Read more

CONS - I am trying to like this bag., but this is not a laptop bag. Its more of a document or small tablet (<14in.) carrier. It does not have any padding or insulation. I had to cut to measure and add some foam rubber to one of the compartments, thereby rendering that compartment useless. I relied on Amazon's Rufus AI to give me accurate info about this bag and its ability to fit my Thinkpad PS16 laptop. Mistake! It was way off. The laptop will fit it, but it will not fit anything else. The charging brick will bang up against or press against the laptop. And if anyone knows Lenovo Thinkpad charging bricks - they're big and heavy. My cooling pad which is slightly larger than the laptop will not fit in with the laptop. *Sigh* . PROS - Its a beautiful bag. Top grade leather, two outside compartments, that will hold writing pens/pencils. Plenty of zippered compartments. Sueded leather on the inside. it appears to be sturdy and quality made - but for documents/papers only , not for electronics. You can place your cellphone or small tablet in the main inside compartment. The size that I got was supposed to be able to accommodate my PS16 laptop, and it does - without any additional room to spare. Thanks Rufus AI! Make sure you order one size larger if its available. Got a 16" laptop? Get the 17"-18" size. Just remember you'll have to add your own padding. Read more

Fine quality leather, very homogeneous appearance so I rubbed in some leather conditioner and scuffed it up a bit for a weathered patina look. Brass buckles (note: not snaps) were good quality and plentiful. Double stitching throughout. Strap is a bit long for one-shoulder use (I'm 5'9"), but i can fix that. The craftsmanship and overall quality exceeded expectations and the modest price is a nice bonus. Read more
