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

The bag arrived in a beautiful cover bag, blemish free and smelled wonderfully like new leather. It took a minute to put the straps on as they were meticulously covered to prevent any damage during transit. The leather was stiff as new leather should be and has loosened somewhat as I’ve carried it. The shoulder strap has a nice, strong metal clasp and the strap is adjustable and easily fits my 6’3” frame. The inside and pockets are spacious and deep. It will accommodate my iPad, a notebook; papers, and a snack easily. I’ve had. More expensive leather bags but they had nothing on the craftsmanship and quality of this bag. I look forward to continuing to use it and seeing the leather truly break in. The note from the owner promising top notch customer service should I need it was reassuring and appreciated. I highly recommend this bag for your every day needs!

I bought this bag when I switched from a 13 to a 15 MacBook Pro because my other man bag would not hold it. Some people said their 15 MacBook Pro was tight but that was not the case for me. As you can see in the picture I was not only able to fit my MacBook Pro in there but my large study Bible as well as a changing table for my baby. There were also some other odds and ends like the charger and an adapter that I placed in the front pocket. I wanted to post this review to show you what it looked like with the computer because no one else had done that and I was concerned I would have to send it back. Nope. This is a great bag and I am happy with it. It is sturdy and beautiful. And at $60 (ish) that is a great deal since other bags like this are over $200.

Excellent, ordered another after seeing the quality of my first laptop messenger.

UPDATE: Just wanted to add to this, after having used the bag for a bit. Its still lovely and wonderful, still smells like leather (but not to any overwhelming degree -- more like, Oh yes, this really is leather!), still fairly stiff though becoming slightly more flexible as I use it more. Ive carried it almost daily since purchased and nothing has rubbed off on my clothes, nor has it caused any other issues. I mostly bought it because my old bag wouldnt fit my laptop when I needed to carry it. This one fits my 13 laptop nicely in a padded sleeve, with room still to put things in the main compartment. I dont think the color has changed too significantly, but it still looks great. I get compliments on it all the time! ------ I understand that the making of these bags is not an automated process and, I imagine, different purchasers have different experiences, but I cant imagine what others are describing when discussing an overwhelmingly bad odor with these bags. When I opened my bag, my first thought was that it smelled like a new couch (I dont have much leather in my life). Aside from that, the bag is beautiful and solid. I only just got it yesterday and understand that itll soften some with time and use, so the straps that fit into clasps are pretty stiff at the moment, but I imagine after I work them a bit theyll be great. The bag doesnt feel especially oily or anything...again, I dont have much leather in my life, so I dont have much knowledge of what new leather is like, but I know that it is treated prior to sale. I used it while wearing a white skirt today and had no sort of rub-off or residue on my skirt, for whatever thats worth. Sorry Komal, I apparently dont have the language to describe a good leather experience! However, Komals customer service is excellent. I actually bought several bags before this one -- first the 18 inch, which wound up being pretty big/bulky for my 52 female form, and then a 14 inch bag which unfortunately wouldnt fit my laptop because it tapered at the top (which is such a shame, because it was a gorgeous bag!). I spoke with him about the returns and he assured me that theyd be happy to accept them and continue working with me as I found the right bag for me. The 15 bag isnt overwhelming for my size and fits my laptop perfectly, which is typically the largest thing I carry around. It would also fit a binder and/or several books, I believe. The inside is covered with a nice green fabric and has a good number of pockets for those of you who are actually organized. Great purchase, excited to see how it ages!

Well-crafted product. Nice easy snap-in brass buckles. Eagerly awaiting the patina.

This thing is amazing quality for the price

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.

This is my second bag from Komal Passion Leather - I have a similar one for my tablet. Absolutely my favorite bags and the price is great based on what you get. Each bag is unique in color and clearly handmade. You receive the bag within its own cloth bag and a letter from Komal on fine paper - it really feels like rich experience. The bags are well made and very sturdy. I personally waterproof them, but most likely not necessary if you let them dry out. The bag looks and feels premium. Ive had my first bag for a year, and needed to replace my laptop bag, so it was a no brainer.

I like good, sturdy bags with lots of appropriate sized pockets. Oh, and I like leather bags, too. This one hits all the marks. Yeah, it has an odor when you open it. Walk into any leather store and youll get the same smell. If it bothers you put it in the garage for a week or two and things will be fine. The bag is also aging and softening very well. I wear it over one should rather than cross body and it does just fine -- better than my other bags. Have no fear of this bag.

This messenger bag is exactly what I wanted. The leather looks vintage and the bag is very well made. The shoulder strap is removable and adjustable which is good for me. The inside is roomy enough for a 15 apple laptop and a Microsoft Surface as well as a small 1 binder. The messenger bag comes shipped in another beautiful storage bag to protect it when not using it. Ive had lots of compliments on the messenger bag since I started using it. There is a minor odour when you open the bag up but in my opinion it smells somewhat like spices and is not offensive. If the odour bothers you, you may want to leave the bag out of the packaging for a day or two before use. All-in-all, it is a great messenger bag for an amazing price. Im 100% satisfied so far.
