Marc New York By Andrew Marc Mens Retro Calf Leather Messenger Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for an eye-catching messenger bag that I could use for ANY occasion, business or casual, and I am quite pleased with this bag. When I first opened the packaging, I felt like the leather was slightly on the dry side... but after a few rounds of moisturizer and wax, it greatly improved the texture. The leather is thick... albeit sensitive... so it WILL show wear marks after a few months of use... but I think that is just as much a benefit as a con as the bag is designed to have a 'retro' look/feel to it.
It fits a couple books, some newspapers and an ipad quite nicely, I even carry around my 15" MacBook Pro around in it as well from time to time-- and its a great fit. The buckles on the front are well-designed and easy to open.
The only thing I really have to say negative about the bag is that it could have been designed just a bit better for laptop use (one of the primary uses of most messenger bags... for guys at least). The problem is that there is this large metal 'carabiner' of sorts on the interior of the bag (you can see it connected to the bright-red strap in the photo) that WILL SCRATCH your laptop if you are not careful. I usually just carry around a newspaper and use that as a 'buffer', but it is a poorly-thought placement of a large metal object. You could always cut that red strap off if it really bothers you... but I hate doing that to a bag of this quality.
4 months later... I'm still very pleased with my decision... and I think u will be too.

District Threads Vertical Notebook Canvas Field Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of research locating and finally deciding to buy this particular messenger bag. I was looking for something not too large (including depth), and something masculine looking. I read the many favorable reviews for this bag's horizontal counterpart, and decided to buy it based largely on the reviews and the quality of the bag as mentioned in the reviews. I thought the vertical orientation would be less obtrusive and less metrosexual looking; I'm just a guy. As a color, I didn't want olive green. The "stone" color looked good, but my wife suggested getting the charcoal, as it would not show dirt, etc., so easily. The color is good; it has a stone washed, slightly worn/broken in appearance to the fabric. Since the enclosed product information cautioned that the color may rub off, I washed it before using; there was no change in the appearance - it really looks good.
I wanted something to carry around on my vacations. As a tourist, I find myself picking up free magazine type literature, pamphlets, brochures, etc., all sorts of things that 'pack rat' guys like me pick up along the way, and just didn't want to carry these around in my hands. Besides, wives really don't want to haul this stuff around in their purses either. I also wanted something to carry any small item purchases. It fulfilled my needs as expected. It has lots and lots of pockets, both large and small. I didn't intend to carry notebooks in it, but wanted to see what a couple of reviewers of the horizontal version were griping about, it being too small. I could fit two (2) 11.5" x 11" x 2.25" notebooks in it and still had room in the main compartment as well as had all of the smaller pockets yet available for use; no problem. I think that if someone needed more room than this, then they would be better off with a backpack; more room and more ergonomically suitable. It is very well made and sturdy, with thick fabric and good stitching, and has a very adjustable strap.
The only fault I have with it is that I intended to buy something not quite as large (hence, only four stars). Based on the measurements provided in the product description ("Dimensions: 10"h x 12"w x 3.5"d") I thought that this would really be great. The acutal bag is somewhat larger than this (measuring from seam-to-seam): 15"h x 12"w x 3.5"d. There's not a whole lot of difference here (well, the five inches vertically is a lot...), but that extra length bothers me somewhat. (I can understand how the short person previous reviewer of this bag would feel that it would be too long; it is long.) However, anyone who uses this for notebooks, books, large writing/drawing pads, etc., would likely appreciate the extra length. Overall it is a good bag, and I will keep it and continue to use it.

BROWN ITALIAN LEATHER DOCTOR BAG DUFFEL DUFFLE MADE IN ITALY (TLFC140229) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The bag is wonderful, spacious, and elegant. Very functional. I like it a lot and use it daily whether going to my office or home visits. People can smell the letter and realize that it is a classy item.
I bought the bigger bag thinking that it had a larger inside interior than the step down model but it has a separate double bottom, accessible from outside with a zipper. I did not mind that.
I gave it four stars only because of two observations. First, one of the screws on the handle comes loose every so often (I carry a small screw driver in the bag for on the spot tightening). Second, the upper closing metal device does not have a natural click. I have to turn the bag facing away from me to be able to close it with one hand. Otherwise, I have to use both hands to align and close it ( the main compartment). I am afraid that in time the metal teeth it uses will brake or lose the grip.
The anterior buckle (anterior pocket) is very practical and closes/opens smoothly. I wished they had used a similar mechanism for the main compartment.

