15 inch Vintage Crossbody Full Grain Leather Laptop Messenger Bag

I bought my bag in 2019 and I still use it everyday. It's probably the best messenger bag I have ever bought. I still get compliments on it. The interior is waaaaay bigger on the inside. So big that I thought I lost stuff in there. This is a great item, for a great price! I use leather conditioner on it frequently and it still looks great!

I have an Amazon Prime addiction so it's rare that I ever sit down and review one of the many products I purchase, but this thang is worth it. I want to go ahead and get my one complaint out of the way, but it's really the only thing. The strap is a little on the thin side and it seems like it may not last as long as the rest of the bag will, but a) I could be wrong, and b) this is a nice enough bag that if it breaks you'll either just get another strap to replace it or have it repaired or something. Things I like: -It fits my 15.6" laptop; I wasn't expecting this. Almost every other bag I've had that says it fits a 15" laptop (which 15.6" laptops are regularly advertised as) meant that it fits a 15" laptop, not a 15.6" laptop. I don't even know if 15" laptops are actually made. I'm thinking specifically of the laptop compartment in a Jansport backpack that I have that comes SO close to getting this dumb HP Pavilion G6 in, but can't quite do it. This, on the other hand, has ample room. Pleasant surprise there - I don't really expect to be using it to transport my laptop too much, but it's awesome to know that it can. -It's gorgeous. 'Nuff said. -It's fair-trade leather, and sustainably produced. Call me a hippie, but I care about that kind of stuff, so, yeah. -Aside from the strap, it seems like it'll hold up for a very, very long time. I'm gonna treat it right as I carry it with me throughout my college days and maybe one day give it to a kid. -It's not THAT masculine. I'd consider it gender neutral. First day I brought it to work with me, a female coworker immediately asked where I got it when she saw it, and said it was exactly what she was looking for (she could tell it was genuine leather too). If you're a lady who's looking for something like this, don't let that dumb advertising line deter you. I kind of wish it had pen/pencil pockets inside it like some other bags I've used - instead it's just got those deep inner pockets, but that's a design choice, not a flawed component, so that and the strap don't really merit taking a star off. 9/10, easy. Would buy again, but I don't foresee the need. I think it'll last a good long while.

Great crossbody leather bag. Outstanding quality and a super value item. Sturdiness of this bag is remarkable. I am very happy with this purchase.

This is hands down an amazing bag. The quality is fantastic and is has such a rich look and feel to it. I would buy again and highly recommend. Such a great product. It fits my MacBook Air perfectly even inside another slip case, with plenty of room for an iPad on the outside “quick” access pocket and everything else I need for my everyday carry.

I really wanted the goat leather and this bag doesn’t disappoint. I took the advice from another review to treat the leather right away with leather conditioner (based on beeswax). The leather feels soft, in a sturdy way, and does have nice dark tint. The scent isn’t what I associate with leather, but not too chemical either. I assume it will air out over time, but so far it’s been noticeable. The overall construction is fairly standard, albeit with a limited number of pockets. Basically one outside and another inside. The divider is padded, which seems odd as towards the outside there is no padding. There are no dedicated pockets for pens or phones etc.. Overall usefulness is hampered by that, but that depends on your needs.

Bought this back in 2018. I've used it pretty much everyday since. It it so so nice. Weather and worn gives an amazing look to leather. I use this bag in daily life and I use it quite often when I'm performing on stage. I would recommend it to anyone and I will be buying more of these in the future. I've Thank you! Is there a way for me to order a strip if the leather used so I can fashion a medieval belt? Like 2an you lead me in the right direction as I would like to buy a strip of this leather to make a belt with? 2 -2.5 inches wide.

I am so so sad to post such a bad review on this item. I know of Rustic Town from another company they work with and I love what Rustic Town stands for and love the quality of the bags I have gotten from them in the past. I really wanted a laptop bag for work that would be of the same high quality that I would know had the same high level of ethics involved in the making of the bag. I know some people personally who have gotten a bag that had the "goat smell" and they said it faded eventually and worked great so I didn't worry when my bag smelled bad. I decided not to return it because the smell would go away eventually. Almost 3 months later and the bag still smells like goat barn. It stinks up whatever room it is in. The smell has not faded at all and I wish I had returned it when I had the chance. You may get lucky and get a bag with no bad smell, but don't hesitate to return and try again within 30 days or you might get stuck with it. I was going to say to go ahead and order one and try your chances but I can't say that anymore. I reached out to the company to see if anything can be done but they told me the smell was a normal 'earthy' smell that would get better with use. I can not use this bag. It smells disgusting. If I carry it anywhere the people around me start sniffing the air and looking around for whoever stepped in dog crap. I am so dissapointed in this product as well as the company and their terrible customer service. I will never ever buy another Rustic Town item.

I feel the need to update my review of this bag after almost a year of use. I still like the quality of the bag but after the leather loosened up from use the closing flap now hangs down about two inches past the bottom of the bag. It looks sloppy and I no longer carry the bag because of this. The magnetic closures are almost worthless and if I succeed in getting them to "catch" the front flap has an unsightly wrinkle due to the bag stretch with use. Bottom line....Im throwing out the bag and would not repurchase. I was looking for a classic man bag in leather that was an update to my much more expensive messenger/briefcase type bag from the 90's. I originally looked back to that classic overpriced maker of fine leather goods only to discover their new styles didn't meet my middle aged comfort level. I then discovered this amazing bag. It had the design I was searching for (minus the flap outer closures) and a description that pulled at my nostalgic memories of my old expensive bag. I decided to take a chance and see what arrived. I have to honestly say this bag inspired me to actually leave a review after the hundreds of orders I have placed and products i have received over the years from Amazon. I want to address some specific things in other reviews. First, there are several versions of this bag available for sale here. Mine is from Rustic Town. While I do not know if I am allowed to say that, it makes a difference who you buy this bag from. (I bought three of the same bag and only two would I carry and in the end only one won out) My bag was nice thick leather, well made, classic, and is now the only bag I carry. The color was true to the photo but I oiled the bag and beat it up a bit to make it look well worn initially. Now it has naturally aged and I often have people compliment using the C name brand. I proudly say Thank you and by the way its not C. It was purchased from Amazon and made by a company with a conscious that is providing a living to residents of a global community that is turning out products that not only have a purpose but do good in the process. I don't expect this 60 dollar bag to last a lifetime but so far it is holding up much better than that expensive C bag I used to carry.

Der Versandt war mega schnell, war noch rechtzeitig vor Heilig Abend da (Großes Lob nach Indien!!!) Form und Verarbeitung sind gut, der Geruch sehr intensiv! Alles in allem etwas für Individualisten! :)

This is not a biased review, I love your product I was amazed by the quality it’s like worth $250😁 Aside from it did arrive faster than I thought, it was protected with some sort of packaging when it arrived, flawless. Defenitely recommend this product and I am planning to buy another one soon!😊 keep up the good work!

Great design. Received in good condition but with a strong odour. Need to air the bag for some time before using. Odour will subside as we use longer. Hope it'll last long.

Viene muy cuidada, es de amplio espacio y es 100% hecha de piel. En algunos de los comentarios dicen que huele algo fuerte, por algún producto que utilizan para darle brillo al producto, pero es tenue el olor. Fuera de eso, está perfecta.

Exactly as pictured. Very happy with my purchase. Not sure how durable it will be as I just started to use it. But overall, very nice and an excellent price.
