Great ...
I love this ... use it for school and travel...I love all of the interior pockets great for putting my wallet, pens,keys, chargers all in their own special place. My favorite compartment is probably the one in the back it's a prefect fit for my laptop, leaving the main compartment for text books and such. I see a few complaints about the strap not being constructed of leather, one benefit of this is that leather stretches out with a lot of applied weight, I've had many bags straps snap on me....this nylon strap is perfect. This ... just a really great versatile ...

I bought this for my husband as a graduation gift when he finished his master's degree. We are both very happy with it. Love the padded laptop copartment and other pockets. Zippers seem strong, leather is a nice brown color. It's a good looking ... not super formal. I looked at lots and lots of bags and for the price this is a great choice.

This ... has a few idiosyncrasies that can be taken as positives or negatives depending on how it's used on a daily basis. For me, it's been great. I bought it because I liked the color. It was the only "reasonably" priced brown leather messenger ... could find that didn't use yellowed brass for the metal attachments. I also like the shoulder pad and the removable strap. The messenger flap closes securely and I've gotten used to the computer compartment being on the back of the ...

Nice ... Didn''t Hold Up
I purchased this ... because (normally) Banana bags last quite a while and I wanted a classic, black leather messenger. My laptop fit perfectly in the padded back and it carried everything I needed for work. It held up well for the first couple of months, then things quickly went downhill. I noticed all of the metal hardware started to tarnish/fade to this weird orange color. The clasp that held the shoulder strap at the right length began to slip, so every time I wore the ... out, I’d have to readjust it. The metal hardware that connected the ... strap seemed to pretty low quality. The clips kept catching, not allowing the strap to rotate, and created this metal on-metal grinding sound (which was quite annoying). The metal eventually broke, so I couldn’t use the strap any longer. The leather aged quite well and the interior lining held up, too. The front clasps never stopped working. Overall, this is a pretty high quality ... but the hardware shouldn’t need replaced in less than a year. I have purchased other bags from Banana since, but I had hoped to use this messenger for a quite a while.

A perfect Messenger ...
I am so excited about my new messenger ... light weight but quite durable and has all the right pockets to make it stylish and quite functional. There are so many messenger bags to choose from and this one comes in several colors but the blue one works with every coat and jacket I own. Find the color that works best for you and get ready for the compliments.

I like it more than others!
I just purchased this ... store at a great price! I love it! It has style, it is versatile to dress up or down, it carries all items I need on the go, such as my kindle, wallet, hairbrush, reading glasses, and miscellaneous little things. It is of very good quality, and stands out over other bags I looked at while shopping for a new Messenger's.

Handsome Messenger ...
Have been looking for a good, perfectly sized and understated yet attractive messenger ... carry my business laptop for occasional work travel and to work as a briefbag on a daily basis. Have used a leather Fossil briefbag for last couple years. Had a beloved Eddie Bauer brief ... nylon twill and leather trim used off and on for 20 years that I used as my benchmark for the perfect ... slim when empty and infinitely expandable as file transporting was required. Shopped online endlessly, pored over my dozens and dozens of catalogs for over a year, then recently stumbled on a reference to this Banana Republic ... article somewhere. It caught my eye as a subtle design with quality trim, fabric for lightweight but a bit more structure than some bags without the oversized proportions of many others. The pebbled leather trim is minimal and discreet but well placed. The fabric is sturdy but has a nice, quality sheen. Color is a deep, forest green, not bright or girly, an effective neutral dark shade that isn't gray or black. The shoulder strap is not too wide and not too skinny with a slim leather shoulder pad and low luster metal hardware, not tacky plastic. Handy outside open pocket, absolutely necessary for stashing stuff quickly. Smaller zippered front pocket, but nice to have a secure spot quickly accessible. Inside is a smooth fabric liner with a modicum of open pockets and a slightly larger but could be-bigger zippered pocket. Front flap is nicely styled with buckles but secures quickly with magnetic latches. My 14-in Dell laptop fits just fine, with room for a few more files, plus my iphone and selected grooming essentials, earphones, business cards, etc. Not sure if there is room for the power brick, though I tend to stuff that in my luggage while traveling. Will be flying with it in a couple weeks, the acid test for how flexible the cargo capacity is and how well it stays closed while being dragged through Security, crammed under airline seats and stuffed with a variety of documents plus laptop. I did not dwell overlong before ordering it once I found this online. I had a very high threshold of quality and mature hipness that I wanted my next ... have and I think this one might have it. My response is not unreserved, as it is a few inches smaller in overall dimensions than my dear departed Eddie Bauer, and it has no briefcase handle to lug as a traditional ... must be shoulder slung. But I feel unencumbered and still well turned out in this ... am looking forward to taking it on the road in California soon to see how well it holds up among real hipsters. A good investment, I think, understated enough for a conservative workplace and good looking enough to mingle without shame among creative types.