Floto Trastevere Duffle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These Floto pieces are investments. The highest quality pieces. Buttery soft, THICK leather. Hand pieced, hand sewn with impeccable finish and fit. Seams that are smooth and perfect. The interiors are lined with fine striped canvas that after three years is still resisting dirt and stains from shoes etc. This Trastevere bag is the perfect weekender or full size vacation bag and looks gorgeous and stylish no matter where you are going. I have gotten so many compliments on the Floto pieces from hotel bellmen to conceirges to other travelers in the airport and hotels literally around the world!
With every use, the leather wears better, gets softer and is gaining that lovely old world patina that only high end, very well made luggage earns. These are indeed very expensive, but they have been worth every penny. I've been investing in a different piece purchased directly from Floto each year and have not been disappointed yet. Love the timeless Vecchio brown color (which is what all my own pieces are), but their deep red and gorgeous Navy Blue colors are classic and beautiful as well.

Kenneth Cole REACTION Let That Be A Mess-On Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This messenger bag does what it's supposed to, it holds things and comes with a shoulder strap. I actually purchased this as an upgrade to a free Kenneth Cole bag I received with cologne. This bag however falls very short in comparison and that's a real shame considering this one cost money and typically I'm a huge fan of Kenneth Cole products. The outer flap is stiff so while carrying the bag it's a pain to slip anything into it. The outer pockets don't have much give although they do perfectly hold my Kindle. It also lacks a side pocket which I sorely miss for art supplies and pens. The inner pockets are all too small and awkward for easy access and most aren't big enough to fit anything at all. The inner lining, while being a cool orange color, feels like cheap plastic wrap. Overall it's a cool looking bag but get too close and it feels likes a fake display model of what it was intended to be.

Kenneth Cole REACTION A Valuable Mess-On Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm happy with this Kenneth Cole messenger bag. Very sleek looking and low-key. Wanted to spring for a nice leather one, but read complaints of leather color bleeding onto clothing, so just got this one for the time being. I like the slim profile and the detail of the hardware blending in with the color of the bag. The coated canvas has a nice sheen, so it looks like more expensive than it is. I use this as my everyday work bag and it's been holding up nicely. Would recommend.

Venezia Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this set for my husband for his birthday after looking at lots of ho-hum luggage pieces online and at local retailers. Am so glad that I decided to go with something as nice as this. The quality seems excellent. The leather is very high quality and attention to detail is wonderful. Package arrived from Italy surprisingly fast and in excellent condition. I am quite sure that my husband will love this and will be using it for years to come. One note: the lining is a solid chamois color rather than the stripe shown in the picture online.

Floto Luggage Piazza Messenger Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my other half's birthday as he wanted a nice briefcase befitting his SVP role at his company. I researched the company and noticed that Amazon was selling the same bags for $100 less than the manufacturer. I did overnight delivery and had it gift wrapped. The amazon gift wrapping was quite nice (large blue velvet bag with a gold tie).
I didn't take the messenger bag/briefcase out of the bag when it came as I had to dash off to work and take it with me as we were having dinner tonight. During dessert I gave him the bag. He pulled out the messenger bag from the amazon gift wrapping. It was still wrapped in plastic, but despite the plastic cover, I could smell something rather bad across the table. A strong chemical stench. My other half said that the smell was from water proofing solutions that they'd used on the leather. It was so bad we had to quickly wrap it back up lest it interfere with other diners' meals. Mind you, we were sitting in one of the top 50 restaurants in all of NYC when this happened. I was mortified.
When we got home we took it back out to air it out. It was the first real chance I had to look at the quality. I've been to Florence and I've seen what real high quality Italian leather looks like. This isn't it. This is a very thick, heavy leather, and the pouches inside are a very rough, thick grained leather. It doesn't feel like a fine oiled leather. The coloration on the leather seems as though it's topical, as though it was painted on.
I told my other half I'd happily return the bag for him, but he is fine with keeping it. If it were a purchase for myself, I would have immediately returned it for something of higher quality. In my opinion from buying fine quality leather products in the past, this item isn't worth the $250 or so that I paid for it. Also, a company that makes leather products should have the sense to "air them out" before they're shipped off to a customer. I'm torn between 2 and 3 stars on this - I'm only upping this to 3 stars because my other half wasn't put off enough to ask me to return it.
