Yes, it's bleeds, but there's a easy solution

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018

Color: Dark BrownVerified Purchase

I hate when people do half effort reviews, I'm guilty of this too, but I'm going to go the extra mile this time to help folks get the information they need to make a decision on this bag.

First things first, does this bag bleed on your clothes? In my own personal experience, yes the bag bleeds, but there is a simple fix.

I am writing this after solving the problem.

First, what is causing the bag to bleed on your clothes? The reason the bag is bleeding on your clothes, it's because the leather isn't sealed.

The solution: go to the search bar right here on Amazon, copy and paste .... "Meguiar's G3800 Gold Class Leather Sealer Treatment. "

This should cost you about $12-13.

Once you get the leather sealer treatment, it's not rocket science, it literally takes 15 minutes to do the two step process. You literally spray the cleaner on in sections, and wipe it off. Once you're done with the cleaning spray, you go to step 2 which is a sealer (lotion like substance). Same thing, apply in small sections, then buff the sealer with the buffing pad they provided. Done

Let it dry. Repeat the process every 4 to 6 months.

Great bag, but for whatever reason Kenneth Cole decided not to seal the leather, for this reason only, I cannot give it 5 stars.

Lastly, I provided a picture of before and after, the one on the left is untreated, the one on the right is post treatment. I was still in the midst of buffing all the white stuff off, but you can clearly see the difference.

Hope this helps.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018

Color: Dark BrownVerified Purchase

I bought this bag because of the sleek design, the price, and the claim to full grain leather. Here are my thoughts on the bag,

Price: Not expensive but not cheap. Matches the quality of the bag.

Leather: The description claims “Full Grain Cowhide leather” for the exterior. This is only partially correct. When you receive the bag, you’ll be greeted with the Genuine leather tag on the side. This was very disappointing as they used the description to trick buyers. The bag does have pieces of full grain leather (which is how they can get away with their claim) but, the majority of the bag is made of low grade genuine leather.

Strap: The strap is not thick enough to prevent twisting and the clip is even worse. You’ll constantly have to untwist the strap so that the shoulder pad isn’t upside down. The clip seems oversized for the strap as well. The strap constantly slips and becomes loose.

Inside: As you can see from my picture, the back snap caused a hole on the inside of the bag. This is due to cheap/thin material they’ve used.

In summary, the bag has served its purpose. It last as longer than I expected for low grade genuine leather. This is by far the best design I’ve come across and I would pay top dollar for a full grain leather bag that looked like this.

Great bag for great price

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This is a quality bag for an affordable price. Here are some of my notes on this product
1) This bag can be used as a heavy duty business or laptop bag. I regularly carry my 16inch laptop in this bag which fits comfortably with several other documents.
2) Has enough compartments to carry all necessary items.
3) The bag is made of quality materials which with around a year of use has not begun to crack or tear. Even with a fully weighted bag it has hardly seen any wear.
It has definitely been recommended by me as well as bought a second time as a gift.

Here's what to watch out for with an otherwise very solid bag:

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2017

Color: Dark BrownVerified Purchase

The bag is excellent, and very highly rated everywhere I looked. That's why I bought it. After using it for several months now, here are my only concerns that have surfaced to date:

-be careful with light colored shirts in the summer, some color from the pad on the shoulder strap can come off
-the bag does deform somewhat easily, so I always try to carry something inside it such as a folder to help it keep its shape
-the capacity of this bag is not that high, if you max it out, it's awkward to carry and the strap slides off the should easily; with my 13" thinkpad in there, there isn't much else that can go in;
-there aren't many ways to safely keep smaller items and a tablet

So far, it seems like the bag will last for years. If I get another bag it will be due to need to carry more, or to carry what I have with greater comfort.

Hard to find this kind of quality

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019

Color: CognacVerified Purchase

Every leather messenger bag I have bought for my husband ends up in the trash with a torn strap. I hate it because the rest of it is fine, but the straps always wear and eventually tear right at the joint where the strap meets the bag, but not on this bag. He's already had it longer than most, and it has held up great. It still looks new! And the smart design lets me know that someone knows a thing or two about straps that tear and how to avoid that. I think we finally found a keeper! Oh, and it's pretty good looking too. I actually like the color a lot more in person than in the photo.

