The outside zipper pocket is deep enough to make small items difficult to retrieve, and thick contents might stretch its exterior shape. The bag includes a removable shoulder strap, which the reviewer considers useful when walking farther than across a parking lot. The large interior pocket accommodates an iPad Pro with keyboard case and a folder secured by a snap, or an average laptop.
A medium pocket holds cables and headphones, while three accessory pockets and an adjacent pen holder support organized storage. Two thick interior fabric loops provide dedicated umbrella and bottle holders, and the reviewer found the umbrella holder useful during downpours.
Reported strengths
- The reviewer describes the leather as smooth and supple, while retaining enough rigidity to keep the bag’s structure.
- According to the reviewer, handmade construction shows in the stitching and folds, while zippers, snaps, interior cloth, and thread feel high quality.
- The bag includes a removable shoulder strap, which the reviewer considers useful when walking farther than across a parking lot.
Reported trade-offs
- The reviewer reports that the handles are slightly too wide to squeeze comfortably side-by-side, causing them to stack vertically.
- The outside zipper pocket is deep enough to make small items difficult to retrieve, and thick contents might stretch its exterior shape.
- The reviewer finds the water bottle holder unsuitable because their bottles are too wide, although the loop folds flat when unused.
