McKleinUSA 94336 Lake Forest Genuine Cowhide Leather Laptop Briefcase - Red

This was a gift for my manager who was changing careers. The bag feels sturdy, looks very nice, and appears to be well made. I purchased the black which had a bright blue lining. The size seems perfect for a computer and personal items. It is an attractive bag.

This bag is absolutely beautiful and matches perfectly with the McKlein briefcase on wheels. I have paired the two pieces as my consultation bags for in-home client visits. The bags always get compliments and ooh-and-ahhs.

I regularly receive compliments and it holds my laptop and meeting supplies. It holds less than my previous bag but I am much happier carrying only what I really need. I carry it short distances and have found it comfortable. Keeps everything organized and looks fantastic. Would purchase again.

I was a bit nervous when I ordered this piece but it really exceeded my expectations. the bag is very stylish And made. Best Buy!

I purchased this in the red color mainly to use as a large "purse" and to carry papers and miscellaneous stuff. I wanted something classier than most messenger bags and not as formal and stuffy as a briefcase. I really do like it. I bought mine "used" but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived since it looks completely new and still had the McKlein USA label and "genuine leather" tag ( oof leather) connected to itPluses: Leather is thick , appears not to be split ( although probably is ) or "PD leather". Very high quality and non marking, should hold up well. NO SMELL ( slight pleasant smell of leather If I put my nose to it. ) Color is great , just like in the picture Love the external pocket for pens, paper pad, phone, keys etc , easy to get to for those things you use the most Stands up on its own which is great Fits my 13 inch MacBook pro ( which is inside a protective cover of neoprene+ foam type material) Love the handles , this makes it so much easier to grab and carry Very well made, good stitching , excellent metal hardware, the stitching is white but does not distract from the more professional appearanceCons: ( which are really not cons for my purposes and use) I would say it is too small for a 15 inch computer , although if the protective sleeve is removed it might fit- I have not tried this , Another reviewer states it barely fits without the sleeve. It does fit my 13 inch computer easily . With the computer in , it will not take all the other stuff I usually carry in my purse - but I will rarely use this for a computer and will be using an i-pad most of the time in the future. Without the computer there is plenty of room. It is "stiff" but this is the design and the thick leather and what I wanted . If you don't want this than this not the bag for you but this makes it more formal appearing which is what I desired. it is a little smaller than many computer bags but it is not "chunky" and does not look at all artificial or plastic . If you wish to use a 13 inch computer all the time it is probably , not the right bag for you, unless you are not planning to carry a a lot of other stuff. I thinks it would easily hole computer accessories only. If you use a larger computer it is not the right bag bad for you., I do not care for the strap but it is definitely useable , It is stiff and I probably will not use it that much but it is definitely long enough for me to put cross body for security if needed. Will probably hold up well with use. It would be nice to have a small zippered compartment in the front compartment to keep small items such as chap stick , paperclips etc but that is just my preference since I am going to use this mainly as a purse. Plenty of room for files , papers and thin books , Would not take thick books.So, overall this is an excellent product and I love it . I might get one for my sister for Christmas , I will see how she responds to mine. Great for what it is made for . The tag states it has a limited lifetime warranty for damage due to a defect in the product. Mine was sold as "used " so probably will not be covered and like all warranties it does not cover ordinary wear and tear , but I expect this will give me years of use without showing much wear since the quality is so high.
