Great bag, solidly built

I bought this as a replacement work bag to bring to and from the office, to hold my lunch, water bottle, and anything else I need for the day. It looks great in a classic, utilitarian style. Everything about it feels solid and built to last, and I'm a huge fan so far.

Great multi-use bag!

Works great as a briefcase, but is not limited to that use. Day trip when I do not need a “briefcase”? I just empty it out and use the large main compartment for a spare change of clothes and toiletry items, etc… Craftsmanship is as expected…stout and beautiful. Like the description says, “pure function”. Definitely recommend.
