GEARONICMessenger Bag for Laptop Vintage Canvas Leather Crossbody Satchel Shoulder Computer Bag Travel Office Messenger Bag

I absolutely love this bag! I’m a woodcarver and I bought it for toting around all of my knives and other supplies. There is plenty of space to hold everything I need! It’s really cute, is very nice quality, and has a very comfortable strap! The perfect bag!

I purchased this bag after eyeballing it and it's good reviews for quite some time. There are so many excellent reviews here that one might wonder why I would even bother, let alone a review packed with pictures and information. The answer is simple: the bag is so good that I wanted to write this review, regardless of it's value in a sea of good reviews.The pictures I have included show the 3 main scenarios I have for this bag. The first is my art jaunts. I like to go out in the world, into town, into nature, and sketch and do art. So I take multiple sketchbooks, drawing implements, binoculars, my iPad, charger for cell phone and iPad, my travel journal, little handy measuring tape, a big bag of copic markers, etc. The second scenario is my daily go-to. This is what I bring with me to work. Mixed Media sketchbook for finalized art, a smaller sketchbook for practice and design, my ever-present iPad, a small case of pencils and pens, my travel journal. I take this to work so I can spend my lunch break doing what I love, and sometimes on the way home I might hit my favorite trail and find a cozy spot to draw or read. Lastly is my Dungeons & Dragons gaming nights. I show one picture with this bag crammed with 6 D&D books (but more on that in a moment) and one with the stuff I actually take.This bag handles all three of my needed uses extremely well. It feels sturdy, the strap feels nice on my shoulder even when it is weighed down by heavy stuff. I love the look of it, the feel of it, how sturdy it appears and how durable. I love every part of this.SIZE:None of the things I carry are larger than a D&D book, and those fit just fine. I don't imagine this will fit laptops much bigger than a 15" as other reviews have said. But the size for me was what made me hesitate getting this. I didn't want it to be too big, but I also wanted it to carry everything. I take this to work every day, a 9-5 office type job, so I didn't want to be lugging around a massive laptop bag with my sketchbook and pencils just floating around in the void. But I also wanted a bag that could carry all the stuff I wanted to carry when I needed to, such as art jaunts and D&D games. I felt like I was asking a lot. For a bag to be big, yet small, and to be stylish yet rugged, and to be comfortable and light, even crammed with stuff. This bag delivers.The picture I included where it shows like 6 D&D books was just to show that as a DM it isn't quite enough. I need to carry several books, a huge bag of dice, a notebook with all my notes, several folders, and my collection of monster minis. Obviously ALL that wont fit. But I do have a separate bag that I have my minis and notebooks and a few books in, and I use this bag to carry the books I always need, my notebook, and my sketchbook (as I will sit and draw while my party chat or whatever). But during the games where I am a player it fits the few books I need, and my folder of characters, and my art things.I love how even crammed full this bag doesn't dig into my shoulder. It rests comfortably on my hip in such a way that it takes some pressure off the shoulder strap. I should also say that I am a big girl, so I was also concerned that this bag wouldn't fit comfortably with the strap across my chest. A lot of cross body bags I've gotten have usually ended up riding too high up on my side because the strap was too short, or not been able to be a cross body bag at all and had to be held like a purse. I hate that. So this one that rests right where it should when I extend the straps is PERFECT.DESIGN:I am a girl, but not a particularly girly one. And in recent months I've become more active and out and about. I've taken up hiking in an attempt to lose weight, and so will seek out new nature trails to traverse and bring this with me, so when I find a nice spot I can plop down and draw a bit. I bring binoculars and a camera and my sketch stuff, and this bag holds them well. I wanted a bag that wasn't particularly girly, because I am not particularly girly. But it is nice and looks cool. I've already gotten a couple compliments and I've only had it about a day!I purchased the Coffee color, so that is the color in the pictures. I am glad I did. I wasn't sure how accurate the colors of the pictures were for the product above, but I knew I wanted a rich brown color. My pictures make it look a bit lighter/more gray than it actually is, but it isn't quite the rich brown the picture makes it appear to be either. There is a bit of a grayish look to it when in bright or sun light, like my pictures, and a bit darker brown in normal room light. I'm not disappointed enough in the color not being exact enough to knock a star off, but be prepared for the color to not be exactly what it shows above. Rely on reviewers pictures to get a better idea of color.DURIBILITY:I may have had this just a little over 2 days now, but I've put it through some paces. I crammed it full of D&D stuff the other night and carried it on the mile walk to my friends house. My shoulder wasn't sore by the time I got there, and I received no impression that the bag wouldn't be able to handle the strain. I did drop it in the gravel driveway by accident, and nothing negative resulted. Though it isn't at all padded so I was worried about my iPad getting broken. I will be getting a protective padded sleeve for my iPad soon.The straps appear to be real leather, and the stitching looks exceptionally good, both as a design element and as a sturdy stitching that will hold up. The front straps just magnetic snap in place, making it super easy to open the bag. You could unbuckle it instead, the buckles do function. I almost wish they hadn't had them snap in place and did just use the buckles as that would have been kind of aesthetically neat, but I can understand why they did because having to undo buckles might have become an annoyance to some.The front pockets are spacious. They can fit my iPhone 7 plus and still close, though getting to it there can be difficult if you snap the pockets closed, so I just let them flop so I can reach under and pull my phone out, as my phone is also my wallet. My 7 plus can also fit in the little side pockets but just can't close the pocket. A bottle of water can also fit in those pockets. Surprisingly, they don't snap close but you actually have to undo the buckles to get to something.MATERIALS:The canvas of this bag is nice. I was looking at all leather bags but glad I decided to go with this canvas one with leather accents. It's very nice. The canvas allows it to be the size I need but also be smaller. If I don't fill it full it doesn't look like its folding in on itself, it maintains it's shape well. So even with just a sketchbook and my ipad this bag looks nice.The leather straps are very nice worn leather look. The stitching is a nice accent with thread that is just a bit lighter and more color saturated than the bag. Almost an orange color. The effect is nice. The interior is lined with a thinner greenish-gray color interior. The zippers looks pretty strong, and I'm not too worried about them breaking (though I do have bad luck with zippers in general).Where the straps connect to the bag looks very very durable. They knew people would want to cram stuff in this bag and it would be heavy and I think they made the straps accordingly. It feels very strong, and even tugging on it, it feels solid. I have very little fear of these straps fraying or breaking or coming apart from the bag. Honestly I think the canvas would tear before the straps come apart.CONCLUSION:This bag is perfect, at least for me and my uses. There are a lot of questions about size, and many of the poor reviews are because it wasn't big enough for the person's needs. This wont fit a massive laptop. It wont fit a ton of school books. This bag would be ideal for high school if you're a student that actually utilizes their locker. If you want to carry everything in here all day, it probably wont work (if school books are still as big as I remember). I think it will fit a binder or two.For me, as a "traveling artist" in a sense, it's perfect. The one smaller zippered pocket on the inside is enough for a few loose ends, my iphone charger, the little case with my Bluetooth earbuds, my eraser and little measuring tape and any other little things (I don't carry like chopstick or lipstick or any of that but it would fit in there if I did. I also think it would fit a phone and and a wallet for example). I can take stuff out and put stuff in depending on what I am doing and where I am going.I intend for this bag to be my constant companion, to go with me practically everwhere. And I will update this review in a few months to see how it's held up. I have high hopes and look forward to the adventure. This bag is amazing, and if you are on the fence as I was, wondering if this is the bag for you, putting it in your wishlist and coming back to it again and again...wondering. Just get it. You wont regret it. And hopefully my pictures do a good job of demonstrating the size for you, so you wont misjudge and get something that is too small.I love this bag.

