Saw this bag in a local luggage store for almost $500.  As usual, I always check Amazon first.  There are some negative reviews here but Im a die-hard Saddleback Leather fan and have been for almost 15 years now.  This isn't to THAT level of quality, nor even a Tumi for that matter.  But for a young female entering the business world, this briefcase looks more like a large tote bag but with the accents of a nice purse.  Its got a great number of interior accessory pockets and the padded laptop compartment is perfect size for a MacBook, Air or small 13-15 laptop.

My recent college Marketing grad daughter loves it and she gets so many nice compliments about it when carrying it.  Lets hope she lands a job worthy of its quality!

Highly recommended.  PS - it looks quite shiny but thats clearly because its waxed leather.
