Masa Kawa Leather Briefcase for Men 15.6" - 17" Laptop Computer Case Business Travel Work Messenger Cross Body Shoulder Bag

Ok. Let’s start off with a little honesty. This is not really a briefcase. It’s a giant Mee-Maw purse for men. Even so you can still look plenty badass carrying it despite the fact it is packed with tissues, chewing gum, nail clippers, medicine bottles and old lottery tickets, and it will still safely hold your laptop and wireless mouse.The organization is pretty decent but not perfect. It has a compartment with a magnetically secured flap on the side. It has nice pockets for pens, knives, magnifying glasses, and a few basic hand tools. This would be where you will want to store that leatherman multi tool that you always thought you might use.There are two very well made zippers on top that work with almost no fuss. They are massive, and I doubt they will ever pull apart even if you abuse them. If they do ever get a little sticky, I would put a tiny drop, maybe two, of light machine oil on the zipper pull to lubricate it.Inside the zippered compartments there are panels sewn in to separate the contents. This is where you would put your briefs. Not your tighty whities, I’m talking about the legal papers. Just read “The Pelican Brief” if you do not understand. If reading is not your thing, watch “My Cousin Vinny.” You will not learn what a brief is, but it’s a funny movie, and even though there is no nudity, Marissa Tomei is still super hot. Enjoy.The exterior is wonderful, full-grain saddle leather. I was very pleased with the quality of the leather and the construction. It’s still in the super stiff category when it arrives new, and it has the lovely aroma of a saddle store or a B&D boutique.There are two substantial leather handles on top. The briefcase arrives in a tight package that causes the handles to be “trained” to fall toward the center. This is a good thing. Over time, due to the way they are sewn and the way they are shipped, they will stay either upright or toward the center where they are easy to grab rather than flopping flaccidly to the sides.There is a lovely, stout, over-the-shoulder leather strap with high quality brass hardware. The hardware allows the ends of the straps to spin so that no matter which side of the strap you grab, it can be untwisted or reoriented in an instant. The strap can be quickly and easily removed, but don’t be a douche. Use the strap.Other reviews complained about odors, oily surfaces, dye rubbing off on clothes and bags misshapen from shipping. I experienced none of these problems. The leather was supple and beautiful, and as noted before, it smelled so good! My only regret is the lovely aroma completely dissipated in about two days.I’ve had the briefcase for a month or two now. I travel extensively for work, and it’s performed well beyond my expectations. It is rugged, but it’s design is timeless and classy. It would be appropriate whether you are wearing a great suit into a boardroom or a hard hat and work boots onto a job site.If I had a complaint it would be that some of the partitions/dividers in the main compartments are not sewn together at the bottom so you have to be kind of careful where you put small items. Otherwise they will drop into the abyss below the dividers, and you will be forced to dig around for them. Otherwise, this bag is SUCH a good value. I’m looking forward to it softening and scuffing and developing its own unique character as it accompanies me on my travels. I’ll probably dump it out once a year or so to clean it with saddle soap and to apply a good leather conditioner. That’s really all it should ever need. I believe this bag, with proper care and perhaps the attention of a leather repair shop every twenty or thirty years should last a lifetime or perhaps generations. Thank you to the craftsmen who produced mine. It has already become one of my favorite possessions.

This bag looks very good and is sturdy. It is very roomy. I transferred everything from my previous bag with some space to spare. I loaded it up and it does not look puffy like my other bag. The picture shows everything I was able to include in the bag. All these items were in the bag when the first two pictures were taken.1. 15" laptop2. 10.5" tablet3. 8-1/2 x 11 pad-folio4.

I bought this bag to use in my teaching career. It holds all my papers to grade, a binder, my laptop, cord and wireless mouse. There is still room to spare. The bag is made of thick durable leather and will last a long time. Very stylish looking as well.