Ok so! Just got this bag yesterday. I was looking for something to keep and carry around some simple art items on the road. This seemed to meet the challenge so I ordered it.Can't say for sure, but it feels plenty durable at the moment. It will be going camping with me soon, so I'll have to check back in.It fits a LOT!!!! I couldn't get my laptop in, but that's not why I bought it anyhow. Here's a list of what you see in the pictures that it fit with ease.1. iPad (2nd gen) in a cover2. 3 drawing instruction guides3. 1 canson xl mixed media book4. 1. Hard cover sketchbook5. 1 pack tombow markers6. 1 tin of pencils7. 1 pouch with micron pens8. 1 hardcover journal.Not shown, phone and chargers.Also it looks good. I'm a male, 6' tall, burly lumberjack lookin type, and I don't look silly ( not fully ) carrying this.My main gripe is that the main compartment is lined and the lining seems to reduce the carry capacity.So to shorten it up.Pros: good construction(so far) Looks good Can be stuffed to the gills Great price pointCons: long term durability a question Inner lining seems an unneeded reduction In room

Super cute, good quality, and really big too!

I've had it for many years now (about 6 years) it has been really durable, I'll probably keep using it for many more. And it looks great, although with so many years it has lost a bit of color, but nothing too drastic.

The snaps are great. It just what the doctor ordered for me to carry my log book a travel wallet and always have necessary papers with me. My I-pad sleeve fits in it perfectly so even though it is not cushioned it works for me. Easy access and the strap is very comfortable for me to carry all day. The only thing that would have made it better was a handle on the top. Quality tarp material and water beads off as it should.

This is a very good looking sturdy well made bag. I get compliments on it wherever I go and share the company info so other gals can buy itAbsolutely love!Thank you!

A bolsa aparenta ter bastante resistência, é bem grande, cabe tudo que eu preciso, porém o couro utilizado é muito mais fino que o que aparece no anúncio. Pedi a cor café, pelo couro parecer mais escuro e bem mais grosso nas imagens do anúncio, e como da pra ver na foto o couro é bem claro, liso, e muito mais fino, não gostei disso, de perto aparenta muito menos robustez. Nas fotos também a cor da bolsa parece um alaranjado, bem mais interessante que essa cor marrom que me enviaram. A qualidade é muito boa, mas a estética é bem diferente.

Excellent achat, exactement comme sur les photos, sauf pour la couleur qui est légèrement plus pâle. Mais il est très beau et je suis très heureuse d'avoir acheté ce sac.

Es una mochila muy espaciosa, me encanto es de una tela muy resistente, le doy 4 estrellas solo por que me gustaria que se fabrique en otros colores para mas variedad y tambien me gustaria que la correas fueran de piel autentica de ahi en fuera es genial para viajar con ella a cualquier lugar

Wonderful. Perfect for me.

Just the satchel I needed to carry those smaller items such as my journal and pen roll. Looks very hard wearing and is constructed with longevity in mind. Overall a very good buy
