McKLEIN 15" Leather Laptop Briefcase- WINNETKA

I purchased the bag to use as a sort of briefcase/purse for running around town, meeting with clients, etc. When it arrived I was pleased to find the color rich and vibrant, the construction very sturdy and formal, and the bag is nicely lined throughout and has many pockets/pouches/organizational tools that for the most part are pretty useful. I've been suing it for about two months now.I have found that when my computer is inside the laptop sleeve (in which it fits perfectly, it is a 15'' MBP and there's even pouch on the laptop sleeve for storage of misc items.) there is not as much room for other stuff as you might imagine. That being said, I can squeeze in the laptop, a Wacom drawing tablet, a kindle, one softcover book, and a clipboard with 20-30 pieces of paper in the bag. I imagine I could fit more but with the rigidness of the leather right now, it would look weird if it was bulging. I don't think this is the bag for you if you have to carry a lot of paper/books/files.

Very fine leather, sturdy bag. A little heavy, but expected given the quality of the product. The inner zippered section is small as per the other reviews and a standard 8-1/2x11 notepad will not fit. Front pocket has nice small slots for cell phone, etc., but a gusset would have been a good idea to enable better access. Love the feel of it. Love the drop (good for shoulder carrying). Love the look. Lots of compliments.

I really thought this laptop case was pretty and rich looking but it didn't fit my 15.4" Samsung Laptop. Even when I took the sleeve out of the case I couldn't get it in there and the hassle factor was too high for keeping the bag so I sent it back. There is NO wiggle room. It should be sold as 15" bag. But, yes, it is pretty!!

Let me start by saying that this bag is extremely attractive. It is also very large and heavy, which I wouldn't mind if it was functional. Unfortunately, the bag has serious design flaws that really limit how much stuff you can put in it. The leather on this bag is extremely stiff -- no give at all -- and the opening is too narrow. Even when I pull the opening apart as far as it will go, I have to squeeze my hand down into it. My laptop fits, but just barely and I can't carry anything else at the same time. Without the laptop, I can carry one file folder about half full. The front pocket has the same problem -- it doesn't open wide enough to be useful. If you are wondering, I am a youngish woman with very slim hands, so the problem isn't me -- it is the bag. I am returning this item because I can't justify carrying such a big, heavy bag if it doesn't function the way I need it to.

After one month of normal use the handle pulled off this bag. It was glued on and appears to have little reinforcement. The bag will be going back. I would not recommend this item.

I was looking for a work laptop bag that would fit in my 14.5" laptop and double as a purse. Cheaper laptop bags I've purchased in the past would only last maybe a year before straps would break (even a Samsonite I had once), so I wanted to make sure I picked up a higher quality bag this time. I decided to give this bag a try because it looked really nice and professional, and it met my requirement of fitting my laptop.The bag itself comes with what I assume is a laptop sleeve, but I never use it and like that it's roomy without the matching sleeve. The front side panel includes lots of little pockets for pens, a phone, etc, great for small/flat items. Inside, there's a partition that breaks the space into two; I use one for my laptop and the other for miscellaneous items I would put in my purse. I can't put everything in there I would put in my purse, but it's enough room for essentials--I can fit my power cord, a thin headphone set, my wallet, and another small bag in the second partition.I'm giving this 4 stars because I love it now. Will update my rating by a star depending on the durability of the bag over time.

great item for a giftGreat quality and great look and style

This is a very resilient, and fashionable bag. I fly every week for my job and I have found it to be spacious, comfortable to carry, and I get compliments on it constantly. It is a very heavy leather that is very durable...I abuse it every day and it holds up! I have used this one every day for at least two years now....and it is still going strong!
