Review: Makes a great medical bag - My whole career, practicing medicine, I’ve been inside a hospital or clinic. I never needed to carry my medical equipment anywhere. Recently, however, I started a job performing in home health examinations for an insurance company. So my day is going into random strangers homes and examining them in all kinds of situations. I have about a dozen items that I need to perform physical exams, like stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, etc. About half the time it is a poor exam environment, and I don’t always have space to set up my exam equipment. My first two solutions proved horribly awkward to carry and access. So I finally decided to buy a bag that would look more professional and work better than what I was using. Key for me were the two large outside pockets, outside the main body of the bag so the contents wouldn’t get crushed, and big enough to hold and access things like thermometer, reflex hammer, etc., quickly and easily, and without diving into the bag itself. Another key was its ability to stand by itself and not fall over. Last and most important it had to be large enough to hold a scale, 2 inch thick laptop, clipboard, etc. and everything easy to access while I am in a patient’s home trying to build a rapport with them. It’s only been a couple of days, but I am amazed at how much the right piece of equipment could make my entire job easier. I can now set up pretty much anywhere, have everything accessible yet contained. So this seems pretty much a perfect bag for my job. As for the bag itself, it is heavy duty and minimalist. I honestly would’ve preferred the style of several other bags on desertcart, but none of them had the giant outside pockets like this one. And this one does look good, just not fancy. The leather itself seems pretty bombproof, we’ll have to see if the hardware lasts. I agree with others that the strap is super long. Overall, I definitely recommend, this bag is versatile and well-made.
Review: Boyfriend LOVES it. - I am a very picky gift giver which is silly because I am not the one using the item. But I want the person I am giving the gift to to be as happy as possible. I must have searched through at least 50 leather laptop bags, and I always came back to this one and I am beyond happy that I did. I gave this to my boyfriend for Valentines Day as he has just got a big promotion at work and I wanted him to have something stylish and sleek yet still manly to fit his new position and he loves leather. This bag was perfect! The craftsmanship is awesome, it smells of quality leather, and feels amazingly smooth. It is not overwhelming with pockets, but is still spacious enough to hold his laptop, charger, notebooks, phone, pens, and other miscellaneous items comfortably without being bulky or looking misshapen. The buckles are sturdy and function easily, even one handed. The strap is strong and the connectors are strong as well. Its been two months and the leather has begun to relax and the bag still looks as amazing as the day he opened it. He has gotten so many compliments on how expensive and good it looks. I honestly don't think he will have to replace this bag for many many years to come, the quality of it is just that good! Added bonus that I won great girlfriend brownie points for giving it to him 😂🤣. If you were on the fence between this laptop bag and another one, do yourself a solid AND GET THIS ONE! You won't be disappointed, I promise.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it smell?**
A: Yes- and it's not a leather smell to me. It is a chemical, plastic-y smell (not necessarily the product, but the packaging.  Otherwise I love it.

**Q: How long have you had this bag and how oftne do you carry it? How is it holding up over time?**
A: The bag itself is absolutely great. I carry it everyday and it's only becoming more beautiful with age. However, the shoulder strap is horrible. After about 5 months the clasp broke.  I contacted the company and they sent a replacement.  The replacement only lasted about 3 months before it broke. It is made of cheap plastic. I only carry a laptop, ipad, legal notebook and a few pens and sticky notes so it's not like it's carrying 20 pounds of stuff.

**Q: I wear a white shirt as part of a work uniform. Does this bag have a tendency to stain clothing?**
A: It will depend if you treat the bag with any oil or conditioner. You can use leather shampoo to keep it from staining your shirt, but research the leather shampoo before useing

**Q: How do you keep the stain from coming off?? As soon as I touched the bag after opening it the dark residue rubbed off on my hands.**
A: I just got this item and have used it for around a week and I noticed no problem with stain coming off.  The bag I got had a nice sheet inside from the manufacturer including contact info in the event of any sort of a problem.  If yours did not come with this and has defective staining, I  wonder whether you got the authentic product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Three Years Later: The Best Bag I’ve Ever Owned
*by S***2 on January 24, 2025*

To say it right off the bat: this bag is nearly perfect, and purchasing it was great decision. Instead of reviewing it the day I received it, which wouldn’t add much beyond the product description, I decided to wait. Now, after nearly three years of consistent use, I feel confident sharing just how great this bag truly is. This bag has stood up to everything Midwest weather can throw at it—temperatures over 100°F, freezing -20°F cold, blizzards, torrential rain, and scorching sun. It’s been tossed into the back of trucks, taken as a carry-on for flights, and endured countless spills of water, coffee, and even beer. Each time, I just wiped it clean, and it looked good as new. I’ve also overstuffed it more times than I can count, and it’s been yanked and pulled by its straps and handles. Despite all that, the bag still looks and functions as perfect as the day I received it. -No wear on the edges. -The stitching is flawless. -All the hardware has held up perfectly. I started this review by calling the bag “nearly perfect” because I assumed I’d eventually find some flaw. But honestly, after all this time, I can’t think of a single issue. Knowing what I know now, I’d gladly pay four times the price for this bag because it’s clear I’ll never need to buy another one. The value here is incredible. Sure, it costs more than cheaper alternatives, but when I consider how long this bag will last, it’s clear I’ll save money in the long run. Before, I used to replace my bags every two or three years. With this one? That’s a thing of the past. If you’re seriously considering buying this bag and reading reviews to make up your mind, let me save you the trouble: just buy it. You won’t regret it.
