Komal’s Passion Leather KPL 18″ Leather Briefcase Laptop Bag

I just received the satchel. Very well packed and protected. It comes in a cardboard box with brown paper for protection. When you get it out, the satchel is yet protected inside two plastic bag and one linen bag. I was very impressed by this. The metal bits (buckles etc) comes wrapped in protective-pad like paper and film.

So in terms of delivery, 5 stars.

The satchel itself looks fantastic. The stitching looks alright, good finished there. The leather has leathery smell although in my case, not too strong. The leather looks ok, not dry and bends perfectly without creating any crease. Some people said the leather is too thin, for me is ok. Looks sturdy enough to last under adverse weather conditions. The zips are working and in one piece although they do not look the best. The strap is, in my opinion, good size in length and width. It has a padded support that can be adjust so it always will be on your shoulder. The strap clasps/hooks look good and sturdy. I have read some people having problems with them, we will see. First impression: they look good.

Overall quality 4.5 stars because I am not sure how long the zips will work correctly.

The satchel is so spacious inside. There is a lot of space for books, pads, laptop and more. I can fit my 15.6″ laptop, books, documents, stationary, etc. with no problem. The front pockets are small for these days smartphones, but still very useful to hold pens, pencils and things like that. Very functional.

Size and storing space 5 stars.

The vintage looks is very elegant and smart. Also is comfortable to carry (just carry it out around the house to test). The leather tone in my satchel is very similar to the one shown in the picture on Amazon, so very happy with this. With the passing of the time the leather will look even better.

Design 5 stars

I need to start using the satchel now on daily basis for work, we will see if it last for long. By the overall look of it, the satchel should last years. Fingers crossed.

So far my satisfaction with this satchel is total.

Super soddisfatta! Veramente bella e resistente si vede che è fatta artigianalmente.

5 stars for style, vendor response & day-to-day use. Scale of 1-10, a solid 8.

I was in the market for an updated laptop bag. I’d gone through the gamut of various backpacks and briefcases. When I saw this bag, I thought it must be cheaply made because the cost was quite affordable. Thankfully I was mistaken.

For starters the bag is very stylish. It’s billed as a men’s messenger bag but I have received quite a few compliments on it. The bag comes in 2 colors; a darker gray made of Full grain buffalo leather and the caramel color I have is made out of mountain goat leather. The longer I keep it, the better I like it. Make sure you get products to protect the leather from liquids and heavy oils that will discolor the bag. (Still adds to the character)

What I love:

The owner of Passion Leather Komal Chaudhari sends this very nice thank you letter on excellent card stock. Within the letter are instructions and expectations. She points out that this is genuine leather and so there may be a smell but it will dissipate over time.

Also, because these are handcrafted, the natural hue and appeal of the bag is that as it ages the colors may slightly change over time. This adds to the beauty of the bag. The stitching is exquisite.

She asks to please reach out to her first if there are any issues. They are a small business. I tested this and emailed her because I had tons of questions. Her team responded within a day, most times quicker, as in a few hours.

The bag has lots of pockets and slots to store things. I was able to put in my small devices along with my 15” laptop and a small paper notepad. My laptop is a15 inch but my 17 in easily fit in my bag. It has a long adjustable strap and the clasps/hook on the longer shoulder strap is sturdy and larger, not flimsy and small like some bags and the metal is quite nice.

What I don’t like: The shoulder pad on the strap is quite small and thin. The plastic wrapped around the metal accoutrements were a bit tough to get off and had a residue but it cleaned easily. The bag itself is kind of thin (but the inside mesh is quite nice) I wish the buckles had a snap feature to close the pocket but instead you have to actually put it in the loops to lock it (except the main flap as it does snap in and that is also adjustable too. The zipper is very good but I wish it were a tad sturdier.

Since the bag is thin, you cannot haul too many heavy items, as it felt like my strap was going to give. This travels fair; meaning it’s great to put in the car and go or possibly on a short flight. Anything longer, not certain it will hold up. I’m not sure if the shoulder strap was glued before stitching. The stitching is solid; however, some areas are already showing some fraying.

(I was a little tougher than normal as I wanted to check wear and tear for the review)

Overall, I would definitely buy this bag again and I plan to purchase other items from this vendor. I know it’s a leather company but I wished they also offered vegan options too.
