Polare Cowhide Backpack Full Grain Leather Vintage Daypack Laptop Satchel Travel Messenger Bag For Men

This bag is very well made and the kind that will get better with age. Thick, durable leather and the stitching contrasts nicely. Youll only have to buy a bag like this once.

I wish it was a little bigger or had additional compartments

UPDATE 3/27/2021 : I have had this bag for a couple years now and it’s amazing . This bag has traveled with me on many many trips , meanwhile being used 4 days a week since . I have overloaded this thing , thrown it in trunks , on floors / grass / dirt , shoved in multiple tight storage spaces , etc . It has a beautiful patina but still pretty much brand new . The leather is thick and strong , some areas have become amazingly supple and soft to the touch . Simply in love with this thing . Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this bag . I love love it .

This is an awesome bag and leather company as I have the carry on as well. The Straps are very versatile and the leather is firm and high quality.

What a gorgeous bag!!!. Im doing everything in my power to keep my husband from stealing it from me. I bought this item not really looking for it specifically. I was looking for a more flexible/loose leather backpack to travel with on an airplane and around the city and hoping to use it for school later this fall. So, I needed something with versatility to carry my Macbook Pro and a few books along with the option of traveling. Well..... I bought this beauty because I couldnt resist the quality and classy look of a messenger bag with the option of being a backpack all in one. Also, love the side & back pockets for my iPhone/iPad. Im using it now for work with my laptop and plan to use it for school later where I plan to pursue a doctorate degree (an early gift to self). I get several compliments from men and women. My husband even asked me to send him the link. LOL

The bag looks very good, though the smell is quite strong (has this acidic smell; need to air out for days).The design prototype is the from saddleback original classic backpack, so there is a seam, and that seam would irritate by rubbing your lower back (not a big deal for me cuz my clothings would protect me even rubbing happens). The leather is real thick and strong (0.4mm thick quality pull up leather), unlined on the side and some of the pockets. Im actually looking for an unlined leather bag, cuz like boots, you can never wear a hole through unlined leather). Straps are nice and sturdy, 2.5cm wide full grain leather stitched onto cotton strap, hardware looks nice and sturdy (they are not brass though). And Im able to put my water bottle into the side pocket.

Great quality! The bag is large. My only complaint is the weight of the bag. it looks great and I have received many compliments. I would purchase this bag a hundred times over!

I like how sturdy it looks. My favorite feature is the hook straps. You dont see a lot of that style around. Mine doesnt smell of strong leather unlike some other reviews I read. It feels heavy when Im holding it in my hand but feels fine as a backpack, not too bad. Im still trying to break it in because the shoulder straps are quite hard. This is meant for men so the length of the straps are a bit long for me.

Love the look of the bag. Leather is soft, supple, and durable. Brought bag for myself, however the boyfriend loved it so much he took it and we ordered a second one we are wanting on to arrive. It holds a 17 inch laptop, Galaxy tablet, external hard drive, 3 notebooks, a mouse, and assortment of chargers, pencil case, and various other items with room for more still. Bag does stand upright on its own and straps are removable. Quality is worth way more then the asking price.

This backpack is made of thick leather, so you will feel a bit of weight even when empty. It is nicely stitched with a contrasting color. I can fit a 17 inch Dell Latitude laptop in it. The straps are made of a soft webbing and are adjustable and detachable. Personally I would have preferred leather straps. You can also carry it by the top handle. There are pockets also on the inside. The two main inside compartments are lined with a soft material but keep in mind there is no padding like you find on a nylon backpack. Overall it is a nice leather backpack.