Absolutely love the bag, it's thick leather that's soft and supple, will last a while, it has separate compartments for two computers and the zippers fit a tsa-approved luggage lock which makes me more HIPPA compliant! I would have liked a couple more small compartments inside but it's fine as is. It fits perfectly on the luggage rack of a suitcase or Harley rack too!

The zippers are sturdy, overall, it has good volume inside, and quite a few spare pockets and dividers. It's appearance suggests a durable, well made leather product, which is exactly what it seems to be. There are no blemishes or failures on mine after 4 months of daily abuse. Mine weighs about 30 pounds (14 Kg) when filled with all my paperwork, computer, and other "stuff", which includes some rubber stamps, a pocket breathalyzer, a spare mouse, paper openers, an electronics organizer box, business cards, pens, and almost any other office item you might transport. I even have a tiny stapler. Sometimes a small bottle of ink for my fountain pens, too.The computer section has a bit thicker padding, and a Velcro/elastic strap to keep it in place. The big "snapped" pocket I'm not too crazy about, as the snaps don't engage too well if you stuff the pocket full of items. The closure flap doesn't expand to match the expanding pocket, which does hold a lot of stuff. Otherwise, that feature works very nicely, providing you don't carry all the junk I do.There are no signs that the handles or strap will ever fail, either.

Have been using for a few weeks, and so far no issues. Spacious and well-made, hope that this lasts for a long time. The color is very nice and no transferring of dyes yet, but am on the lookout for such issues. Good deal for the money!

The item definitely exceeded my expectations!This briefcase was well packaged and it comes with a protective covering that can be reused to help protect it.Crafted from high-quality leather, this briefcase exudes a sense of timeless elegance and durability. I really like the vintage inspired design of this item. It makes for a versatile accessory that can complement both casual and formal attire. The leather has a rich texture which I am sure will only improve only with age.Despite its classic appearance, this briefcase is designed with modern functionality in mind. The spacious interior is large enough to accommodate a 17-inch laptop computer, along with essential documents, files, notebooks, and other business necessities. Multiple compartments and pockets provide ample organization options, allowing me to keep my belongings neatly arranged and easily accessible at all times.The cross body shoulder strap offers versatility and comfort, allowing me to carry the briefcase hands-free while commuting, traveling, or navigating busy city streets. The adjustable strap can be customized to the perfect length for a comfortable fit, while the padded shoulder pad provides added support and reduces strain during extended wear.Overall, I am highly impressed with this product and I would definitely recommend it.

This Vintage Leather Briefcase is constructed from high quality leather which burnishes and beautifies with age, rather than wearing out. I have many leather bags and, in comparison, this is a very durable leather that holds my laptop and accessories with ease. Perfect for travel and work with a nice warm patina. I found that using a leather conditioner and protector keeps the colour from fading or transferring to my clothing. It also provides protection from moisture but all leather should be worn with a rain shield. The strap is very comfortable to wear as a crossbody and the adjustable pad provides stability and comfort. The handles are comfortable to hold and very securely attached . I found it has excellent stitching and is made to last. I appreciated the vintage style and design of this bag that should last for years of use with some care. The zippers with leather pull tabs are extremely durable and slide efficiently without drag or catching. The edging, attention to detail and overall visual design are top notch for this leather briefcase compared to ones that are much more expensive. Overall, it exceeded my expectations of quality and design.

This leather briefcase, though more akin to a "Mee-Maw purse for men," still exudes a certain badass charm while accommodating a plethora of essentials from tissues to legal papers. The organization, though not flawless, offers decent compartments secured by sturdy zippers and magnetically secured flaps. The exterior's full-grain saddle leather is impressive, with well-designed handles and a stout over-the-shoulder strap. Despite some concerns raised in other reviews, my experience was devoid of any odor or dye transfer issues. After a month or two of extensive travel, it has surpassed expectations, proving both rugged and timeless in design. While some partitioning issues exist, it's overall a great value and promises to develop its own unique character over time with proper care. Cheers to the craftsmen behind this cherished possession!
