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

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.

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.

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 qualityLining 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.

Got the 14". Nice size, well made, virtually no smell. Strap is seat belt material (which makes sense) with a decorative leather outside.

Perfect size for carting a couple of bibles and our Sunday school material to church, which is what I wanted it for. It will also carry two iPads and a couple of books to the park when we want to head that direction.

The bag itself is quite nice. The quality is what you would expect from a 50$ bag but the smell is just awful and after a week of airing and numerous attempts with special leather waxs and deodorants - nothing helps.It's not your usual new leather smell (which I love) but rather a very offensive chemical smell which render this bag unwearable.

Bought a dopp kit prior. The quality of it was amazing. This feels like faux leather, and cheaply constructed in comparison. This feels like bonded leather. The photo depicts raw hide, I received what smells like leather, but feels thin and crappy like PU.... this thing wont last long. Likely, returning. Disappointed.

Love this! Not to big, not too small, stylish. Good amount of pockests and partitions thats keeps its slim silhouette. Good looking manbag... err bookbag. I got rid of the weird manufacturing smell with Mink Oil... no prob. Great price!
