Ah! The satisfaction of finding the perfect bag for your needs (sigh)...

I needed a nice bag big enough to carry all the stuff I wanted to take with me to class and I believe I found the answer, a few Amazon orders later.

This bag is made of quality leather. You can smell the leather right out of the box. Its dimensions are 17.5 * H 12 * W 7.5 (10 D).
It is accompanied by another, larger bag in which to store it in when not in use. That storage bag is made up of the same material used for reusable shopping bags. It has screen printing of the name brand in English and in Kanji script (which language, I'm not sure).
The pricing was very reasonable compared to other leather/leather-like bags I tried. I got my bang for the buck with this one in regards to size, quality, and amount of pockets inside and out. It reminds me of something like a cross between an attorney's attache case and a doctor's bag. It looks very professional for sure.
There are two pockets in the front which close by the use of one long flap and two magnets, one on each pocket. The magnets could be stronger to ensure safe closure so don't stuff anything too big into these. Otherwise, they're so deep and snug depending on what you put there that even if the flap was loose, I don't think you'd lose anything. Each pocket looks big enough to place a regular sized paperback book.
On the opposite side is a single zippered pocket that takes up that entire side, save for the few inches from the top where the straps are connected. It also has an adjustable strap that is link connected to either end so it can be worn cross body or upon the shoulder.
I haven't had this long enough to determine if or when the single strap will break, but I'll update if it does.
One reviewer had said, "...after contacting the seller MyLux, they graciously offered to replace the broken strap and even to replace the new one should it ever break in the future....". That's the type of customer service I like hearing about so I didn't hesitate to purchase this on the spot.
I'm able to fit quite a few things inside this bag--A thick textbook, the accompanying workbook, two college notebooks, two different paperbacks, my pen/pencil case, and a wallet clutch with room leftover. And then there are the two front pockets and that single one on the opposite side....
Take a chance on this one. I'm glad I did.
Update September 21, 2013:  I recently emailed the company regarding a broken shoulder strap. The hardware connecting the shoulder strap to the bag broke on one end. In my email I included proof of purchase from my Amazon receipt. They were very helpful and merely asked for my address in which to send a new strap. Within a week after emailing them my information I received a new strap in a bubble mailer. I am extremely pleased.
