Review: Exceptional executive leather laptop bag - This is the best and nicest leather laptop bag I've ever owned. The quality and texture of the leather is exceptional, all the materials are of higher quality and feel very durable, and the layout of the storage areas and pickets is very functional. It looks fantastic and much more expensive than it is. I like the messenger bag style, but this one has an executive/dressy look to it and is very professional. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better made and more stylish bag anywhere near this price and possibly even a lot more costly than this one.
Review: Very good bag - Looks awesome - one small design flaw - This is my first leather laptop bag, I have only used canvas-type backpacks in the past. I wanted something more professional that I could have during customer visits, and visits with senior management. I initially received the Kenneth Cole messenger bag as a present from my wife, but it did not fit my 15" laptop, so I replaced it with the 'Show Business' model. I have used this on about 10 business trips over the last 4 months, and take it to and from work on a daily basis. It has held up very well thus far. Pros: - Very nice construction, shows no signs of detrimental wear after several months of use - Zippers and clasps are heavy-duty, do not expect them to break down - Leather quality is very good, wearing nicely, looks very professional - Fits my laptop, iPad, all cables and chargers, some pens/business cards, and a few file folders - Has a separate zippered pocket for important documents or files. Cons: - Unless the clasps are closed fully, they click very loudly when walking (minor annoyance) - The bag is difficult to open when on my shoulder due to the curvature of the zippered section. I'm concerned that over several years the curvature of the pocket will cause the fabric near the zipper to fail. This has NOT happened yet, but seems like it could over time. - There is considerably less space in this bag than my last backpack-type bag. When transitioning, I had to leave a lot of non-essential items out (however, that bag also tipped the scales at 25+ lbs in airports, so it certainly had more than it needed). Overall, I was considering a 4, but my cons are pretty minor, or are expected, not actual. I have been very happy with the bag, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent, relatively inexpensive leather laptop bag. It is formal enough for meetings, but casual enough for every day use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Bag, You Won't be Disappointed!
*by L***G on November 18, 2018*

Looked at a lot of bags on Amazon and settled on this one. Price, compartments and 100% leather was my criteria for buying it. Man it sure is a nice bag and I'm not the least bit disappointed. I wasn't sure it was going to hold all my gear but it does in spades. I carry my work flat notebook 9 x 11 ½, MacBook Air 13" in back compartment and it well protected. Next Compartment is my iPad Pro with Otterbox Defender case, that's a padded compartment. There also another compartment alongside the padded compartment but I don't need it. Under the front flap is a zipper compartment with a pouch I keep 2 checkbooks, spot for 3 pens and a business card holder for cards. On the back is another compartment for slim papers. All the compartments have a zipper over them. The bag is a really soft leather and smooth. In my picture it looks like it's faded but that's the light when I took the picture. I don't drag it around too much, it goes from my house to my truck where it stays most of the day unless I need it in my office. It got rained on the the other day and looks like new. I was in Office Depot the other day and looking at their bags and they had nothing as nice and were a lot more expensive. I had my last bag for 10 years and didn't think I would find something to replace it but this fills the bill. Not in the least disappointed and recommend it a lot.
