This is by far the most beautiful backpack Ive ever own. Ive always wanted a genuine leather backpack but every brand I tried is either not my style or just too pricy. This is my dream come true. Just got it few days ago and havent got a chance to carry it yet, but the leather is so beautifully tanned and it has lots of smaller pouches and spaces with this bag. Leather is so comfortable and Im pretty sure itll be better as I use it longer based on my former experience with leather bags. It even has a section for my laptop. Now I can put my MacBook Pro in this and not worry about getting the surface scratched. Nice inside out. Definitely worth the money.

To start off with, the bag smells AMAZING. This bag is definitely made of real leather, and feels and looks great, and marks easily, like leather should, and I like the aged look of the marks. The reason this bag receives 4 instead of 5 stars is the leather dye. After reading several reviews about this bag bleeding onto clothing, I decided to rub a white rag across the bag the moment I unwrapped it. Sure enough, it came saturated in dark, reddish brown dye. Im not a leather worker, so I cannot tell you why this is, but it was worth checking. I am a mechanic, my car interior is black, and most of my clothes are black or dark blue, and I come home most nights covered in oil, so this will not be an issue with me, my wife however, likes to wear bright clothing, so she will be unable to use my bag. I recommended curing the bag with Leather Honey to keep it protected, cause investing this much money in a bag would be ridiculous if you didnt take care of it. That being said, I look forward to putting some hard hours on this thing and seeing how long it holds up. On another note, the straps are leather and the cliché bag strap material, and use the strap through loop method (similar to military duffel bags, except without the teeth to held the straps in place) and are NOT padded. If you have weak shoulders, wear a thick jacket, or pack light, cause over time this could wear on you, and the straps may loosen. I would recommend this bag to others, as long as they dont wear light colored clothes a lot. As to the reviews about the zipper, it does appear rather small toothed for a leather bag, but that doesnt bother me, and there is a leather working shop near me I can use to upgrade the zippers. I have not had it long enough to see how well it holds up, but I will post a new review if it does not.

This bag is really authentic looking and can attest that it is genuine leather. You can instantly smell the fresh leather when you open the package. It is very convenient for daily use as well as travel. The multiple pockets on the outside makes it comfortable to store things easily, and with the hidden pockets on the inside your important belongings are safe. I must say that the zipper is a bit stiff and may be difficult to open and close as the leather bag is stiff. As Ive been using it more often, the leather has definitely softened a bit and the zipper is not as stiff. With more wear it will eventually have that rugged worn out look. I definitely recommend this bag. It is stylish, comfortable and compact. Recommend it!

This is a heavy and durable real leather laptop backpack. When I opened the packaging the lovely scent of leather filled the room and I couldnt stop smiling. There are an impressive amount of pockets inside and out of the bag and will likely never fill it completely. The outside pockets are either zippers or leather straps with a Velcro fasten. Every interior has a lovely silky liner and the stitching is top notch. The side pouches for bottles are a bit stiff at first and can be closed with a leather strap and magnetic button. (The magnet is not the strongest and sometimes gets unclasped.) I intended to find a laptop bag that had the classiness of a leather briefcase with the functionality of a backpack and this is the result of my search. There were a few identical backpacks on Amazon with varying prices from different companies. I decided Polare because of the reviews but more importantly the double zipper on the main opening. I have used single zipper backpacks and get quite frustrated with this inefficient design. Save yourself some trouble and spend the couple extra dollars. I love this backpack but it can get heavy because of how much you are carrying added with the leather material this is made from. My one complaint is the flat straps for wearing the bag. I wish some padding was implemented on the underside while not removing the leather top. Its canvas straps anyways so would the aesthetics be that drastic? Overall an amazing piece of craftsmanship and bonus points for the steampunk/vintage vibe.

The bag is great value for price. Be ready for loads of complements!

First off, this bag is not for the faint of heart. Its not lightweight. Empty it weighs a few lbs. Thats because its made with real leather, incredible well designed, and sturdy. Looks very sharp and plenty of pockets.. For the price you just cant beat it. Protects my tech plenty fine and everyone that sees it thinks I spent $4-$500 bucks on it.. Im a Back Pack/Bag aholic.. and this one by far has been my go to from about the time Ive purchased it.. Love it!!!

Nice backpack, fits my laptop and other gear in very nicely. I use it as my motorcycle pack, and its really nice. Also gets compliments from folks. The straps tend to loosen a bit while wearing it and walking around, but its manageable. They straps could also be a bit more comfortable, but overall its a very quality product. The leather is nice and its well constructed.

Ive had this bag for about a week now, and I absolutely love it. Wish I had ordered it sooner! Its very functional and looks quite classy/sophisticated. I really like how anything can be compartmentalized and easily accessed. As far as the cons that others mentioned: it didnt smell too bad when I first received it, and the external pockets can be opened and closed quickly and without an issue (so far). Overall, I recommend anyone who is hesitant to give this bag a chance. It also comes with a 1-year warranty!

I bought this bag hoping for durability, and it did not disappoint, except for one fatal design flaw, the straps started fraying after a little less than a year. I contacted Polare, they stood by their product and immediately provided me with a replacement. The ones they are selling now seem to have fixed the issue with the straps (changed placement, reinforcement, and added riveting), seems like its ready to stand the test of time now. They also seem to have upgraded the material used for pockets on the inside of the bag (I had no issues with the original material but its nice to see theyre always working on perfecting their products) The bag could be a little bit bigger for my travel needs but I wouldnt ding it in the overall rating for that, and I get A LOT of compliments on it, so its worth it haha Ill update with any further developments but Im very happy with the bag as its currently manufactured and would recommend Polare as a company! (First three pics are the new bag, last 2 are the old one)
