Dave has been a wonderful to communicate with. I purchased not long before Christmas and never expected it would arrive before that time, but it did. So my husband could open his present on Christmas morning. He loved the bag, but thought it was slightly too light in color. But Dave was so helpful and was able to exchange it for a darker one. This bag is beautifully made and my husband will enjoy it for many years to come!

This is a rugged man’s bag perfect for the new iPad mini with extra space to unload your pockets while traveling. More importantly, it fits into my everyday carry needs professionally. Compliments already in the first day of use! I have bought from this store over years and never disappointed in quality or the service. Always greeted quickly, with honesty and highest quality of service. Heartedly recommend this utility bag. I have passed my shoulder pouch satchel, well used, to my youngest who is now excited to have is own bag to carry his prize possessions. Thanks for the quick service! This is a keeper!

I've purchased this bag together with several others from Rustic Leather and, although I live way up north in Michigan, I actually had a chance to meet the "head honcho" Dave. All of my purchases, this bag included, are perfect and people comment on the bags I personally use all the time. I highly recommend this product, together with anything Dave is making. I can say this with confidence as I've met Dave, before I ever owned a bag and my first discussion with him happened as I asked him where he found what I saw as being the coolest travel bag ever (it turned out to be an XL chocolate brown brief case). Once Dave described the personal time and effort he invests to produce his leather goods, I started ordering items for myself, then others. Every item is always perfect and my gift recipients rave about their gifts for years!

I'm in loooove!!! This is the BEST messenger bag I've ever owned. It's everything I could have hoped for and I know this will last me a decade or two, it's that sturdy and well made. I'm goth so it suits my style well, but it will suit anyone who wants a good looking and classic bag that will never go out of style. It's pretty heavy due to the thick leather, so keep that in mind when ordering the medium or large.

Awesome, slick and rugged look. Gave it to my husband as a gift, he loves it.

Item arrived. Looks good thanks.

This bag is gorgeous! I love things that are rustic & unisex, as I feel they work well with my overall look (classic pieces, things that never go out of style.) The craftsmanship of this bag is readily apparent. I am confident it will be a long-time companion & a staple of my wardrobe. I look forward to taking it on adventures. Even taking my writer’s notebook & sunglasses in/out of it is a joy. The leather is gorgeous & I expect a beautiful patina over time. Thank you, Dave, for this incredible piece! Well-packaged & shipped in a reasonable amount of time.

This is a larger satchel. I have a smaller one from a competitor. This will fit my laptop, and be good for shopping (I bring my own re-useable bags), and hiking. Well constructed and love the side pockets, one of which can be closed.

Great bag, I waited a long time to buy this. It looks well made and is a very cool idea - Love the upgraded Mail Carrier concept. I had mine laser engraved with my name and company logo, which came out really nice. Well worth the extra money having it done! My only two complaint/concerns, which aren't that big of a deal, is the leather seemed very dried out, for the money spent, you'd think it would have been a bit more soft and supple of a feel to it. The other issue is the leather security that closes dividers inside the bag seems to be a bit wimpy, but maybe it's just me. Would have like to see that a bit heavier. When the bag if full there's a lot of pressure on that one strap. Again, just my thoughts. Great pack job and it arrived safe and sound.

Toss up as to how I feel. Doesn’t look like the picture, the design is mostly same but handle is roughly stitched - not as smooth as pictured, buckle rivets different configuration, Shoulder strap different, no maker’s mark (not a big deal), leather is very stiff but suppose it’ll loosen over time but has a crack on the top, front strap very cracked seems like it could break over time with regular use. I’m not trying to knock it, it is still a nice day bag for work and stylish, but just not as expected.
