Get into Show Business,
This is my first leather laptop bag and I’ve used backpacks ever since. I just decided go for something different, and professional, and I couldn’t be any happier when I got this bag today. But instead of providing a paragraph or two for a review, below is a bulleted list which I think may well serve you best should you need help in deciding to buy this or not:
What I like about this product:
- Design: nicely designed, not too formal nor casual, perfect for work
- Leather: rich and soft leather and authentic as far as I can tell
- Interior: fully lined and single stitched
- Locks/zippers/hooks/rings: bronzed metal that adds to the bag’s character
- Front compartment: pouch for a phone, 2 pen holders, 3 credit/business cards slots, one wide zippered pouch
- Middle compartment: holds 15.4 inch laptops; ample space for other items, 3 open pouches (for your mouse, power adapter/cord, and perhaps an external HDD)
- Rear compartment: zippered and can store important documents separately
- Rear exterior pocket: with velcro, for stuff that you need easy access to
- Strap: padded and is comfortable so far
- Top handle: appears to be sturdy
- Packaging: delivered in an amazon box and in its own Kenneth Cole box; bag itself is inside a synthetic/cloth pouch to protect the leather from scratches
What I don’t like about this product:
- None so far, will update this if I see any flaws
Verdict: Design. Features. Recommended.

More than you could ask for in a messenger bag,
When it comes to men and “bags”, there is a fine line between something effective but also stylish in a masculine way. Kenneth Cole has achieved both. I had been searching for a messenger bag that would be effective without being bulky, stylish yet masculine, and also at a price that wasn’t ridiculous. When I opened the package, the first impression stated it all. The bag is perfect in size and dimensions. Large enough to accommodate more than you realize, yet small enough not to be a bulky leather sack you have to lug around. The leather material (and YES it is leather and not something else like another review stated) is excellent in quality as well as thickness for a leather bag. The lining is smooth and padded appropriately where needed. The clasps are solid – and not hard at all to work. These are far better than a magnet holding things together. Final verdict – this is the perfect messenger bag. Well done Kenneth Cole! And Amazon for carrying such a high-quality product!

Highest Quality, Absolutely Beautiful Bag,
I bought this bag for my son in law for Christmas. The price was right and it appeared to be a really nice bag in the photos. Upon receiving it, I was stunned and shocked at the beauty of this bag. The leather is some of the finest and softest I’ve ever felt. The construction is absolutely flawless. The look is extremely expensive, yet the price was so reasonable, I was doubtful in the beginning at what it might look like. Well, I can tell you with complete honesty, this is the finest bag I’ve ever held in my hands. I retired after 35 years always carrying a bag or briefcase of some sort, but never did I ever have a bag of such fine quality in my life. After I recoup from the Holiday season, I plan on buying another one of these bags, but in a different color for myself, I really don’t need one. I’ll buy one to carry my laptop while traveling and get rid of my canvass looking laptop bag.
Now I want to tell you about this bag. It will easily fit most standard size laptops and it has an additional compartment for a Ipod, Kindle or other flat electronic gadget. The laptop part is padded to protect your computer, it has side compartments to carry your charger, cords and even a small set of headphones. The main center compartment will hold files, magazines, reports. It also has three additional divided compartments to hold business cards, writing instruments, maybe a small calculator, credits cards or I’D. badges. I was a little worried about the buckle system, thinking you would have to mess with buckling or unbuckling each time you need access to this bag, but not to worry. These buckles snap together very securely, yet open just as easy. The stitching is beautiful, as is the leather. So soft and supple and has that lovely smell of fine leather. It comes with a attached handle and removable strap that you can cross carry it, especially in an environment where you may worry about someone grabbing it and running off with your computer, work or other goodies. The overall look is very expensive. It worth much, much more than I paid for it. Empty, this bag is about 4″ thick, that could expand to say 6″ fully loaded. While carrying a laptop and a Ipod, it will maintain it’s original thickness. Once you add the charger, cables and maybe a set of headphones, some folders and a magazine or two, it may expand another inch or so, but don’t worry about the size, you’ll be totally happy with everything about this bag.
Either as a gift or perhaps one for yourself, if you need or desire the absolute best bag you can obtain at any price, buy this bag, you won’t be disappointed one bit. Come Christmas morning, I’m sure my son-in-law will love his new computer case, man-bag, briefcase or whatever type bag he so chooses to call it, he’ll love it.