Good for the price.

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

For the price it is really good. I did not want to buy a very expensive leather bag because I use it very rough. Over all the quality and stitching is good. It is not that roomy but it does the daily job for me and everyone notices it.

The only two things I wish I had paid more attention to when I was buying are
1- The shoulder strap is not that good and is not removable, so you are stuck with it.
2- there are no inside partitions for laptop and documents. When ever I try to slip in my laptop the open docs come in the way or the charger comes in the way.

The buttons are really good magnetic ones and snaps right in. Does not easily come off on its own.

Some slight blemishes and scratches, but still looks great

Reviewed in Canada on December 24, 2018

Color: CognacVerified Purchase

First of all, the leather looks good enough. It's your typical supple and smooth leather and should be treated accordingly. A tan/cognac color one will show every scratch, but that's the way it is.

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing I disliked so far is that it seems that either these bags were products previously purchased but returned, or are factory seconds : Mine came with a small darkened hole (maybe an insect chew it, or it was burned or something) and some rough scratch that stripped away a small layer of leather. There is some slight imperfections around the edges and the stiches seems botched at two spots, but these are really hard to see. I mean, considering the price, this isn't bad, but if they really are factory seconds, it should be mentionned.

Now, as other people have pointed it already, there is some slight bleeding if the leather is damp or wet, and there might be some bleeding against white items when dry. To correct this issue, you might want to waterproof it slightly as the leather itself isn't sealed, or you might take a drastic approach and never use it when it rains or snows.

As for the bag itself, it does what it's supposed to do. The shoulder strap is sturdy enough, but I honestly wouldn't carry the bag using the handle, unless it's empty or filled with something light: It doesn't seem to be secured properly, so you'll end up ripping the bag if you carry it using the handle while it's heavy.

As for the main compartment, there is nothing to write home about. It will carry a tablet or a ream of paper with ease, or anything in-between. One of the front compartments has a pocket for your phone (my LG G6 fits right in, but it will have some issues carrying anything larger) and there is some for your pens too. Classic and useful, but don't expect it to be more organized than that. If you're like me and like to keep your things simple and tend to bring the bare minimum with you, then it will be great. If you carry a lot of stuff, then the bag might be a tad barebone for your tastes.

Concerning the front panel magnetic opening "system" : It does work well, but it doesn't seem it would last unless you take good care of it. It will probably be preferable to open it near the magnet to decrease the strength used.

Decent bag for light usage

Reviewed in Canada on May 24, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Got this bag for almost a year now. I really enjoyed it. It's good looking. Made of pretty good leather considering the price. It's easy to carry.

The only problem are the snaps of the top cover. One of them broke already. It is attached to the internal materials rather to the leather itself.

If you consider buying this bag, make sure not to overload it or this may append to you.

In my situation. I need the saps to work because I don’t want my things to slip off during my daily train transit to the job. I don’t find any easy way to fix it, so I will need to purchase another bag. If knew it before, I would rather have purchased a more solid bag the first time.

On peut rentrer un gros porte-document, quelques petits trucs. À éviter si vous avez un ordinateur portable, plusieurs dossiers, et que vous planifiez d'utiliser les poches d'en avant pour d'autres items. Vous allez bourrer le sac. Je l'aimais jusqu'au moment, moins d'un mois après, le derrière du sac se désagrégeait. Les photos parlent d'elle-même. Dommage car le look est très réussi.

Nice quality leather messenger bag

Reviewed in Canada on September 15, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

The quality of material and craftsmanship is quite good. I read a lot of reviews for other bags that complained about the dye from the leather rubbing off onto clothing. I don't think there is any such concern with this product. The layout of the bag is simple and functional but the bag is not designed to carry a lot. If you have a large laptop and want to carry your lunch or other daily items its not likely big enough. also it doesn't provide much padding to protect a laptop. I just carry surface pro, note book, wallet, phone, business cards, eye glasses, couple power cables and some pens. It works perfect for me.
