I really like this replacement for a years-old vinyl bag given to me by my dad years ago that I was reluctant to replace. As an international and national traveler, you must get used to the idea of purchasing good quality travel supplies that will stand the test of unruly baggage handlers everywhere. Also the repeated use of needed items. This bag at first, looked as it might be a bit too small for my needs, but when it arrived and I unpacked it, I found that I was right about it being a bit smaller than my old traditional bag. But what I learned is that I could eliminate some items that I always carried but didn't always need. This of course will vary from person to person. I then began to pack this new bag with the basics. After doing so, I realized that the bag somewhat expanded and filled out nicely with all the items that I really needed! I was then able to add just a few other smaller things to fill it out for my coming trip across the country. I was very happy about this! I proved to be well worth the higher price point for this bag.
So now about the build quality and details about the various storage pockets.
There weren't many additional pockets for small items but the exterior zip pocket was roomy enough for my small med organizer. and handy-wipe packets.
The leather construction is great! I've read other reviews on build inconsistencies like uneven sewing on the handle loop or the leather zipper link. I would expect a few handmade inconsistencies like this. Not that this isn't a problem but for me, I can tolerate a certain level of that as long as the stitches are done well. But if it's too much, as it might have been with others, I'm sure that the manufacturer would be more than glad to assist. (Inconvenience noted). As for my bag, it was very nicely constructed. The magnet tab was a little out of alignment, but as I continued to open and close the bag, it became less of an issue. I started gaining a repetitive memory and would snap into place on its own. I love the leather look and feel overall and I'm really glad that I took a chance on this bag. The look has a character to it and that makes them kind of special. So yes. I would recommend these bags if you want something that in my opinion, you will use for many years to come. I gave it all 5 stars.
