Kenneth Cole Reaction Colombian Leather Dual Compartment Expandable 15.6" Laptop Portfolio, Brown

Been using this bag for a few months and love it. It's solidly made, looks good, high quality product.

I bought this laptop case in August 2011. I have carried it every day since. I loved it four years ago. And I love it now. The leather is very high quality, much like my old lambskin flight jacket. I've replaced my MacBook Pro since 2011, but this bag is as sturdy and attractive as it was the day I received it, both inside and out. I usually carry it over my shoulder, but the short handles are great too. The shoulder strap is well-padded, simple to adjust, and comfortable. The clips are heavy duty. The zippers and pulls are high quality and have never once snagged. All of the inside compartments are lined and have held up perfectly. There is plenty of room in a separate compartment for several files, along with a smaller compartment for phone, pens and checkbook. It is exceedingly well designed. This is a fairly expensive case, but it will serve you will for many years.

I have purchased several bags by Kenneth Cole Reaction and have found them to always be of fantastic quality, and each has a well-thought-out design for a particular type of use. However, I am writing this review more geared towards the quality of the company rather than being aimed at this specific product (though I like this particular bag and have traveled around the world with it over the last 4 years).When there is ever an issue with a bag, I have always found the company to be responsive in taking care of the problem. Recently, I received a replacement bag for this case that I purchased in 2013 because they deemed the issue to be related to a defect -- free of charge! A second time, Kenneth Cole Reaction replaced a new bag that had small damage marks on the leather. I plan on being a super loyal customer and will never hesitate to buy bags for my own use or gifts. The designs are always good and they stand behind their products.Only a minor issue that I wanted to bring up with this particular model. The bag I got in 2013 had a little secret compartment on the side that was secured with their signature heavy-duty zipper. Not sure what it was for, but I found it VERY useful for my migraine cure, which I place in little vials. Whenever I started to get sick on the plane, I just reached for the compartment, and popped the pills. This compartment is now gone in this model. Now I have to rummage through a larger compartment that contains other items -- not fun when being buffeted around is a turbulent sky on the verge of a a debilitating migraine attack. Aside from this minor issue, I am pleased with this product.Thanks, Kenneth Cole Reaction! I highly recommend your products!

Darker then expected

First the bag is full grain leather and for the price that is outstanding. I like soft sided bags for the plane as I show my feet up on it when its in front of me. Large amount of pockets for all stuff. Fits my Mac Air and The quality seems great. I wish the zippers where metal as the nylon ones can get off track when stressed out. I'd buy it again.
