Leather Messenger Bag for Men and Women 18 inch Large Vintage Leather Briefcase Laptop Shoulder Bag Unisex Crossbody

Hello Passion Leather Team and Potential customers. I purchased this messenger bag on Amazon in August. My sweet husband was about to start his third year of medical school (clinical rotations), and his last polyester bag served him fine enough, but as all crappy quality items do, it frayed, ripped and broke. I was in the market for a new bag, but I didn’t want to have to keep replacing garbage ones. I SCOURED Amazon for leather bags, and I found attractive “leather look” but not the real thing— but then I found this messenger bag. It was supposed to be for Christmas, but I was too excited to wait. My husband is notoriously difficult to shop for, but my goodness, his eyes lit up when he opened the box. The leather smell hit him in the face, and he grinned from ear to ear, “Is this real leather?”. Yep. Proud wife moment. He spent the next hour inspecting in pockets, the seams, the buckles and interior. It passed his rigorous quality inspection with flying colors, obviously. He immediately RAN to grab all his things from his reusable plastic shopping bag that he had substituted as a carryall (how embarrassing!!), and meticulously packed the new bag. Not only did it fit everything, there was ample room for additional items, like his scrubs, his Ziploc bag of toiletries, and his Hydroflask. Amazing storage capacity— they really outdid themselves. He stood in front of the full length mirror, putting the bag on, adjusting it, carrying it, literally hosting his own fashion show in the mirror. He was positively DELIGHTED. The first day of his clinical at the Psych hospital, he was showered with compliments on the bag. The doctor he was shadowing told him he looked “more doctory” than he did. Nurses complimented him. Patients complimented him. The rich leather smell permeated the office and everyone LOVED IT. We have told everyone we know about this bag and website. Every clinical he has been to since, the messenger bag is eye catching and makes a great impression. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for making such a beautiful, high quality product. It’s attractive. It’s functional. It’s professional. It’s easy to carry, and travels well. The buckles don’t break and the zippers are thick and sturdy. Obviously, it’s leather so it’s water resistant but you do have to care for it like any real leather product. Spacious and easy to use. It’s wearable art. I am actually so impressed. Well done. Very well done. Sincerely a forever customer Read more

I have had a few Komal’s Passion Leather bags in my Want List for over a year and decided to finally pull the trigger on this one. I was very pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of this bag. It is roomy enough for my 15.6" Chromebook and it's leather sleeve, a couple of large books, a large leather bound notepad, my 10.1" tablet in it's leather case, and still has room left over for a few small or thin items. The two pockets in front are the perfect size for a mouse and power cords, even my vertical mouse fits in them. The side pockets are perfect for writing instruments, a cell phone or any other small item. I rated everything with 5 Stars because I really can't find any flaws in this bag. I am very particular about what I own and never go with something that is just "good enough", so when I say this is a great item you can take that to the bank. However, all that being said, there are two things that I don't like - one minor and one a little more not great. The minor one is I would have liked to seen the same concealed push button lock on the two front pockets instead of just the main strap. Having push button locks on the side pockets would have been great too. Not a deal breaker to me but a little bit of an inconvenience if you are getting in and out of those pockets a lot. The not-so-great issue is the shoulder strap. I notched it at the last hole to make it as short as possible (I'm 5'10") but the bottom of the bag still hangs to my knee making it almost look like a purse. The top of the bag is still above my waist though. I wish that KPL had anticipated buyers being under 6' tall and put in a few more holes. I have to say, I nearly made the decision to return the bag based solely off that. This is why I call it the (nearly) perfect bag. Fortunately I have a leather punch and can make a couple of holes to make the strap fit me better but I hate "damaging" something to do that. I still had to rate it 5 Stars because there's no feature that is specific to the strap and everything else is made so dang good that I couldn't mark anything lower. It would have been best if the strap was a single piece - it is two lengths you buckle together - or if it had a way to cinch it up. Bottom line - if you are looking for a high quality, very sharp looking laptop or messenger bag (I use this for gaming) then you don't have to look any further than Komal's Passion Leather.

This is a handsome leather bag. Ages well and is durable. This is my second purchase for gifting. My son uses this bag daily and has held up well over the past few years. It’s functional and stylish. Price is right. Read more

A very nice looking, decently made messenger bag. Very roomy inside with dividers and pockets in the main compartment. Four buckle closure pockets; two on the front and one on each end, and one large side zipper compartment. Main compartment has a quick release hidden under the buckle, very handy. The leather is very dry and fairly stiff out of the box, I applied a few coats of neatsfoot oil to get some suppleness back into the leather. Dye finish was consistent and did not rub off with the oiling. Looks even better after it. Stitching was a little inconsistent but acceptable, just a few little "glitches": merely cosmetic. I really like the rolled seams on the edges. Would pair well with a leather bomber, whip, and fedora. Carries all DnD core books and more. Or it's a nice looking large briefcase. Read more

Very happy with Komal's Passion product! My leather Briefcase came so carefully packaged, it's clear they care and take the time to make sure it arrived undamaged. The quality is superior ~ beautiful leather, lined with cotton canvas, stitching is well done, clasps and strap are solid. I used it immediately and my 17" laptop, computer accessories, plus multiple work files all fit perfectly. 1000 Stars!! Read more
