Cuero DHK 16 Inch Vintage Handmade Leather Messenger Bag Laptop Briefcase Computer Satchel Bag for Men & Women (16 Inch Medium)

Okay, so I was skeptical. The zippers and other hardware IS metal and super sturdy! I also couldn't find what the inside looked like when I ordered it, but for reference I added pictures. It's a lovely green in all the interior pockets.The leather on the strap seemed thin when I first got it but it can easily hold my computer, mouse, charging cable, drawing tablet and keyboard and not even seem phased, and have plenty of room and weight left to add stuff to. And the adjustable strap is perfect for me and super comfortable to wear despite it not being as wide as I thought.And that smell I saw in other reviews? That's just leather conditioner and the oil they have on the buckles when wrapped so they don't rust. It is VERY strong so if you have a sensitive nose then be warned, but I let it air out in a few days and it helped tremendously.

I like the vintage look of this bag. Has plenty of room, more than I thought. Open compartments for laptop and books and several zip compartments to protect documents. The outside pockets are enough to carry what you would put in a back pack. Ammo clips, knife knife sharpener, cords for electronics, lighters, snacks, water (no outside water bottle holder. Easy to carry across the body with strap.

Fine quality leather, very homogeneous appearance so I rubbed in some leather conditioner and scuffed it up a bit for a weathered patina look. Brass buckles (note: not snaps) were good quality and plentiful. Double stitching throughout. Strap is a bit long for one-shoulder use (I'm 5'9"), but i can fix that. The craftsmanship and overall quality exceeded expectations and the modest price is a nice bonus.

What a beautiful bag, overall! The leather is quite thick. The inside pockets are the bright green you see in the ad and reviewer photos, not the light green as it seems to appear in a couple of photos (I think by one reviewer), and that was probably the due to the photo quality. So, I was pleasantly surprised at this as I was hoping for the bright green color. Outside, the bag has 2 zipper pockets, one on the front and one on the back. There are two small front pockets. And a pocket on each end that can be used for pens or something similar. Inside, there are three full-size pockets separated by two flaps. And there are two full-sized zipper pockets on the front and back. Ample pockets.There are four matters of disappointment, though, three which are probably not really dealbreakers, and one that I think is, for me.The handle on the cover flap is on the front near the top, not on the top. So, when the flap is buckled, picking the bag up by the handle pulls on the front of the flap. It would make more sense for this to be located on the top. So, the handle is pretty much decorative rather than functional. It doesn't really serve as a handle to open the flap either. It is in the wrong spot for that too.And the front, outside pockets are not tall enough to fit my iPhone 14 Pro Max. This is quite a disappointment as I like keeping my phone accessible. But there are pockets inside that accommodate it. Of course, smaller phones, depending on size, may fit in the front pockets.My 17.5" HP laptop fits sine in the center inside pocket. However, that pocket is wide and can accommodate more than a laptop. A couple of books will fit in there too. The laptop (mine) will not fit in the inside front or back pockets as they are not quite long enough. I would prefer a snugger pocket for a laptop. If you want to use this for a laptop and want a snug pocket, a smaller laptop maybe could fit in one of the other pockets. (Maybe. I'm guessing. You would have to see for yourself.) So, without anything else in the middle pocket, my laptop leans, resting on one side of the pocket. Even so, it remains fairly inert when carrying the bag. A power cord and other computer accessories could go in the center pocket with the laptop, but there is nothing to protect the laptop's surface. I could see adding an extra foam layer in between and something like that would be easy to find or make. Otherwise, accessories fit well in one of the outside zipper pockets.The dealbreaker and what will probably have me returning this bag is the buckles. It seems like the buckles are installed in the opposite direction that they should be, though with some adjustment it makes sense. But they are not snug. This is especially the case with the main cover flap. Even using the first buckle hole it is not snug enough, and the buckle sags when fastened. This leaves the cover loose.Overall, this is a beautiful bag. It reminds me a bit of the handcrafted leatherwork my grandfather used to do on the side (was a high school shop teacher). So, it has that handcrafted feel. Just a bit more precision I think would be helpful. Keep in mind that with items in the bag, and being it is leather, it will be heavy. As I give a grade to every product I review, I will do so here, and will give it a grade of B. With some design adjustments to the aforementioned aspects, it could be a great example of A.

Review at two days of use,So I've wanted one of these bags, in this style for quite some time. I recently got a new laptop and it didn't fit in any of my other bags so I figured this was a great time to upgrade.ALL hardware was well wrapped and protected. The leather initially very smooth and supple not overly stiff. The inner lining is course canvas so it should hold up nicely, love that cause she is packed. This is my work bag so I'll be carrying it five days a week. I can't wait to see how it patinas over time.It is quite roomy as you can see in the last photo. It is full and i would suggest keeping the buckle tight to help support the top handle. The strap is long enough to be worn as a crossbody and is short enough to be carried just as a shoulder bag, even for someone who is 5'0".Overall, quite pleased.

This product was even better than it looked online. I gave it as a graduation gift and that person still goes on and on about it. Terrific product!
