HLC handolederco 15" Buffalo Leather Vintage Rustic Leather Messenger Laptop Briefcase Satchel Bag for Men and Women

I get sooo many compliments on this bag at work. I'll post pictures soon. It's very sturdy, holds my laptop and all my stuff perfectly. I usually use the top handle, the grip is comfortable for my hands (I'm a woman), and the shoulder strap adjusted to the size I like. No strong smells, color was fantastic, and love that it will continue to age and color with use. The buckles latch easily. The color wasn't as dark as the picture, but if you want it exactly that color quickly I'm sure a little oil would do the trick.I loved the bullhorn logo on the bag pictured online, while the hlc logo isn't unattractive, it would have been cool to have the choice of logo or a personalized logo stamped into the leather, like my own initials.

Had this bag for a few months now and waited to post a review for accuracy of product.ABOUT THE PRODUCT: Handolederco Vintage Buffalo Leather Messenger Satchel Laptop Briefcase Men's Bag Crazy Vintage Leather Messenger Briefcase BagThis bag is sturdy, high quality fabrics, ad a great price.

Will shop with Handolederco again.

Tremendous value for a very nice leather bag. Well made of nice quality leather. The shoulder strap is long enough for a tall guy to use it cross-body. I knocked off a star because the hardware has a bit of "economy" look to it, which detracts slightly from the otherwise quality appearance of the bag. The hardware is sturdy and functional and not embarrassing, it's just not super luxe to look at. Be sure to note the dimensions before you order. It is the perfect size for my needs, but larger laptops will not fit.

Had this bag for around a month.This bag looks amazing and is very stylish. It has a fair amount of room to hold my belongings. There are downsides though. First off, the leather strap will chafe your shoulder, so it's not very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The next major downside is how weak the strap is. After about a month of using, the fabric holding the strap unraveled; I can only use the hand strap now.Beautiful bag with lots of room while being uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time and will break very easily.Buy it if you can live with this.

I've been using this bag for about two months now, and it is holding up very well (I am rough on luggage). It's well-constructed, very sturdy, and beautiful (I absolutely love the vintage "distressed" look).My complaints:The strap is slightly uncomfortable (and a little short for those of use who are very tall with large frames). The sliding shoulder pad should be a little larger and have some actual padding. Not a big deal when the bag is lightly loaded, but slip a computer in there, and it starts to dig in during the six-block walking part of my commute.The back edges/corners of the speed clips are very sharp, and I've nipped my fingertips a couple times while closing the flap. I've only drawn blood once, but it's always painful, especially if one catches you right under the fingernail! They're made of what appears to be fairly soft brass, so I may take a jeweler's file and round them off myself.Additionally, while the strap buckles are just for show, the addition of another hole or two would make them useful in adjusting the looseness of the flap, allowing one to tuck an umbrella or tightly-rolled light jacket underneath (or more items inside the bag). I'm sure Amazon sells a leather punch; maybe I'll remedy that situation myself as well...

I have used this bag for about 3 years now. Very big fan of it. It has a great worn leather appearance and has maintained a great look over the years.One issue I have with the durability is that the metal bar which supports the top of the bag ripped through the leather, so not it can stick out. It’s not that bad, doesn’t stay like that, I just had to make sure it’s back in place. Also one of my buckles came off, and so now I have to use one buckle for the bag.Question for anyone, where do I buy replacement buckles for these?Overall, love the bag, highly recommend.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband for use at his new job and it was so gorgeous when it arrived that I let him open it 2 1/2 weeks early. He was so proud to come home and tell me about all of the compliments he got and questions his coworkers asked about his present. This is an EXTREMELY well made 100% genuine leather messenger bag with unique markings and characteristics. It smells incredibly strong like the "new leather" smell even after conditioning it with leather lotion and it being opened and used for over a month now. *As with all new genuine leather products, I highly recommend you treat it with a leather conditioner and protectant before using it.You will not be disappointed with your purchase if you choose this bag. And NO, I wasn't given a free one to write this review or anything along those lines.
