POLARE ORIGINALPolare Modern Style Sling Shoulder Bag Men’s Travel/Hiking Daypack with Full Grain Italian Leather and YKK Zippers

This is a very nice pack. That said, everything could use improvement (or at least modifications for some tastes).It's excellent leather - flawless in that regard. It's exactly as advertised. There's more small interior pouches than I was lead to believe there'd be, which is a good thing. Interior material seems to be some kind of smooth silky (probably synthetic) fabric, but it also seems to be well made. For moving things in and out, I like the smooth material of that fabric. Zippers seem durable, stay closed, not hard to maneuver despite most of them including a 90 degree curve.As for improvements - there's a pouch on the strap itself. It's nice. I keep a spare credit card and little cash there as my "oops, I forgot my wallet" stash. However, it's right at the top of the strap. The way I wear the bag (strap diagonal across my chest, bag on the back) the pocket is sitting behind my left shoulder. In a perfect world, I'd think the pouch would be in the middle or bottom of the strap. Seems like it was designed as the quick access pocket vs the larger pockets of the pack, but...I still have to turn the bag all the way to my front to reach it. Still, the bag is exactly what it clamed to be, and excellent quality.Also - and this might have been due to climate conditions in the shipping and arrival location (Japan in the fall) the leather seems to be already a little dried out. I immediately ordered some leather conditioner. Frankly, I've never owned a top quality leather bag like this, so maybe I'm just ignorant and this is normal. But I kind of assumed I'd have it a while before my lazy self had to start protecting it.

(Purchased Dark Brown Leather/Small) While I have a few solid backpacks, I was looking to really slim down what I end up having to carry to the office when I occasionally have to go in. I also wanted something that looked really nice and, more importantly, could fit my laptop and/or iPad Pro.There are a lot of questions on this one around size and what it could fit. I had the same ones and kept looking, measured multiple times, and finally just ordered it. I'm glad I did. If you see the attached pics, it clearly holds a 14-inch Macbook Pro as well as the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (I also posted a book next to it as well as a marker for size comparison). In addition, I tried the Macbook Pro with my thicker Thule laptop cover and that worked as well, but a little snug. I ended up also ordering a thinner leather protector for my laptop, and it worked perfectly. So yes, it will fit your laptop and larger iPad in the main compartment. At the back of the compartment, there is a little slip-in sleeve, and neither the laptop nor iPad would fit in there, but that wasn't a problem for me as long as it fits in the bag.It also has several different pockets on the outside and inside, with plenty of room for chargers, cables, small headphones, and other accessories. This bag did exactly what I wanted—a stylish-looking, durable bag that isn't big and bulky and easy to carry around.

Bought this shoulder bag for my little brother as a present and he absolutely loved it. It is a cute looking genuine leather bag with enough compartments to satisfy tech savy individuals. The feel of leather is very genuine and stitching is of high quality. Inside of the bag is layered with tough brown fabric. The color combination of zipline and the general leather color is quite commendable. The bag has a dark brown to rustic look depending on how the light shines on it. It has two main compartments, both with additional sleeves to hold large tablets. All size tablets fit in the sleeves except ipad pro. However if the ipad pro is in a paded bag of its own and then placed in the compartment directly. Then it fits fine. Beside the tablet sleeve, the main compartment also has credit card sleeves, a zipped area and a through port for head phones. The shoulder strap in it self is worth mentioning here. It is large and thick and holds another zipped area for quick access to cash. The bottom of the bag has and a left and right hooks for the shoulder strap depending on personal preference. The back of the bag has thick padding to allow for maximum comfort while on the shoulders. Overall it is a great product and I highly recommend it.

I bought this bag to replace a fabric bag I had been using for about a year.This one has a great build quality! Stitches are consistent and fit and finish is top notch.Enough storage for all my daily carry stuff, and I also carry my travel watercolor kit!

I travel quite a bit for work and have specific items I need to bring on every trip. I have been using a $wiss Gear backpack which certainly fits everything, but it does not look as professional as I’d like. The items I always travel with are.:2nd Monitor 14” x 8.5”Laptop 12.5” x 8.75”iPad Pro (work)iPad (personal)iPhone 15Note bookSun glassesWater bottleI wanted something rugged enough to handle the airports and plane overhead compartments yet stylish, and professional enough to bring in front of clients. This bag meets/exceeds all expectations. The big question on ordering was whether or not the second monitor would fit in the bag. This is a game changer when working from an hotel desk and I was ecstatic to confirm it does fit. Last photo shows all items listed above in the bag.After seeing some reviewers complain about the bag staining clothing on the first use I decided to treat the bag with a leather conditioner and noted some color did come off when buffing. I’d suggest others to treat theirs as well to help minimize this. Last photo showing color bleed after conditioning/buffing.So far I’m incredibly pleased with this bag - so much so that I just purchased their 23” duffle bag as well.

Ive been struggling to find a sling bag that will accommodate my iPad Pro. Ive actually purchased several designer bags from various brands and have had no luck.After endless searching and hoping I would find something, I stumbled across Polare bags. These bags are no joke. The bag is beautiful, rich leather. Feels very well made. No weird odours. Comes in a gorgeous dust cover bag. It fits my 12.9" iPad pro with keyboard cover in the Ipad slot. The bag would easily accommodate a 13 - 14" laptop. Because I was so happy with it I also ended up buying the passport wallet, and I love it equally. Couldn't recommend Polare products enough! They have earned themselves a life customer. Thank you Polare!

I ordered this sling pack online, just before christmas. It looked great on the screen and big enough to store my iPad Pro, so I ordered it fingers crossed, as you never really know what you’ve ordered until it arrives. I was very impressed when it arrived, it exceeded all online descriptions, in short, I was blown away. It is very robust, super durable leather, good solid zippers( thus far) and it is NOT a feminine looking sling bag. It has the feel of a good tool belt or leather apron, and I think as it ages the leather will be worked in just right. It you are looking for a durable solid sling, I recommend this bag.

Got this bag as a handy daily for to and from the office, with room for my XPS13 inside. Nice materials and the new zippers are a definite step up. Well made and good price for a small daily commute sling bag.

Love the bag

I bought this bag as a present for my husband and he loved it. Excellent quality, very well made, beautiful leather, good zippers and nice stitching. The dark brown colour gives this bag rustic look. This bag is very well designed, perfect bag to take for walk, bike or travel. Highly recommend.
