Komal's Passion LeatherLeather crossbody bag messenger satchel tablet bag 11 inches for men and women (Brown)

Been thinking about this purchase for a year. Finally got it for day trips. I put in an insulated water bottle, a compact umbrella, some tissue, my cell phone and off I go. Quality of this bag is outstanding.

This bag smelled so good (old school leather smell) and came in such pleasant packaging. Komal and the company clearly put a lot of effort into their products and packaging. I appreciate the little bag this bag was packaged in and the note. Wonderful stuff, and a legitimate leather bag for this price is wild. Thanks Komal & co!

I was absolutely shocked when I opened this bag. I’ve paid over $400 for an authentic leather bag that was no where near made as well or as nice as this bag. The quality is much better than expected. I’m ordering the black.

Item is exactly as described and pictured. Like an old-timey military messenger's pouch. Can be used as a man's purse for carrying Valuables or as a Medium book bag.

Very good, exactly what I wanted.

This leather satchel is exactly what I was looking for. It’s the perfect size to carry my 10 inch iPad with a thick plastic case on it… As well as 8 1/2 x 11 documents. It has a generous center pouch with slightly smaller pouches on either side of that. As well as several zippered compartments to store things like notepads or pens… Wallet… Phone, etc. There is a small front pouch that I use for my AirPods… I love the classic rugged style and yet it is so minimalist. I do wish it came with a bit of a longer strap… But that’s something I can add later. One thing I particularly appreciate is that their branding label is on the inside… Even though they could proudly display it on the outside, I am not a fan of labels so to see it on the inside, adds a quiet humility to the strength of the product.The first one I received had a slight stitching problem, but the company was absolutely fantastic to deal with and had a new one shipped out immediately. My brief dealing with the company confirmed their commitment to Customer Service , which is in perfect line with their commitment to quality. This is really nice leather and great design… Well crafted. They assured me the small issue I had was a fluke and they corrected it immediately. If I could give more than five stars, I would. The next time I need a leather bag I’m not going to look anywhere else.

It was a terrific item

Updated review:Here I am, almost 5 years after my original purchase. My original bag still works, but has been abused to the point I fear the shoulder strap will eventually break where it was mistakenly cut at some point. I said I would be back, and I can’t be more grateful that this bag is still being manufactured with some wonderful updates to the design. I LOVE the addition of strong, sturdy metal clip style buckles that can be used in conjunction with the standard buckles. The straps are also slightly shorter which leads to a much cleaner look than the original. My ONLY complaint is that I must wait for it to break in once more, but I know, without a doubt, I will be back in another few years to replace this daily staple! Pictures of the old and new bags have been added so you can truly appreciate just how gorgeous this bag will become once it begins to soften with regular use. It’s hard to believe this is actually the same bag, but I promise you will not regret investing in such a beautiful and practical bag.Original review:First of all, I want to thank Komal's Passion Leather for one of the best unpackaging experiences of my life. From the moment you first open the box, you know that this seller truly cares about their product. The leather satchel I purchased was much more protected than I would have imagined. The bag was inside of another small drawstring satchel made of a beautifully printed material which was inside of another clear plastic bag which in turn was taped securely around its contents.Unpacking Experience:When I removed the leather satchel from the drawstring satchel, my first impression was that it is, for once, everything it was advertised to be and more. Not to mention, every piece of ANY clasp that could have potentially damaged the leather in transit was very well covered by cellophane and/or thin packaging foam. Beyond that, the protection was still VERY easy to remove. It took just a few minutes to pull the protective materials from no less than 7 places on the bag. The level of care taken in preparing this bag for shipment and safe arrival is phenomenal!But wait! It gets better! Above and beyond that, there is a "Thank you" letter and care instructions on a piece of beautiful raw paper that was hand signed by Komal. The contents of the letter not only thank you for the purchase but go into the process taken to naturally cure and prepare the product. This bag is "100% handmade from genuine unprocessed leather and is tanned using traditional Sun tanning process and vegetable oils. No chemicals are used during the making of this bag."The Bag Itself:The bag is breathtaking! It has 2 outside zippered pockets on the front and back as deep as the bag itself, 1 buckle pocket on the front middle, an interior zippered pocket (again, as deep as the bag itself, and 3 sections on the interior of the bag. One of these last 3 pockets is almost the entire depth of the bag. (This is the pocket where my 10.5 inch iPad Pro will likely call home, though one of the two thinner spots may work as well if you do not have a case on yours.) The other 2 pockets are great for papers, thinner wallets, your cell phone, a small notepad if needed, maybe to hold a few pens??There is still plenty of room after placing my iPad into the satchel to allow for my basic needs. I can easily still fit my glasses case, my apple pencil case, my wallet, phone, and other daily wants and needs within this bag without overfilling it. I will be carrying this bag for many years to come. The amount of thought taken to fully maximize this bags potential through the creation process is rare to find these days. The stitching is perfect on every seam (Trust me, I looked. I was sure something HAD to be wrong somewhere.). I have no doubt that this bag will last me for many many years and grow more beautiful with each passing season as it ages. I may have received this at a reduced price, but having this in hand I would have happily paid the original asking price or MORE for a bag of this quality.In closing, if and when I decide I need to replace this satchel, upgrade to a larger one, or just want some variety in my life, I will likely search for Komal's Passion Leather first. This is a truly special item, and will NOT disappoint. Enjoy!!
