This bag is so great! I couldn't have asked for better quality bag at a better price. The leather is buttery soft and the size is just perfect for carrying all my files back and forth to meetings and occasionally my laptop, and it accomplishes the task beautifully. It's not a stiff leather, if you don't have it full of stuff it contours to your body when you carry it and the strap is very durable. Awesome bag, when / if this one wears out I will definitely buy another just like this one. Must buy!
