KPL Vintage 15 Inch Laptop Messenger Bag briefcase Satchel laptop bag for Men and Women

This bag is as attractive in person as you think it is in the photo. Very well made, they did not cheap out on anything. All clasps are secure and the stitching is superb. Can we talk about the leather smell?! It did soften with use but Im still waiting for the years of natural worn out Indian Jones look to happen. I get compliments everywhere I go with it. It does fit my laptop with plenty of room for extra files and books. I feel the sides are very well protected but I did add a bit of foam in the bottom just for my piece of mind since it is thinner and I dump my stuff everywhere. I am super happy and will defiantly use this company again! Full five stars.

Very nice looking and well made bag. Fits my 13 wide laptop (Dell Latitude 7480) and gear very well. The bag has a large 3 x 14 center compartment (10.5 tall). On either side of the large compartment are pen/misc holders and thin compartments separated from the main compartment with padding. It also has three 11 wide, 9 deep zippered pockets plus the pouch pictured in front. The only negative is that there is no padding on the bottom to protect laptops. This was easily solved by shoving a thin 3x14 slice of foam padding at the bottom (I salvaged it from the bag this replaced). Like most of my leather goods, I applied a coat of Nikwax to waterproof the leather. The leather took to it nicely, making for an even richer patina and slightly more subtleness.

After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase this bag and am I glad I did! The bag itself is not heavy, but is well-crafted and feels very sturdy. It holds my laptop, pens, pencils, student papers, texts, cellphone, glasses, wallet - everything I need. The leather is beautiful and will only get better with age. The price is more than reasonable. Packaging was wonderful - others have mentioned the lovely note from the maker and the pretty cloth bag that the messenger comes in. But care is taken with everything - the metal buckles are carefully wrapped so that they dont scratch the leather. Fine quality. I love this bag!!!

This is a great bag in both looks and durability. I have the larger bag as well and continue to get compliments on both. They age beautifully! Would highly recommend to anyone - and have!!

This 15 inch brief case is the perfect size for my 13 inch laptop. I wanted something smaller, being 5’4”, and the 15 inch is a nice small size. If you have a larger computer, I would order the 16 or 18 inch size. It is great to have more than one option for sizes. I received a purse from Komal last week, and loved it so much, I couldn’t wait to get this brief case. Another well made product with exceptional care in packaging! Just absolutely LOVE this brief case. Great for a guy or gal! I have received compliments on both the purse and brief case, with questions to where I purchased it.

This is a great laptop messenger bag!! It perfectly fits my 13 inch computer. It has padding on the interior laptop case for additional protection. The shoulder strap is adjustable with padding on the shoulder portion. Im short and was able to adjust the strap to fit my size to carry cross shoulder as a messenger bag. The pocket straps on the front have snaps so you can either unsnap or unbuckle the straps for the front pockets. The bottom is constructed so the bag sits upright and does not fall over when loaded. The seller put a lot of detail into the bag, including the fact it was delivered with a personal note and wrapped in a beautiful cloth protective covering. I am using this for a professional work laptop case. It has a mild normal leather smell, and I was able to take this to work with me the very next day after receiving it without any issue. I just started using this bag and am loving it so far! It has enough room to fit other items including my work notes, cord, mouse, and other items needed. I would absolutely purchase this again. I have already had compliments and others interested in purchasing!

Very impressed with the craftsmanship.

This bag is awesome and for the money its worth what Im about to say. The color of the bag is great, I like the canvas inside the bag (Im a male), it has snaps on the belt like fasteners for easy open and closing, and the zippers work smoothly with zero snagging. The packaging is a nice touch as it comes in a fancy bag with a nice note from the designer/manufacturer. The downside is that when it arrived it literally smelled like a petting zoo. To be honest, I oddly like the earthy outdoorsy smell of a petting zoo, but this is like bringing that smell into your home and its potent. I left it outside to air out for a few days. Little if any change in the smell. It started to rain so I put in the garage for a few days. It still smelled so I thought I have a fancy dryer that can dry sweaters without tumbling them around so I put the bag in the dryer on very low heat on the rack so it wouldnt tumble. Maybe it helped, maybe it didnt, not sure. Before writing a review I tried one more thing...I got a garbage bag, but the messenger bag in there, and sprinkled arm and hammer carpet cleaner all over the messenger bag. I left it in there for a few days and then vacuumed all the powder off the bag. That was the ticket! It worked, but now it had an overpowering smell of the carpet powder so I had to air it out again, but I think it was worth. The bag is awesome and similar bags can cost hundreds without having the handmade rustic look this one has. After all I wasnt looking for a bag a 16 year old kid would walk around with, I wanted a bag for the office that I could carry while wearing a suit, slacks, or jeans and would look great. This bag is perfect in all those situations. Dont give up on, spend the time to get that smell out and youll love it!

After reading all the reviews for this bag I decide to get one well two my wife wanted one also. She said she has always wanted a bag like this. This bag has tons of room for pretty much anything you would need during school and work. I have two jobs and a field placement I am doing and this allows me to put everything I need for all three with room to spare. I like the note that came along with the bag that was personally signed not a stamp of a signature but actually signed (which you never get these days). The bags had a slight smell, but is going away already. I just unpacked the one bag and loaded it up with the things I need. I also liked the bag that it was wrapped in very nice. All the reviews are true about the quality and space this bag offers. Of I ever need another bag I am going here and I will tell people where I got this bag. You have to understand that I a cheap and this bag is well worth its price (which I hardly ever say, I think this is the first time I said anything is worth the cost, but this one is) If you are looking for a great sturdy light weight classy bag stop and buy this one. You will not be disappointed what so ever.

My friends started going on about Komals Passion leather, and I happened to be in the market for something a little more classy (at the risk of sounding bourgeois) to come in to job interviews with, so I bit and bought this laptop briefcase. More for its briefcase properties than anything else. The bag is in line with what most of the other reviews say: it comes lighter than pictured, but it darkens with use/weathering (Ive had my bag for a little over a week and its already noticeably darker than it was when it arrived). When it comes, it might be somewhat oily and have a distinct, somewhat pungent smell to it. Mine came with this double-sided letter from Komal with his signature explaining that it was vegetable oil and the fresh leather smell that will fade away with time. It doesnt actually smell all that bad.This is all from my personal experience, so Your Mileage May Vary, of course. One thing I did notice is that the cloth inner lining of the bag will also darken noticeably from the time you get it - it looks almost as if the cloth is wet with oil. It doesnt change the feel of the bag - I just a little more partial to the original sort of pale green the inner lining had initially. Nothing game changing or worth removing a star over. If there was anything I didnt like about this bag, it was all simple stuff, like the leather straps used to hold it closed needing maybe one more hole bored through them higher up so that the buckle will lay flat when the bag is rather empty, but you can fix that if you know how to bore holes properly through leather. I not only would recommend this bag at this price to anyone in the market for one, I also plan to buy from this merchant again - another laptop bag/briefcase big enough for my 17-inch laptop.
