RUSTIC TOWNLeather Messenger Bag for Men Women - Full Grain Leather Laptop Satchel Office Shoulder Bag

I've had this bag for 6 months and get a ton of compliments on it. It's a perfect laptop bag and can be really slimline or very capacious depending on what your need is that day--I regularly fit a water bottle, lunch, book, laptop and charger, and giant bag of dog treats in it and the straps keep everything contained and nice-looking. The lining is holding up really well and is a nice classic bottle-green, with a durable fabric.As it weathers daily use, rain, sun, etc. it's aging into a nice lived-in Indiana Jones-style leather look--definitely not a fancy perma-shined. briefcase look, but a bag with character and evident good quality even though I haven't conditioned the leather since I got it. I'm surprised and impressed enough by it that I've come back 6 months later to write a 5-star review, which is the biggest testimonial I can give.

The product arrived quickly, exactly as described. I got this to carry a new Android tablet and keyboard and other electronics for extended periods in my RV. The quality and workmanship are very good in a leather-bound folio with excellent canvas-backed strapping hardware, padded tablet compartment, main compartment and two zippered compartments with an appealing green cloth liner. It's a smart-looking messenger bag for a reasonable price that should afford many years of good service. I recommend it.

I fly frequently. I don't carry a purse per se, but instead have used a medium sized suede crossbody bag to carry my ipad, phone and the few essentials I want within easy reach on board, like antibacterial wipes and sunglasses. The suede bag looked good and I didn't look weighed down by a lot of stuff when travelling, but the suede was just not a good choice to put on the aircraft carpet (yuck!) under the seat in front of me. So I was looking for something that could be either washed or easily wiped clean, and, since it was going to spend a good deal of time on the floor, not something so costly that I dreaded shoving it under the seat. This bag appears to be exactly what I was looking for. It is a good looking bag, it's roomy without being out of proportion (I'm 5'4" and slender), and appears to be everything I was hoping for. I'm hoping it is as durable as it appears. As is, it is an excellent bargain. If it lasts for a couple of years, it is a steal.

Every laptop bag I’ve ever owned was either canvas or nylon, so I decided to switch it up a bit, and go for leather. This one seemed good enough, and for the price, I couldn’t pass it up.The Pros in my opinion:Built solidEnough space for laptop accessoriesHolds laptop securelyVintage lookingAwesome colorShoulder strap integrated to the bagSo yea, in summary, an all around great laptop bag. No bells and whistles; just a great bag to carry your laptop, its accessories, and some of your daily essentials.The Cons in my opinion:The smellNo top handleNo side pocketsI will agree, this bag does have a strong smell straight out the package, but I expect it to fade away over time. Since there’s no top handle, you don’t have the option of carrying it by the top, it has to hang off your shoulder no matter what. Lastly, no side pockets. It would’ve been nice to have even just one, but it’s not a big issues.All together, despite a few minor issues, I think it’s a great enough bag to get you through, at a very reasonable price.

This messenger bag came wrapped professionally with care. The new smell of leather was amazing. I knew that I had made the right purchase when I opened it up. I'm always on the go and traveling from one airport to another. This bag will make me look professional and stylish. The craftsmanship is on point, the green liner soft and definitely adds quality to the bag. If you are hesitant wait no more. Order one. The prices is great and so is the bag!

Looks great. It's the right size. Exactly what I need for the office, in terms of pockets and space, without being too heavy or unwieldy. I can't use it, though, because not only does it smell so strongly that I had to hang it on the porch in hopes of airing it out, but if I touch it, it feels greasy and my hands (or anything that it touches) pick up The Smell. I could handle it if it was bad, but seemed like it would go away. It's not that it's bad exactly, it's just that the smell is so strong it fills any room the thing is in and is showing no sign of dissipating.Update - after months trying to air this out, it still can't be used because it smells so much.Update - June 2025 - I give up. Did not air out, no way to remove the smell, landfill time. 0 help from vendor.

Beautiful. Well made. I would have paid double after seeing in person. Very happy. Definitely exceeded my expectations. Perfect for me and highly recommend. Thank you Rustic Town!

This bag is phenomenal, heavy grain leather, nicely lined and the took care by triple wrapping. They also protected all buckles during shipping. It’s the perfect size and color. I highly encourage people to not hesitate while the price is good. I’ve seen bags like this in multiple countries for 3-4 times the price.
