KPL 18 INCH Leather Briefcase Laptop Messenger Bag Satchel Office computer bag for men and women (18 INCH)

The briefcase arrived extremely well packed inside of two bags along with the shipping box. Also, all of the metal fixtures were padded and taped. The briefcase has room enough for a large laptop and a folder or three of paper work. The zipper is plastic, but well made and closes easily. There was a smell to the bag, but after a few weeks it mostly went away. If you keep it in a closed space like a trunk it will be noticeable. Some leather conditioner will clear that right up. The strap came in two parts and is buckled together. This is the only disappointment I have with the item. A single piece of leather would hold together better. Still, being two pieces doesnt seem to have affected the the straps performance in the short term. For the price I dont think there is a better bag on Amazon right now. Just remember, this is an $80 briefcase not a $500 one and you will be quite pleased.

My husband is an adventurer and highly researcher of every item of his gear... whatever it is, he needs to do tons of research and make sure its absolutely what he wants. Of course, that makes giving him gifts a little hard since most likely I miss an important aspect or feature. Luckily for me, I found this bag and it was PERFECT, he needed a new bag for work that could hold his many items comfortably and play the part of stylish without being high maintenance.... THIS BAG was an absolute hit! I inspected the package when it arrived just to make sure it was what I expected, but all I had to do was wrap it in gift paper and hand it over. It comes perfectly packaged in multiple layers so the product looks perfect as the person unwraps it all (He got the ahaaa moment). I was surprised by how light it is compared to its size, so it work out wonderfully for him because it has a lot of space to carry tons of plans, files, devices and tools. The quality of the material and workmanship is excellent and it looks so professional. He thinks I spent HUNDREDSSSSS of dollars on this gift so the price point makes it even better. I highly recommend this item for the builders, doers and adventurers in your life! Thank you Komal, your personal touch worked, we wish you much success...

I read the review and was a bit unsure of the quality, but with a good return policy, I decided to take a chance. The bag was very well packed to ensure it arrived undamaged. The leather is good quality and thick. The canvas inside the bag is sturdy and looks great. As noted, the color is a bit bright, not quite orange, but that is what you get with minimally processed real leather. I bought a bottle of leather honey and applied it, it looks fantastic, at least I love the color. As it use it and it gets broken in, I am sure the color with continue to get richer. My only critique is for the band of leather around the flap. It would have been nice had it been one continuous piece, you can see where the pieces over lap, but it Is certainly not a flaw, just a suggestion should a redesign be considered. Again, this bag is definitely built to last and great quality at a very good price. I would buy it again, though I am pretty sure I will never have to. The pictures attached are my actual bag taken with my iPad, but to the eye, the bag is definitely darker. The water spots did come with the bag, but I am ok with them as I want it to look broken in, I imagine it will get more so with use. The seller included a very nice note, with a real signature!, stating he would replace this bag if I was unhappy with it, so I am sure that had this been an issue, it could have been resolved easily. This is a real review, I paid full price for this item and am getting nothing in return for this posting.

Great quality item. Much sturdier than expected. It’s heavier than expected too. Very spacious. Good protection for laptop. All the straps are adjustable and functional. I would recommend this product. I’ll be buying another for a family member.

UPDATE: It has now been 4 Years since I purchased this bag, and it has been easily one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is a workhorse, carrying all that I need with ease, and I highly recommend the 18 inch version for anyone that needs a messenger bag for documents up to 11x17 size. All in all, a superior product. I have now had this bag for three months, and I could not be happier. It looks very stylish, and is cavernous. All of the things that I wish to carry I can fit inside with ease. As an orchestral conductor, I regularly have to carry music scores of the 11x17 variety. I can fit them easily within this bag and zip the compartment shut. Like most leather, the bag is stiff when purchased but becomes worn over time. There is no odd smell; it smells like leather should smell. The one thing I will caution is carrying irregularly shaped objects (or too many things) in the front pouch. True to leather, the pocket can become formed around what you regularly carry there, and therefore may jut out when the top flap is closed. Overall, a fantastic purchase. If the opportunity arises to purchase again, I would do so in a heartbeat.

