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

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.

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!

defective

Wow! This bag is beyond belief. When I removed it from the packaging, I could immediately smell the genuine leather. The packaging was done very well, which was great because it was delivered on a very rainy day and I hadnt realized the driver left it outside my garage. Well, the double lined packaging kept it very dry and secure. The bag itself appears to be handmade. It is top of the line leather and the buckles and clasps and details are very solid. He contrast stitching makes it look very stylish. I purchased it to use while taking MBA classes and I wanted something nicer than a regular backpack. What I love about this one is that it can also be converted to a very sleek satchel when I am wearing a business suit to a presentation. It fits my 15 laptop just perfectly and there is plenty of room for my notebooks, wallet, glasses and pens. There is also a hidden rear compartment that holds my iPad! I have gotten several compliments on this bag. It looks like I paid $300-$400 for it!

This is an absolute amazing leather bag. Lots of D rings to hook things on or simply make the bag look cool and retro. The smell and texture is awesome. It is made from the most expensive layer of leather. Lots of rich leather and great feeling texture. Gets tons of compliments and stares.

I wish it was a little bigger or had additional compartments

Love the bag and get a lot of compliments! There are several ways to set up the bag to carry it and the bags come with 2 shoulder straps to clip on as you like. It can be set up a backpack or a crossbody bag. The main pocket is big enough for a laptop and files however could use a divider and smaller pockets to hold other items. The front pocket is large can fit a smaller bag to hold smaller items like chargers and head phones. The side pockets are great and have a strap with a clasp to secure the pocket. It is big enough for a large water bottle or sunglass case. Beware the straps can come unbuckled if left opened. I experienced this on my first use and would suggest unbuckling the strap if you do not use the clasp to secure the pocket. Overall, I am very excited about using this bag on future business trips. It’s exactly what I was looking for when I was replacing my computer backpack!

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.

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 .
