So this is what I decided on and I really do love this bag! It's well made, the leather does not have the odor to it that other's have written about in their reviews. The color is what I'd hoped for. The interior lining seems to be a heavy canvas, which is perfect as I know it won't tear. Plenty of room for my 15" laptop, paperwork, AC adapter, pens, checkbook, keys, phones (work/personal - I keep them in the front pocket). There are are five sections w/in the bag and one on the outside. Came with a very nice note from the maker and care instructions. Very happy with this product and on time delivery!
Update: tried to contact seeler three times, no response so i am downgrading the review for POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

This is my second bag. First one arrived with numerous heavy scratches in the leather. The box was in good shape, so I assumed it came from the manufacturer. Returned the bag and ordered a new one. Second bag was free of scratches, and seemed to be good product. It has the smell mentioned in other reviews, but it is leather, and that's what leather smells like. The storage compartments are spacious and can fit a 15 inch laptop with ease. After a few months of occasional use (3-6 times/week) The D-ring holding the shoulder strap broke. The metal actually separated into two pieces and did not just pull apart. There is no way to fix the D ring, but I have requested a new one a few weeks ago- and I am still waiting for a reply.
Durable AND Sexy

This is literally the best thing I have ever purchased on amazon.The quality of this bag is simply amazing. My mother thought I spent $300 on it. I have received numerous compliments on how nice it looks. The leather is so nice and so far it hasn't ripped or torn.I am very rough on my things. I use duck tape on my shoes because all of my shoes break within a few months of wear. I don't baby my possessions or treat them with much care. I believe that items should be durable. THIS IS A VERY DURABLE BAG!
Well Made But Not Problems

Very well made and nice looking. It gets compliments regularly. But it's not as functional as I'd hoped. The straps to close it are too long. They either hang down beyond the bottom of the bag or you have to double loop them as in the pictures. I double loop them but that means you can't open or close the bag quickly. Also my shoulder strap is not the one pictured, is long, and not adjustable. The handle is more on the front than the top and when you carry it by the handle it pulls the front up into a strange looking gap.
and overall Iâm very pleased with the purchase

Just received the bag, and overall Iâm very pleased with the purchase. I love the way it looks, and from the outset it appears to be well made. Time will tell.There is one difference in my bag from the photos that were shown; on the back of the bag, mine has an additional zippered compartment - which is actually a plus.There is plenty of room for this things I carry with me every day, although my 15â MacBook Pro just barely fits. Iâm sure the leather will loosen up over time.The only odd thing is that one of the leather straps on the front is twice as thick as the other. It doesnât affect the functionality, and itâs probably not something anyone else would notice, but itâs a bit unusual.
Worth a try for sure

I found this bag after searching for a smaller bag. Reviews were almost all positive so I gave it a try. Package arrived quickly. After a couple of days the leather smell is prominent, which I personally love. A very nice letter from the seller came with it explaining are instruction and a bit of background information. Yes, the bag is stiff out of the box, what I would expect it will soften after use. The craftsmanship is quite nice so I would recommend it. It comes in different sizes. One improvement I would suggest: add some smaller compartments on the inside. The bag has only compartments that go along the entire width of the bag. If you have smaller things with you can only put them in the front pocket. But again, wonderful bag overall!
You'll never find another quality natural leather bag at this price!

Absolutely love this bag! I'm an older technology pro. I've used old-school briefcases, back packs, leather briefcase with wheels, computer sling bags, etc... This bag beats them all. You'll never find a great natural leather bag at this price-point. It is natural leather, double stitched, heavy hardware and lots of leather characteristics. The odor others mentioned. To me, it smells like old-school saddle soap we used on horse saddles. It cleans and conditions the leather. That smell goes away pretty quick. They could probably find a better conditioner with a less pungent smell, but to be honest... it just ain't that bad. Just go with it. The only thing that bugs me a little is the buckle to close the bag... But, hey it wouldn't be vintage if it had a nice snap buckle. I wear a suit to work, love the look and get tons of compliments. I don't use the sling on dress white shirts. I wouldn't mind a shoulder pad to keep the leather off linen material. Otherwise, it's a DANG nice bag! Might get another one in a different size...
Stunning & Ages Beautifully

This is by far the finest bag I've ever purchased. Beautiful, beautiful leather worksmanship. I've had it over a year now, and I get compliments any time I carry it. After a year of rough handling and sitting in my high humidity house, it still looks the same, and I think the color richness has deepened. Yes, it will have a leather smell on arrival, but I let mine sit and "air" for about 2 or so weeks, though it certainly doesn't need that long. The fabric on the inside is nice and heavy, and every edge and corner of this bag is built to last. I bought this to accommodate a heavy 15" new (2018) Macbook I need for work, and it fits with plenty of room to spare - I've even slipped my 13" personal laptop in at the same time and still have ample space for random junk. The strap is sturdy and wide and distributes the weight well across my shoulder, so I don't mind lugging my laptop around.

A quality item which looks the business. I have been buying the cheaper Falcon etc plastic bags for years but these are around £30-35 and never last two years. This is fine but it's not cost effective long-term, and as it gets a hammering (I'm a lecturer). This is smaller than my previous ones but I want to carry less anyway. My Lenovo Twist fits easily into the padded centre compartment and with 4 other internal pockets and one zipped outer, there's plenty of storage. An A4 lever-arch and thinner A4 ring binder will fit concurrently. The proprietor appears to want to go to the ends of the earth for you, should there be ANY discrepancies. Excellent!

The look and features of this briefcase are perfect.PROBLEM with the unit is the quality of the leather and treatment.CONSTANT problem with leather "Fatty Bloom" or "Spew".Would not recommend purchase. Good/quality leather should not require constant treatment.

Great bag, just what I was looking for. I'd originally purchased from a different vendor and, after receiving one broken bag and one that was a completely different colour, I decided enough was enough and found this seller. It's a great quality and matched the description - very pleased.
