Leather Laptop Bag Work Tote for Women Shoulder Handbag Briefcase 15.6 inch Satchel Computer Bag

I am not affiliated with the manufacturer or seller of this product or a competitor's product, and I was not compensated for this review.I purchased this computer bag 2 years ago. My 15" laptop fits perfectly with plenty of room to spare for a wallet, keys, notebooks, and water bottle. For short trips, I use the integrated handles, but for longer trips, eg, flying or riding the train, I use the bag's dee rings to attach a crossbody strap. (I don't use the crossbody strap that came with the bag because it's too narrow and cuts into my shoulder.) This bag is a real workhorse; it carries everything I stuff into it and holds up to dirt, rain, and snow. The zipper still works beautifully, although I do lubricate it with silicone every few months.And now for the most important question: is it REAL leather? For 2 years, I have been wondering, although I have used leather conditioner on it, just in case. It has been incredibly durable, which made me think it must be leather. High-quality coated leather can look and feel like synthetic leather, but real leather wears far better and can last a lifetime. When the bag arrived, it smelled like a saddle, so at least some portion of it must be leather.Today, I decided to find out, once and for all.My bag is stamped with a "leather" texture, and all the edges are finished. The surface is coated, which is great for repelling rain/snow, but high-end synthetic leather could look and feel the same. The material is thick and stiff, so again, it could be high-quality synthetic leather with an interfacing layer.I attached a photo that shows the wear pattern around the top of my bag, and it does look like a leather wear pattern, not a synthetic "pleather" wear pattern. I wondered if the manufacturer specified leather for just the portion around the zipper, which is a little thinner than the rest of the bag, but saved money by using synthetic leather elsewhere. All of the seams are so well-finished that I struggled to find a raw surface.For a definitive answer, I pushed open the zipper end tab and visualized the raw underside. In the photo, you can see a rough surface, which proves this bag is genuine, full-grain leather. (I confirmed that the end tab is the same thickness, pattern, and color as the main body of the bag.) It does make sense that this is a genuine, full-grain leather item; it's much heavier than one might expect. (It's a lot heavier than leather totes from department stores.)I have bought a lot of leather goods over the years, both as an equestrian and as a general consumer, and this is legitimately the highest-quality, hardest-wearing consumer leather product I have ever purchased. I had wondered if I was the victim of a scam because the price was so low (just over $100 at the time), but in retrospect, this bag was, and still is, an incredible value!

Product is just as described. Leather is high quality, the stitching durable. The use of space inside is so efficient. And it looks great while doing it all. I'm very happy.

I’m ready to toss all my other bags. I’m using this one daily, and I can tell it’s going to last for many years to come. It’s good that the design is classically stylish. The smaller strap allows me to carry it over my shoulder, with no pain or binding. I haven’t worn the longer, crossbody strap, but I did test it out, and am certain to use it when carrying heavier items. The bag holds sooooo much! I put my IPad in it, with charger and cord, a matching Bostanten wallet, my personal items like hand sanitizer, tissues, lotion, pen, face mask, etc., and I can still slide in my 32 oz water bottle. My phone slides nicely into the unzippered outside pocket, and Ive still got the zippered pocket for anything my heart desires. The bag is so easy to organize, and to keep organized, with the multiple interior pockets. There are fine details all over this bag, like the silver buckles to adjust the strap length, and the four little knobs on the bottom of the bag that allow you to set it on the ground without worrying about the wear or grime. I’m completely satisfied with my Bostanten purse and wallet, so I can put my personal recommendation here. It’s truly a standout item in my wardrobe! If you’re lucky enough to have come across this bag, you’re on the right track. Go ahead and invest in this timeless bag. I’d expect a bag like this one to cost three times the Amazon price. You won’t regret this purchase! Oh, I’m not employed by Bostanten. I’m just truly this happy with their products.

I love this new laptop bag. It’s professional looking, holds what I need to transport, and very well-made.

I would have given this a five star rating as the tote was really nice and well made. However, it came with the bottom part folded over and in a plastic mailing bag, therefore there was an obvious fold towards the bottom the tote. It needed to have some padding inside so it would keep its shape during shipping. I would re-order if I thought the packaging would be better, so it arrived looking new.

This bag is great quality! Was packed well when it arrived and I could smell the leather when unpacking it. I was worried it may be too small for what I was needing, but the size is just right. I am using it for a 17" laptop (measures 15"x10") and it fits perfectly. It is sturdy and stands up just fine when loaded up with my laptop, ipad and notebooks. Very professional look for meetings. The shoulder straps are a bit narrow so with the weight of my laptop they do dig into my shoulder a bit. I don't anticipate needing to carry on my shoulder for long walks, so it's not an issue for me. I highly recommend this bag!

This briefcase is beautiful. Leather quality appears to be right on point. It is a gift for wonderful young lady. I can’t wait to see her face when it’s presented to her. Also want to mention that I was very blessed to get this briefcase when it was generously marked down for a day or two. Making it an excellent choice! 😃👏🏾

Received in state time. Very fast. Packed well. Nice bag.

I can't find anything wrong with this handbag. Design is beautiful, leather is looking and feeling very good. Lots of compartments, versatile. Worth the price.

I spent ages looking at various ladies briefcases/work handbags and finally decided on this one. Arrived beautifully packaged and on time. I am delighted with the space it provides for laptop, A5 filofax plus A4 notebook on one side - then small cosmetic bag, purse, phone, umbrella on the other. Handles are long enough so I won't need the shoulder strap and I find this more comfortable anyway. Handles will also fit over winter coat. Really please with it. Recently ditched taking a handbag into work as old briefcase was big enough to do the job but this combines both in a very stylish way. Happy happy happy.

Bellissima borsa esattamente quello che cercavo,arrivata in condizioni perfette... ottimo acquisto

Expectacular. Buena piel, precioso diseño y amplio y espacioso. Caben muchas cosas, ordenador, documentos, móvil, etc...

È molto spaziosa e ben organizzata all'interno con tutti gli scomparti che ci sono! Ha uno scomparto per il tablet, che non si trova molto spesso nelle borse. Il pellame è spesso e per questo la borsa è bella rigida, come la volevo, visto che non amo molto le borse che si afflosciano... Unica pecca, dopo pochi giorni ho strisciato contro lo sportello dell' auto e si è sbucciato uno spigolo in basso, mostrando la pelle sottostante, che è di colore bianco..... Sembra quasi che il colore rosa sia dato sopra come una specie di pellicola...Aggiornamento: dopo pochi mesi di utilizzo i manici si sono rovinati rivelando che NON E' VERA PELLE ma tessuto ..... la borsa è comoda ma è di pelle sintetica, al contrario di quanto scritto nella descrizione....
