i like the feel of the leather and the design of the bag. the magnetic snaps don't work that well.

AND, after minimal use with < 3 lb load each time, the thread broke at couple places, especially one at the anchor where the shoulder strap loops through. this can result in additional stress and could potentially rip the leather.

so i spent 2+ hours sewing it. sewing through leather is not an easy task. definitely not fun. cosmetically, it doesn't look as good anymore.

could be my bad luck. but i would not recommend this bag to anyone, especially when there are many other choices.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE LOOK OF THE BAG. I WAS SOOOO DISAPPOINTED WHEN THE BACK ZIPPER CAME APART WITHIN 5 HRS OF USING THE BAG.

I like this bag, though it is certainly not going to be a family heirloom. I have owned the darkest leather model for a few months now, and a good amount of the color has worn off the back off the bag, were it contacts my body as I walk. I also made the mistake of wearing this bag with a white shirt (one of my favorites) while it was raining slightly over the summer and the color transfer from the bag to my shirt, where unfortunately the coloring is actually permanent. Additionally, the snaps that hold the bag closed are fastened to a thin piece of fabric on the inside of the bag, rather than directly riveted to the leather. Not shockingly, one snap has become completely detached, while the other is on it's way. I might possibly buy this bag again if I were in the market for another cheap product in the category, but I'd definitely look elsewhere before I made a decision.
