VELEZ Top Grain Leather Messenger Bag for Men - 17 inch Laptop Briefcase - Vintage Handmade Shoulder Work Computer Bags

I had a fabric messenger bag that was hanging on my a thread. This one has several features I really value. First, it doesn't have a bunch of buckles to secure the top. I knew I wouldn't want to mess with those. The quality of leather is good. Color has turned out to be just what I wanted. And it has just enough room but isn't too bulky.

I wanted to like this bag, it's nice leather, had all the features I wanted (suitcase strap, useful pockets, fits 17" laptop), but the quality of the buckles makes it useless. The right snap never actually "snapped" as it seems the spring doesn't pop out the snap to be able to engage when it passes through the metal loop. The second snap ripped out of the leather on the flap on the first trip I used the bag. It has two tiny screws that hold it into the leather, one of them ripped out. Great leather bag ruined by going cheap on the hardware.

I purchased this bag 4 months ago. The quality of the leather and design is really nice. I was very happy with it, but within a couple of months the stitching and leather on the handles started to come apart, and also the stitching elsewhere. Bag is not really usable now because of the handles.

The look and appearance is nice enough however it’s smaller than expected ( my laptop just barely fits with room for cords, support items and not much else). And as soon as you go to lift the bag with normal load you realize the clasp hardware is useless.So It opens leaving contents in the front pockets exposed…

I don’t recommend this bag in black color since it stained my clothes when I was wearing it using belt over the shoulder. And didn’t come off. Ruined two pairs of shorts.

Black ink ruined my clothes. Do not get their fake black leather.
