[Note added 1/1/2019: I was a little concerned that the hardware is coated in a gun metal finish; in my experience the varnish chips over time. I've had this product for a couple of months and I'm very pleased that the finish on the hardware has stood up to usual wear with no problems and the bag, overall has proven a great asset. I've had strangers on the street and shops compliment it on many occasions. VERY pleased.] The quality of all materials and craftsmanship is outstanding, very much on a par with what I have purchased from a couture label but without the X10 pricetag. This is a bag that will last for many years in style and materials. The style/design is fairly masculine, but the styling and quality is sleek enough that I could easily see this working for ladies as well. It is solid, quality leather and as such is fairly heavy compared to nylon or other materials that one may be more used to; if that's a concern, the smaller size might be a better option. I'm loving the larger size, more than adequate and well organized with 7 total compartments of various sizes for the things I usually carry and plenty of room for the occasional water bottle, scarf/gloves, etc. The only issue that I've noticed is that, while the strap seems to be secure when worn over my head as a backpack providing better tension, if I sling it over the shoulder (i.e. office to car) there isn't enough tension to keep the strap from slacking out of adjustment. I'm thinking of finding a discreet badge pin that fits the style to put through the nylon strap to hold it in adjustment; the consideration being that putting such a pin through the fine strap will probably mar it, so the adjustment needs to be just right long-term. This minor, solvable issue does not diminish my high rating and satisfaction with my choice. Read more
You can stop looking because this is the bag to get. Great bag for every day use whether used for walking the dog, riding the cycle, or just hanging around. This bag is a keeper. I purchased the Texbo leather sling bag after eliminating many other bags in this style. When I saw this bag in person the first time I hoped it would meet my needs as it was by far the best looking bag I have come across. Upon opening the package the unmistakable smell of fine leather is apparent. This bag is everything I have been seeking for a long time. This size is perfect for carrying all of the essential items I use daily. I find the leather is thick, durable, and obviously high quality. All of the seams are smooth and tightly stitched. All the zippers are well made. It has enough room to fit my wallet, I-phone 7 with Otter box case, reading glasses in a case, LED flashlight and my keys. I can even fit my I-pad mini and a few small items if I needed to carry something else I have many different styles of bags and backpacks I have accumulated over the years that either are too big, too small, or just not made well enough to last over the long haul. While they served the purpose for school, hiking, and other functions, they are just not functional for day-to-day use. After losing 2 pairs of $250 transition glasses I really needed something to carry the essentials. Unless you want to wear bulky multi pocket cargo pants every day, this is a must have. Best of all it does not look like you are carrying a purse. Highly recommended. Read more
This bag is great, the larger one snuggly fits my Surface Go 3 (10.5") and some if using one of the other 3 zipped pockets. Leather is soft, strong, and durable. All metal (zippers, magnets, and key loop) is quality gun metal matt black. This will be my goto bag when biking, traveling or just jounting around town. Just got it today, but as for now, I am impressed and would recommend this bag. Another Pro: It doesn't have a "no name" brand stamped, branded or embossed anywhere on it. Con: The zippers do not have stops on them, instead they go straight to the seams. I could see this causing zipper failure or zipper teeth to come open at the seams. Read more

It was exactly what I was looking for the perfect size and scale for traveling and every day use as well. High-quality with nice detailing even the zippers were a level above. I would definitely recommend this accessory For your travels! Read more
I wanted a slightly larger sling for an upcoming trip. I wanted something that was real full grain leather and not PU or faux leather. I had my doubts when ordering this, but to my delighted surprise it is real! It is real Italian leather, soft to the touch but heavy leather . It has extremely nice looking gun metal hardware. The zippers are smooth and durable. The magnetic strap is strong enough to stay closed, though I kind of wish there was a more secure closure. There is plenty of storage space. This is a nice piece. It looks either manly or elegant and sophisticated, depending on how it is used. The only knock against this is the strap on the back. There is only a small piece of thin leather holding the excess strap, and it does not work well. Easily fixed with a pin or a slide from a fabric store. I highly recommend this sling bag! Read more
This is a very nice bag. It's not very big, but then I didn't want a large bag. The largest zippered compartment is 9" tall and 7" wide, expands to around 3", maybe a little more depending on dimensions of object you put in. More than large enough for an iPad mini or an 18 oz. hydro flask with room to spare. All the other compartments are thinner. It has a lot of useful compartments. Two zippered ones that are the 9"x7" size (one of the large compartments has small zippered compartment inside as well as cellphone pocket), as well as good size vertical zipper compartment on back and smaller one on front. There is also a quick access compartment in front when you detach the magnetic snap. The leather looks and feels really nice. If my son doesn't want it, I plan on keeping it because I really like it. Or maybe I'll just get one for myself. Read more
