I love this bag. It arrived in a huge box and was exactly as described when I opened it. It was flawless - no scuffs or scratches. It is a bit larger than I expected, but I used it as my carry-on on a delta flight with no comment from agents and it easily fit into the overhead compartment. The zipper into the main opening isn't the smoothest, but it is pretty heavy duty and I expect it will last through years of use. I got a TON of stuff into this for my trip - 5 days worth - 5 pairs of pants, 5 dresses, 2 bathing suits, undergarments, a few shirts, and 3 pairs of sandals - tightly rolled and tightly packed, but it all fit nonetheless. The leather is stiff, which I appreciate, as it holds it shape even when the bag is mercilessly stuffed. I applied some bickford leather conditioner to keep it from drying out in between uses. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased, and look forward to traveling in style with this bag for quite some time.

PS: the lock's key is TINY and easy to miss if you don't know where to look for it - mine was attached to the tag that was on the handle. The lock is really more aesthetic than functional, but I don't go leaving my things unsupervised so it's not something that is a drawback for me.