It is very rare that I have ever in my 54 years, been this pleased with a purchase. Everything from the craftsmanship, the obvious quality hits you smack in the face from the thickness of the leather to smell of genuine leather wafting from the plastic the bag was wrapped in filling my office with the wonderful aroma that only quality leather emits. Happy boy over here. Also..now we know that it is still possible to get this kind of quality for a very reasonable price.. Ive paid much more for far more inferior bags. Go ahead a click on that buy now tab..you wont be sorry.

Ive had this bag for two years now and its had some durability issues. One of the buckles came apart six months after I purchased it and I attempted to repair it myself. Now, 1 1/2 years later, the bag had become almost unusable because all the weight is on the buckles and they just didnt hold up. Even though it was past the warranty period, I contacted the company and told them the problem. Surprisingly, the owner emailed me back, immediately sent me two new buckles and told me how to purchase more if the need should arise. Now I expect to get at least another two years of use out of the bag. This is the kind of customer service that makes me loyal to a company. When the time comes to buy a new bag, I will definitely purchase from KPL again. 5 stars for excellent product support and customer service!

This is my walking office. Padding for two laptops. Only padded on inside dividers one on each side, making nice middle compartment for extras with pen slots and open pockets. Buckles are heavy duty, padded shoulder rest for strap and the bag smells of leather, (yummie), stitching is straight and tight. For the price this bag is a steal!! Oh, and bonus not sure if its just what I have in it, but when I sit the bag down next to me at a seat or chair, IT STANDS UP RIGHT ALL ON ITS OWN. Sorry but thats a big deal for me. I dispise flimsy computer bags. Reaching in for phone, or pen during a meeting is imbarrasing unzipping zippers or just moving it around. This bag makes all that go away and I feel it elevates my professionalism.

This is the real deal. A quality product at a reasonable price. There is lots of organization within the satchel. I especially like the rear zippered compartment which allows you to place documents without having to open the satchel. The locking system for the front straps is a great addition to this product. Having to undo the straps, like a belt, each time you wanted to get into the main compartments of the interior would get old pretty fast. So really nice job on this. I have been very pleased with the communications I have had with Komal. There was a slight defect in the strap which was initially sent to me. Normally I would not have worried, except I am a teacher and I put a lot of stuff into my satchel. The last thing I needed was for the strap to break. I shared my concerns with Komal, and also suggested shortening the length of the strap. Im 64 and the satchel hung lower than I would have liked, even on the shortest setting. He said that the next time he went into production, he would make it a couple of inches shorter. And thats exactly what he did. A few days ago I received the strap via priority mail. There were no defects and the length of the strap was shorter. Thank you Komal! I need to write more about this amazing product, but I need to upload pictures first. Once I have done that, I will tell you more about this great product. Stay tuned!

great bag. Durable, plenty of pockets and it can handle a LOT of weight. Holds my 15.6 dell with ease, along with my iPad and a bunch of other things. Would have been a 5 star review if the seller had mentioned the smell in the description. This bag has a VERY STRONG leather smell, and not the pleasant new car leather; Its a smell i can only describe as farm leather. The bag comes with an insert that explains that the smell fades within weeks, which (luckily) seems to be true. Its been a few weeks and the smell has diminished significantly, although it still is pretty strong. At work i share an office and have had to keep the bag in an air-tight drawer else face the wrath of my co-workers. The smell is so strong that it can fill an entire room with ease! A few handfuls of drier sheets have helped things a LOT and i can now consider that, in the near future, a day will arrive when i can actually keep this beautiful satchel in plain sight during the day. Smell aside, its an amazing bag. Very sturdy, practical and good looking. I am very satisfied.
