Great backpack.
I have had several good backpacks over the years. This one would rank in the top 2. Evading the government requires you to grab and go quickly. This backpack has plenty of places to stash your sundries, fake passports, confidential flash drives and the like. The interior is very nice and the padded compartment would easily protect a laptop or satellite guidance system. There are numerous pockets inside for your secondary weapons if you have them. The leather is soft but sturdy...like a female Russian spy. If taken care of, this pack will give you years of use...also like a female Russian spy. It may not stop a bullet but no taser will be effective. The straps fit very comfortably and after you have evaded your enemy you will laugh in luxury on the train to Busan.

Great bag for minimalist carry
This is a great slim line backpack for carrying a laptop, power cord, external mouse, notebook and a couple files. If you want to carry more than that this is probably not the bag for you. The description says it fits 14" laptop and that is what it is designed for. The listing said the height was 17", so I took a chance. Well, 17" if you measure to the top of the handle :-) The compartment to hold the computer is just over 15" so it is a tight squeeze to fit a Dell 15.6" laptop in. The strap to hold the laptop in place does not reach over the 15.6" laptop but being so tight it isn't needed, the top flap holds it tight. The side pockets will hold a slim water bottle, about the diameter of a can of soda (see pics). The shoulder straps are curved and it is easy to carry on one shoulder without constantly sliding off. A nice feature of the design is that, depending on how it is loaded, it will generally stand upright on its own without leaning it against something.The leather is a thick enough that it should last for years but not so thick as to be rigid and stiff. It is what I would call raw tanned and does not have a hard finish except on the accent straps, it is soft and supple. I gave it a couple coats of honey leather conditioner which darkened it somewhat and smoothed out the grain. After a little over a month of use it is already starting to look broken in and developing some character. Great bag if you don't need to carry large amounts of stuff.

The BEST leather bags!!
LOVE THE VELEZ BAGS!!! All kinds. I have purchased a few in Colombia and thankfully here on Amazon. I hope they will open up their product lines to Amazon more.The quality and design are better than pretty much anything you’ll find online. The leather quality (of Colombia, of course) is better than anywhere. Forget Italy, etc.

Looks good now, will look even better in 20 years!
This is a gorgeous bag that looks good now, but will get even better with age. If you’re into an explorer/Indiana Jones looking bag, this is it! It’s extremely well made and the leather is sturdy as heck. All the leather edges are finished nicely, and it’s fully lined. There’s a nice, heavy duty metal zipper on the top, and a laptop sleeve (just big enough for a 15” laptop) and internal pockets for keeping things neatly organized. It’s not too big, so on crowded trains it isn’t a nuisance. The outside pockets are super easy to get in and out of, with magnets under the buckles for quick access on the back pocket, and loops on the side pockets.Overall I am super happy with this bag, and I am looking forward to using it for at least the next couple decades!

Great quality
I'd looked at several backpacks that had a similar look but this was the best, in my opinion and it was about $150 less than the others. I highly recommend it. The quality is great. The only negative I found was that when you pull the top zipper too far back, it's a little hard to pull back to close. You just have to watch the lower material so it doesn't catch. I have a lot of traveling coming up and later I'll detail how it's held up.

The most BEAUTIFUL Leather bag I’ve ever bought
This is the MOST beautiful leather bag I have EVER purchased. I bought four leather bags (at the same time) from Amazon, hoping to see them all in person and pick the best one as an anniversary gift to my husband. This was the last one I opened and when I did, oh my goodness!!!! I fell in love! Wowwwwww! It is SO beautiful, well stitched and so artfully designed! The clasps are sturdy and well constructed. It is evident that the designer used high end materials and the bag will definitely be able to stand the test of time. It looks good in the picture but a million times better in person! I will buy more goods from this merchant in the future. : )

Beautiful Explorer/Leather backpack
This beautiful women's leather backpack was so appealing that it caught my attention so quickly. It was love at first sight, to make sure if it was I purchased it. And let me tell you it is totally worth every penny. From the leather being sturdy, to the zipper being easy to zip, having very good material, to the sizes being perfect (for a 15" laptop), to stitches being well sewed, pockets being easy to access. This backpack in general is just a 10/10. I really recommend purchasing products from this company. Will highly see myself buying from here more often! I am completely satisfied with this cute bag, will be using it very often!
