I received mine yesterday and it was shipped flat, well packed in a large box. Upon opening and unwrapping it I found a beautiful leather duffel bag, nicely finished, that smells wonderful. It looks and feels great and appears to be well made of a thick leather. Due to it being made of thick leather it is a little heavier than I expected but not to bad. The only question I would have is long term durability of the straps connection to the bag . They seem very solid but only time and use will tell. So far, I would highly recommend this bag. Read more
I have now taken this terrific bag on two city trips, Boston and NYC, and navigating my way through both cities with this sturdy, beautifully-made bag was a breeze. I was able to fill the bag with what I needed, with room to spare, the zipper was tough and slid into place with no issues, and the attachable leather strap fit perfectly and gives you ample support to wear it over your shoulder. In short, for this price point, this is an incredible leather bag to own, certainly the best I've ever had, and it is, indeed, the real thing. It also looks better than it appears in the picture, when it's usually the reverse. You also get detailed care instructions, a note from the maker, and it arrives beautifully packaged showing that the craftsmanship and professionalism extends beyond the bag itself. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon. Read more
Wow this bag is impressive. Really nicely made using top notch materials. High quality leather, nice stitching, good zippers and hardware make this bag very sturdy and great looking. I really don’t understand how they can sell this bag at such an inexpensive price (I’m not complaining!) It rivals other bags that sell for hundreds more. I almost passed by this bag when I was shopping because the low price led me to believe it was a junk product but I’m glad I ordered it because it’s a really really nice bag at any price! Read more

I was skeptical of these many good reviews, specially for leather good this is rare to happen. I tried another brand, 30% cheaper, the leather quality was much worse, different panels being different quality or heavily died with a die that could be rubbed off. This product, still reasonable price, really good leather. I tried a tad of rubbing alcohol underneath it, the dye didn't come off either. I really like the real color type of color, and after adding a layer of leatherhoney conditioner, it became a tad darker and the perfect color I liked. (Obviously as they say real leather might have different colors per bag, but they're not mix and matching per bag and it looks very nice). Read more
Great quality and perfect size for traveling. Read more
Received the 20” version yesterday and really like the look and size. Leather is thick and sturdy, well stitched. My only complaint is that there is no ‘resistant pull tab’ on either side of the bag for opening and closing the zipper. It’s actually a little difficult to zip as you don’t have the little leather resistant flap to hold onto while pulling the zipper in the opposite direction. Every bag has these except this one. You can use the shoulder strap mounts on each side of the bag to serve the same purpose but due to their location they’re not as effective as a simple flap of leather you can hold onto on each side. Not a huge deal but you will instantly miss it and wonder why they didn’t include. I’ll just make my own and sew on using previous leather swatches that have come with bags. Also, reading thru reviews, many tout the bag’s USA origin. These bags are made in India which the description clearly indicates. All in all seems to be a great bag for the cyber Monday price of $87.

If I could give this bag 10 points, I would gladly do so. I own five KomalC bags, and they're all outstanding, but, even among these, this one is remarkable. It is made of sturdy leather and beautifully finished. I examined it carefully, and found no flaws whatsoever in the construction. I have seen lesser, if similar, bags marketed by "Fancy Name" sellers at three times the price of this bag. At the same time, for all of its leather construction, the bag is remarkably light in weight. There's also no question that it will meet carryon requirements, even for regional airlines. I can find absolutely nothing negative to say about this 20" bag. It fits my purposes exactly, and will last well beyond my remaining years on this earth. KomalC (Komal Chaudhari, the founder and owner of the company) is that increasingly-rare merchant: one whom one can trust implicitly. Compare Mr. Chaudhari's prices to his competition. His are on the low side. From the bags I own personally, I can speak from experience to say his products are among the finest available anywhere. Judging by my own purchases from Mr. Chaudhari's companies, I can guarantee that you can buy his outstanding leather products, made in India by gifted artisans, with COMPLETE confidence. Its rare these days to get more in value than one pays for, but Mr. Chaudhari's products are just such items. I cannot recommend them highly enough. BUY THE BAG! And thank you, Mr. Chaudhari!
