This is an elegant ladies laptop messenger bag/briefcase made of attractive PU leather with delicate cutout design work across the front and a bow that adds a nice feminine touch to a professional looking bag. I ordered the blue color which has a rich consistent tone that's true to the product picture on this page. I think it looks even more attractive in hand than in the product photos and I think the antique brass hardware compliments it very nicely as well.

The bag offers three carry options: handbag, shoulder bag, or cross body, and measures approximately 14.2 x 10.2 x 3.9 inches. It's a fairly simple design with all of the storage inside the main compartment and no storage on the outside of the bag. The bag has a large fold over flap with two magnetic snaps that latch it closed. I found that I had to move the flap around some to position it so that the magnets closed together, and it took more effort when the bag was loaded with gear so that's a slight inconvenience at times.

The flap also extends down nearly to the bottom of the bag which makes it awkward to access the main compartment easily when carrying the bag. Although the flap looks attractive, I would prefer that it was only half as long in order to offer more convenient access to the main compartment.

The main compartment has a zippered close top that glides open and closed easily, and the entire interior is lined in a rich brown colored cotton material. I like that because the dark color won't show ink stains or dirt so it will continue to look nice much longer than a lighter fabric would. The front wall of the main compartment has two cell phone or other small device pockets, and the back wall has a padded compartment for a small laptop or tablet that's 12" across followed by a 7" x 5" zippered compartment immediately behind that.

Besides holding a small laptop or tablet in the padded compartment, the interior of the bag is spacious enough to easily hold project folders, presentation materials, books, another tablet, power cords, adapters and other gear. You can carry this bag by the sturdy handle, or attach the adjustable shoulder straps so you can carry it as a shoulder bag, or increase the strap length to carry it cross body.

All stitching appears to be very well done with reinforcement at all attachment and stress points, and the lobster claw strap hardware is very secure once attached. Zippers open and close smoothly and are well attached. The only downsides about this bag in my opinion are the large awkward front flap and the somewhat weak magnetic snaps. Otherwise, the bag looks feminine without looking too girly, although I'm undecided about that bow. It definitely looks professional enough to carry on campus or into business meetings, and certainly seems well made. Enjoy!
