Moonster Leather Messenger Bag for Women & Rustic Messenger Bag for Men – Handmade, Genuine, Distressed Buffalo Leather – Padded Compartment to Use as 16 Inch Laptop Bag + Pockets & Adjustable Strap

My old laptop bag (Wenger) eventually gave up the ghost after many years of faithful service and I was about to buy another but a work colleague has a leather satchel kind of bag which I like so I thought I would investigate laptop bags in leather for a change. I came across this one with an extremely good write up and favourable reviews.I am very impressed - from the box that it arrives in, to the packaging and care that the bag has been wrapped in.This thing oozes class. The workmanship is top notch and the smell..........wow!There is enough room for my laptop (Microsoft Surface 12.45) and will certainly accommodate a larger laptop, my charger, mouse, diary, mobile and emergency charger, all in the main, split, compartment. Then there is another zipped pocket on the front and another on the back. There are also 2x pen holders & 2x pockets in the main compartment.The buckles are magnetic and strong enough to stay closed, the handle looks to be solid and robust and the shoulder strap is comfortable.I would definitely recommend this bag, so much so that I bought the pencil case to go with it that now stores my mouse and mobile WIFI dongle.

This is a lovely quality product, with great quality soft leather, with a wonderful smell on opening the box. Liked very much the magnetic fastenings, meaning when in a hurry to open, as often am when in back to back meetings, the front can be promptly flipped open with no need to locate or fumble with fastenings. The product arrived in a quality box too, complete with a card thanking for the purchase, which I thought was a nice touch, and a notification that some of the funds raised from the purchase will be offered to charity. Sadly though, the leather was too well treated with oil, (darkened almost to saturation), meaning that when carried with the shoulder strap there is the possibility that light coloured clothing could be stained. As the shoulder strap will primarily be used in favour of the carry handle, the bag was returned.

What a great bag. The bag looks good, smells it too and practical. Sadly I had to get it replaced as one of the magnets holder had come loose. I tried claiming the warranty and Initially I could not get a response from Moonster, however it transpired that they had an IT issue. Once Moonster realised the issue, my bag was replaced the next day and insisted on compensating me. I must say customer service truly matter to this company and I will recommend Moonster but also keep on buying my leather products from there.

Looks lovely, for husband's more formal work appointments. It doesn't have a "stiffener" in the bottom nor reinforced corners/ base so hope it doesn't wear too badly. The shoulder strap doesn't remove and is not padded, both of which may be useful.

I don't usually bother writing Amazon reviews, but this bag has blown me away. It's beautiful, practical and looks like it's going to last for years. I only received 10 minutes ago so I can't really attest to longevity. It smells lovely, is a nice colour and is lovely and soft. Can you tell? I love it!
