Messenger Bag

I searched high and low for the perfect laptop bag. We're talking hours and weeks. It was a tall order to fill, because I am so very picky. I needed something to fit my macbook pro 13'. I wanted it to hold a notebook or two, wallet, phone and pens. Phone pocket and pen loops were a MUST-have, as was a separate pocket for the computer. It needed to be all real leather. Not that 'genuine leather' fake garbage. And it needed to be substantial. I wanted a bag that would last. It had to be fully lined. It needed a carry strap to hold on top as well as the over-the-shoulder variety. It needed to look professional enough to go to the office but not so dressy that it looked silly with jeans. It needed to hold everything but look sophisticated - not bulky. This bag is perfect. I especially like the quality of the leather. It wears in, not out, and it's already started to get this really interesting patina to it. A cheaper bag would just look scuffed. I love the quality of the hardware. It is substantial and not cheap at all. Small nits: The carry strap is great, but I would love it if it came with a shoulder pad or if one were available for sale. Also, I had to drill a few more holes in the strap to shorten it enough to wear it comfortably. I'd also love to buy a good leather conditioner but not really sure what to get. If you sold and recommended one, I would buy it. All in all, this is the perfect bag for a 13' laptop.
