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

Absolutely gorgeous! This bag is priced so affordable! I was pleasantly surprised and excited to give to my son for his birthday!

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.

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.

Received the bag and was somewhat apprehensive about the potential for a bad smell, however, no bad smell. There is a natural odor that all natural leather products have as a result of the tanning process. The odor on this bag is slight and not offensive and I fully expect it to fade with time as all of my other leather products have. Bag is made of heavy natural leather and the stitching was strong and attractive. The hardware appeared to be solid and the quick releases on the main flap is an excellent feature adding to the usability of the bag. There is an outer zipper compartment on the bag of the bag and the main compartment is closed by a double zipper which appears to be solid and well made. I am very pleased with the bag. I will update this review as I conttnue to use the bag to more fully address the durability.

My bag was delivered this morning, and I couldn’t be more pleased! It appears to be very well crafted, and there’s plenty of room. I love the way it looks! My wife saw it, and her first reaction was “It looks like you!” That may have been the best compliment she could have given to confirm my choice! My work recently provided me with a new laptop to enable me to work from home more efficiently during the pandemic. They also provided a “sleeve” for it, but it’s only big enough for the laptop. I needed something that could contain all of my “stuff,” and this bag is perfect. The center compartment is even large enough to hold my headset/microphone as well as my coffee thermos with room to spare! I’ve bought a lot of items off Amazon since becoming a Prime member several years ago, but this may be my favorite purchase!

I received my bag today and it is beautiful and feels sturdy. It fits my work laptop perfectly and has plenty of compartments for notepads and pens and other things. The bag is lighter than pictured but the note sent with it explains that it will darken over time. I am very happy with my purchase.

This is the second item Ive ordered from Komals Passion Leather. I recognized the name and I immediately chose a bag from this small company versus the other 3 I had in my cart that I liked the look of - because I already KNEW the quality if Kormals would be 5 stars. He puts SO MUCH thought into every single detail that you cant not help noticing and being impressed. All, I mean even the zippers!, of the metal clasps on the bag were individually wrapped so as not to damage the leather. Normal also sent a personal letter explaining the process of how he created the bag, and the best way to take care of it. Again - I am one highly satisfied customer! Ima stalk him on the IG too because Im obsessed with the beautiful craftmanship. Thank you!

You can tell when someone takes pride in their work. I was looking for messenger bag for work and this one caught my eye. I read the reviews and decided to take a chance. Opening the box I noticed the way it was packaged. The bag was in a plastic bag, inside a cloth bag, inside another plastic bag. On further inspection of the bag, you could tell someone took pride in their craftsmanship. I look forward to many years of use.

First off, Id like to say that I was NOT compensated nor provided with a review copy or anything of the sort, in exchange for my review. This is simply a review for the purposes of shedding some light on topics associated with this product that Ive experienced. I will address quality, detailing, and the infamous smell (spoiler alert: it doesnt smell). At the end, I will go over some things you can do to make the bag even better. I wont add pictures because others have uploaded them, and my bag looks exactly as those pictures do. Quality: This bag looks like it can easily be a $200-$400 bag. The leather is very good quality, feels soft, yet durable. When I open the flaps, they feel durable and tough, not cheaply made. It is a finely crafted piece, and it certainly does not skimp on important details to the structural integrity of the bag. The zippers feel a bit stiff, in a way reminiscent of more expensive products; it seems meant to be opened slowly, with care and precision. This is not a bag you would treat or zip up like you would a $20 Jansport. Shoulder strap works well and feels comfortable, and the buckles are tough. Detailing: It seems to me like this bag was handmade (It comes from India, I believe) and it shows. That can be a good or bad thing, depending on personal taste. For me, it is a good thing. The canvas stitching sometimes leaves a tiiiiiiny bumped up piece of string, and some of the rivets look placed by hand (deviation of about 0.15 inches on rivet placement, what holds the leather straps on the product picture in place. The smell: There are many people talking about a god-awful smell that is reminiscent of farmhouse or a dirty animal. Based on my receipt of the product, I have come to two possible conclusions: 1. People are grossly over-exaggerating the smell for whatever reason. 2. Komals Passion Leather addressed and fixed the problem that was causing the potent odor claimed in so many other reviews. Perhaps it is the second one, or I got lucky. To describe my experience, I was fearfully opening the packaging, expecting to have my olfactory bulb assaulted any second now, until... Nothing. No smell. I pressed my nose up close and smelled it; it smells like true leather. High quality leather, reminiscent of what one would find in an upscale store, such as a Saks 5th Ave. I went to a Saks 5th Ave recently to look at leather bags and out of curiosity, took a whiff (a good test for ascertaining leather quality, in my opinion) and lo and behold, the leather in this ritzy upscale store smelled... Like dog. That grainy, maple syrup smell some dogs get is what that bag in the store reminded me of. It was real, quality leather, and THAT is what this bag will smell like. Actually, I found the KPL bags scent to be less offensive, smelling faintly of a grassland. All in all, I believe this purchase is a steal at $73. I would buy this bag 100 times over, especially since it seems to be coming from a hard-working small business over. As a bonus, Komal (I hope thats his name) seems to be very responsive to people who have had issues with his product, as made evident by plenty of other reviews (I personally have had no interactions with him). So now, for some recommendations: -Treat it with a leather conditioner to loosen up some of the stiffness on the leather, and provide it with some protection against general use and the elements. The brand I used is Leather Honey. Provides protection and repels the elements without hardening your leather even more. A microfiber cloth is best to use. -Gently toy with the bag for a while. Meaning, open up the flaps, the zippers, get a feel for what the bag is like, and make it pliable to your needs. -Be aware that the clamps on the straps feel a bit rough, so some treatment may be needed for them (lubrication, against rusting) though I have no idea what to use. It could just be an inconsequential detail and I may have the wrong idea. In summary, this was an incredible buy and am very happy. It looks like this is a good business to support with excellent service and product. Seems handmade, which can be good or bad depending on taste, and there is no overwhelming smell. The metal used may need treatment to resist rusting, but this is speculation on my part.

Love love love the bag! Saw many and tried many but this one is the BEST! Light weight and well made. I needed something for school but needed pockets for other stuff a woman needs. Fits everything of mine! Please keep up the good work! Thanks
