RUSTIC TOWN 14" Leather Messenger Bag for Men & Women – Full Grain Vintage Crossbody Satchel – Fits 13.3"/14" Laptop – Ideal Briefcase for Work, Travel & College – Adjustable Shoulder Strap

I love this bag. It's just the right size to fit a standard laptop and it looks very handsome and professional. If you're worried that it's going to look cheap or not last - don't worry, this bag exceeded my expectations. It looks and feels like a high quality leather product.

Let me first start off by saying, the packaging is amazing. I won’t spoil it, but it’s just awesome. The bag lives up to the “you do t have to spend a paycheck to get quality” because this bag looks like you dropped about 1200 dollars on it. The feel is exactly what you would expect from a high price tag, which brings me to the leather. Yes it’s real leather. It’s thick not thin. I own a plethora of genuine leather goods from many different brands, and this piece stands up against all of them. You can actually see the meticulous details of the craftsmanship. Tongue bag is Veg Tanned, which if you’re not familiar, is actually a better tanning process for leather not only for the material but for the environment. Onto the SMELL. Oh my god I wish I could bottle this and have it as an air freshener. It’s what I wish my leather seats in my car would smell like. Again this is due to the Veg Tanning of the bag. The inside of the bag is very functional, and fits a 12.9” iPad Pro with the magic keyboard case perfectly. There are two other slots for additional things like notebooks, files etc, and a zipper pocket that is very deep and wide. My only complaint and seriously the only one is there isn’t a dedicated pen slot inside the bag. I had to place my Apple Pencil in the zipper pocket. If the creator added pen slots on the inside, this would round out the bag to perfection, but honestly it’s not a deal breaker for me and shouldn’t be for you either. Just stop reading and one click buy this, you won’t regret it.

My husband loves this bag. Attractive, quality craftsmanship, fits his laptop, iPad, notepad and calendar, etc. And I love it because it replaces the embarrassing beat-up old leather bag that he had been carrying.

Second Order Replacement: Smell: A little strong the first one, not super leather smell but not some strong chemical smell. Some fresh air and it should be just fine. Leather: Nice quality Lining and Stitching: Much Better Quality Control was on top of things this time. First Order: So I ordered this product as I am big fan of the hand crafted look it provides, however I am returning it. Let me explain. So I was a little concerned when I got it, about quality as I read some of the reviews but I thought I would give it a shot. Smell: So I noticed a number of complaints about the smell so, I was expecting a strong chemical smell. Which I can say it doesn't not have. If I had to describe it I would say more like saw dust or the smell of a wood shop class. Overall not that new leather smell everyone hopes for but not some toxic smell as suggested by other reviews. Leather: First the color, the quality of the leather is both exactly what I expected and what I hoped for. So over all that was great. Is it Coach purse quality no, is it glossy and shine no. It is more rustic which I like. Size: So for a 14" 2024 Macbook pro it fits nicely. It is small but that is what I was going for so again that is a win. Stitching and Lining: This is where the product fell sort. First the strap leather is u-evenly cut and frayed. which from a quality control issue is not a good sign but again not the end of the world. However I can not say the same of the quality of material used. It is a very poor and thin material. The result being tears and fraying, leading to holes in the laptop area. This was the factor that made me decided that I was not happy. I have order a replacement to give it a second chance hopefully the replacement will be better. I will update my review when the second bag comes.

The color pictured is not what I got. I looked around at other satchels and I did not like the dark colors. This one caught my eye because it was a nice orange/brown color. What I got was dark brown solid with no character. I am not happy with it. It looks cheap. my first picture is what I got. The second picture is what I should’ve gotten. The third picture is a close-up of how solid. Brown is. The fourth picture is what it should have looked like.

I rarely write reviews but I was very impressed with this bag. The leather is soft and beautiful. The bag is well constructed and roomy. Was very impressed with the attention to detail in the packaging. Good job.

I love this bag so much. I bought it for work to carry my personal Mac and a few things around with me. It worked great! My only issue is that I wish I had bought the bigger one. I thought being smaller would be nicer to carry around (which it is) but I didn't anticipate running out of room so quickly. I still use it a lot but its more of my weekend out bag than my work bag. I still really wish I had bought the bigger one. But hey it's still an amazing bag. Its fit, feel, look, and durability all exceeded my original expectations.

The bag is well made, seems sturdy enough, but it smells terrible and strong, very strong. The older reviews, back in 2020, mention that it actually smells good, but they either changed their tanning process or the oils to condition the leather. It smells a cross between manure and fertilizer. I left it outside overnight, hoping to lessen the very strong smell, but it didn’t help. I enjoy the smell of leather and prefer its sturdiness, and own many leather goods, but I’ve never encountered this. It’s been a couple of weeks and it has gotten better, enough that I’m not going to hassle with returning it, but buyer beware.
