beautiful bag, great deal on leatherJan 19, 2011
By AA123
I bought this bag on sale at an office supply store, not through Amazon. But I love it so much, I wanted to leave a review.
First of all, I've seen this bag being sold online for up to $300, but I paid the same sale price listed here (about $80), which is a great deal because this bag is made of real, quality leather. I never thought I could find something like this in my price range.
The color is "espresso." I actually thought it was black when I bought it, but later realized it is a very rich, dark brown color (hence the name). It looks good with any color outfit, though. The canvas on the inside is blue (not pictured here, but you can find other pictures of the inside online).
This bag is great because of the quality and style, but also because of its utility and durability. The leather exterior ensures that your papers and electronics stay dry in wet weather (This is a big deal to me. My old bag was canvas and in heavy rain my books and papers would always get wet). I've been carrying this daily in NYC for 4 months and so far it looks like new (no scuff marks or water stains from raindrops). I really hope that continues.
Inside there is a lightly padded laptop compartment with a velcro strap to hold it in. This compartment can also be used for papers or books. There are three open vertical pockets that can hold pens, cell phones, ipods, glasses, etc. There is also one zippered pocket along the front lining. The bag is able to hold everything I need without being too bulky. On a daily basis I carry one college sized textbook, a folder of papers, everything that would normally go in a purse (wallet, keys, pens, ipod, tissues, etc.), an umbrella, and a water bottle. I don't always carry my laptop with me, but it does fit with all the other items mentioned (I have a 13' MacBook Air with a small power cord. Anything larger wouldn't fit with all the other stuff.)
I would recommend this bag to anybody with similar needs. It's really a great value! If you are looking for a simple laptop case, this might be a bit too roomy for you. It really is more of a "carryall," as the name indicates.

ClassyDec 03, 2010

I ordered several bags at the same time to compare them side by side: this Solo bag plus the Targus TLT004 15.4 Ladies Deluxe Tote and Mobile Edge Ultra TechTote METU01. The Solo bag is a couple of inches shorter and thus smaller capacity overall which initially concerned me, but I found it to have similar usable space, since the space in the other two bags was divided up into several compartments that don't suit my needs, and the extra height is not useful for a 15" laptop and file folders. In the end the other two seemed obnoxiously large. The Solo bag is definitely of richer quality and style; the other two were pretty mundane black laptop bags and did not look terribly sophisticated or stylish. I decided to keep the Solo bag - My major concern is how the Solo bag will hold up to scuffs and raindrops, but the leather feels soft and high-quality so I presume regular leather care will keep it in good shape. It is a nice style and would be recommended even if you don't put a laptop in it.
Update: a year or so later, the bag still looks like new. I love it!

 Nice bagJul 11, 2011
By TW
Very nice looking bag, definitely looks as noce as it dose in the pic. Strong lining, nice pockets. I could with that the straps were a littel thicker, especially when I have the laptop and a bunch of papers in there, but it does stay on the shoulder quite well and not slip off. My friend has a bag with wider straps, but they are starting to look worn, so maybe the sewn round straps on my bag look better because they are not wide and flat..

Great quality, especially for priceNov 18, 2011

Color is a rich dark brown, almost black in some light. Good quality leather exterior and beautiful padded lining with interior pockets. I like that the handles are roomy enough to easily slip over heavy coats and allow the nicely-tapered wedge shape to hang low enough to fit comfortably under your arm. Would make a great gift.

Love this bag!Jan 06, 2012
By Electronics Guru
There really isn't anything that I don't like about this bag. It is roomy, well-constructed and sleek. The pockets are large enough to be functional without being oversized. I usually only carry and iPad and keyboard, but this bag is large enough to carry my standard laptop should I need to travel with that (ugh).
The design seems to be well thought out and suits my needs to a "T". As an aside, it's nice to see a designer use a bright cheerful blue as a liner instead of a drab brown or black. Plus, everything in the bag stands out against that color, making it easier to find.
I have been through several bags of this sort in the past couple of years- some more expensive, others not so much, but this *the* keeper. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to a friend.
