I used to carry my laptop, iPad, chargers, pens, etc., in the backpack that I carried back in college. I received a promotion at work and I was needing something less "College-y." So I decided to buy this messenger bag and the pictures online don't do justice. You can see in the picture my old bag versus my new bag.

It fits my 13.3 inch Macbook Pro, iPad and other misc. items that I carry to work each day. It has that new leather smell and seems to be made of high quality. BUY THIS BAG!
