Polare Modern Messenger Bag with Retro Feel Men’s Laptop Briefcase with Full Grain Leather Fits for 15.6'' Laptop

I got my bag today and I must say, even though I had high expectations (I have ordered Polare products before) this bag exceeded them. What a beautiful example of talented craftsmanship. I was a little hesitant due to the dark leather, but it is absolutely gorgeous, the smell is intoxicating, and it is so well made, it will last for many more years than I will. Holds even a large, thick gamer's laptop, and has pockets for a tablet, phone, as well as compartments for papers and books. Also has a heavy duty strap with very heavy duty hardware. The leather is thick and durable, yet silky soft to the touch. I love this bag!

What a fantastic product, a truly well built piece of work.I bought darker version of this bag and I have not experienced any of the marking from the leather dye that others have seen.The zippers are fantastically smooth, and the lining of the pockets feel like they will last forever while being soft and not feeling like they will scratch things.I have a 15.6 inch laptop in which it fits fairly snugly. I use a wireless mouse and controller USB attachments which are pretty non invasive for size, but I have to take them off to fit the laptop in the laptop fixture...so pretty snug.The bag comes with a strap that works very well and feels super sturdy itself, I haven't taken it for a long carry so far so good though!I've showed many people the bag and they absolutely love it and all inspect how rugged it feels and definitely show envy.Absolutely a top tier buy vs other huge name brands at triple the price, and much less intuitive design much of the time.

I got this for my son to replace another leather messenger bag. I had to show him when it arrived so I could return n buy another by Christmas. I shouldn’t have worried he absolutely loved it. It comes packaged really well, looks very expensive. In fact my son said don’t buy him anything else for Christmas because he knew that had to be at least $500. (Wasn’t even close to that much). Since his other bag had the zippers go bad I did get the extended warranty so if zippers break like his old bag we can get the replaced.

I own several Polare products and I love them, however, this is the second Polare laptop briefcase that I have had to return because despite the description stating that it is for a 17" laptop, my 17" HP Envy would not fit in the compartment meant for it. Not even that close, really

for an LG Gram 17" laptop in the center pocket. The Gram is so thin and light that I will not carry it without padding to absorb movements and protect it, especially in the car. Based on the measurements in the description, I thought this bag would work nicely as I need a bag big enough for the laptop and other papers for work when traveling. But the actual internal measurements of the center pocket are not correct to the description. Yes, a 17 inch laptop will fit, but there's no padding and a laptop sleeve is too big for that pocket. I have been doing a lot of searching for a solution, and will most likely have a custom bag made. Unfortunately, this bag is being returned and I am very disappointed.

I got the bag because I travel with two laptops quite often, and squeezing them in to a normal bag has never been ideal - or easy. I travel for client meetings a lot, so the old fashion huge multi-laptop bags just looked tacky to me. This bag looked nice and holds two 17” laptops well. I travel with a 17” MacBook Pro and a ThinkPad. The leather is high quality full grain and the padded section in the middle holds a book/kindle well too.

I just received, so my initial review is this is a great quality leather bag- fits my heavy books for law school as well as plenty of space for notebooks/iPads/ and pens. Can be used with the shoulder strap or carried like a briefcase. Perfect for school or work and looks good too! Will be a perfect travel case.

When I received this briefcase I was so happy and excited - it was so nice, looked great and was the perfect size! Just a few short months later and it looks like it is 10 years old! Scuffed up and looks worn and awful!! For what this cost I expected a whole lot better! BEWARE!!!
