Kenneth Cole REACTION Risky Business Genuine Colombian Leather Messenger Bag - Crossbody Laptop Case & Tablet Day Bag for Work, Travel & School

My husband bought this for me and I absolutely love it. I desperately needed a replacement for my timbuk2 messenger bag, which is unwieldy, uncomfortable, ugly, and always ruins my clothiers because I am a klutz and the velcro snags me all the time.When I first saw the picture of this bag online I was worried about a few things: I thought that it would look too masculine, I wanted an over-the-shoulder bag with two straps and I thought this would be uncomfortable to carry around all day, and I was worried about that it wouldn't carry everything I needed. I was wrong about all of these.The bag is gorgeous and definitely not too masculine for my personal tastes. I have already received several compliments on the way it looks. As a friend noted, "its classic". The bag is a deep brown (much darker than in the picture), the leather is very soft and nicely distressed, and overall it has beautiful clean lines.The strap is very sturdy and wraps around the bottom (under the leather) so the weight is distributed evenly. The strap adjusts and I have it hanging more at purse level rather than carrying across my body like a messenger bag, which is more comfortable for me and I imagine more comfortable for some other women too.I am a grad student and a teacher so I usually need to drag enough stuff around with me to get through a day of teaching and taking classes. This bag comfortably fits my 13" laptop, a large notebook, some folders, my phone, my wallet, a rather large pencil box, my makeup bag, my iPod and headphones, a water bottle, a snack, a kindle, my glasses case, a change purse, two smaller note pads, and some other random small things.For what I need, it is absolutely perfect. That being said, it has a few minor drawbacks- Maybe I am just an idiot, but with all the stuff I put in there, I find that getting the snaps to line up takes a few extra seconds. I have to actually line them up before they click in place. Once they are in place they will hold all day, but I have to make sure I have everything in my bag stacked in a particular way then line the snaps up by hand. They magnets don't catch each other on their own.- There are some great pockets and slots on the inside, but I wish there was at least one more pocket that had a zipper. The only pocket with a zipper is the largest pocket that lines the inner wall of the bag. You could easily fit some folders in there but its impractical for change, my headphones, or any of the other smaller things that I want to be able to locate easily. I have to carry these things in a small bag or other container, which actually has worked really well because everything is organized, but I still would like to have a place for change instead of carrying around a change purse.-The bag does not have a lot of inner structure. If I put it on the floor without my computer or a notebook to hold it up, it will sag and flop over. I usually hang it up so it has not been an issue, but I can see how it might be a problem if someone is looking for something more along the lines of a tote bag.Like I said, these are minor issues to me. The quality of the interior, exterior, strap, stitching, etc. are very high and I imagine I will have this for many years to come. I would highly recommend this.
