S-ZONESuitcase, Black

First let me say that I spent a really long time researching other bags that were similar to this one. This was the style I was looking for and I just couldn't go through with purchasing the others because they had negative reviews as well as good ones but the negatives were enough to turn me off. This bag has not disappointed me at all! I even bought the Blue one for my sister since I thought it would be nice for her to have a beautiful purse to take to her new job. The two reviewers that posted videos of the bag were of help, so I provided a lot of pictures because I felt they didn't show the bag broken in. I hope my review is helpful! Here are the things that sold me about this purse and everything I love about it after having it.1. I really liked the color (brown/orange) and it was true to the pictures they provided except the Blue one is much darker than in the pic.2. It is HUGE! It is a true tote that can easily hold a laptop, ipad, or notebooks/books although I don't think you'd want to overload it. I also love the divider in the center that has a zipper so you can put things in there you may not want exposed.3. All of the hardware is very nice and sturdy. Zippers open and close with ease and seem to be of good quality. The interior has a nice lining that feels like silk but much sturdier. Also, the pockets inside for your phone or whatever are binded with leather (see pic) and it gives it a nice touch.4. The leather looks and feels AMAZING. My bag also did not have a "chemical" smell and neither did my sisters bag. I made sure to ask her. Other people mentioned a smell but mine just smelled like new leather. Once I placed my stuff in the bag it straightened up nicely and stays standing (see pic).I absolutely LOVE my bag and am thinking of getting the Wine colored one soon. Pictures do not do this bag any justice. It has a deep orange and brown color that's just beautiful and not as bright in person. The leather feels soft and is shiny without looking "fake". It matches my wallet perfectly as you can see in the pic and I am so happy with it! My sister loves hers as well and will be using it for school too. The shipping was fast and on time which I am so glad for because I could not wait to receive this bag! Definitely would recommend this bag to anyone looking for something nice and economically priced!

Beautiful, is the third bag from the same brand and always great surprise! Great material, perfect for laptop, is a heavy bag but since the structure is necessary for the purpose to carry a book/ laptop !

Very nice and real leather. If you’re looking for leather, this is it. No fancy brand, but high quality leather!

This is a very nice tote. I purchased it in black and it’s big, but not overwhelmingly large. I wanted to be able to tote a laptop in it, as needed, but it’s not quite large enough for the one I have, and that’s ok; my shoulders don’t need the added weight. The things I like:1. Size is good. I also like the shape, which is more narrow and deep (north-south) rather than wide and shorter (east-west).2. The material is supposed to be leather, and it looks and feels like leather. It’s very shiny and pretty.3. Sturdiness. It stands up on its own without collapsing, but it’s not rigid.4. It’s not too heavy. Even with a lot of items, the weight is manageable, and not uncomfortable.5. The straps are thin and adjustable, but not so thin that they dig into your shoulder. They also don’t slip off your shoulder.6. I appreciate the top zipper. I have it zipped in the car, so if it falls over, the contents don’t spill out. I also like that since I can adjust the straps and keep it up higher against my body, I don’t feel the need to keep it zipped up all the time, because it’s safely tucked under my arm.7. Cell phone and small interior front and back pockets. The two slip pockets for a phone and other small item are great. I don’t use the back interior pocket, but I do use the back exterior pocket for my keys. No digging around for them inside the bag.The things that I don’t like are:1. The center zip pocket because it gets in the way and it’s easy to lose things under it when it folds down. I think using the center pocket would be a hassle because the pocket is slouchy.2. The dark interior. I knew the interior was dark as shown in the pictures, but I didn’t realize how difficult it would be at times to find things once they were in the bag. It’s a black hole and finding some of my smaller pouches in the deep tote can be challenging. If you don’t use pouches and leave stuff loose, those items will be hard to find. I understand that lighter colored lining can soil more quickly, but a red or brighter colored lining would’ve been preferable to the dark brown.3. That smell. I’ve been using the bag for a week and the interior still has that fishy, chemically odor. I tried airing it out and putting a little sachet in it, but the smell is still there. It’s not as stinky as it was originally, but I can still smell it and it is a lot stronger and has lasted longer than expected.Overall, I think this tote is a great buy.

I am updating my review. The longer I have this bag the more I like it. It wearing really well, although the straps are tiny, it holds a lot of weight. It has a divider inside with a zipped pocket. It also has two pockets of business card size and another zipped pocket. It also has an outside pocket for a cell phone or CC. Something you want to be able to grab quickly. The body also zips close so nothing will fall out if you use it. I seldom do.Originally, when I bought it, I thought the finish might be a little shinier than the picture depicted and I might be uncomfortable with it, but when I got it, I fell in love with it and was actually online tonight to see what other colors it came in to possibly order one in another color. It is a great bag! Lots of space for those of you who are pack rats. I try not to but I have crammed a lot into it when I've had to and it holds it all very well.People seemed worried about it tipping over but depending on what you put in there and how you pack it, it should sit up just fine. It has a nice flat bottom. If there was one thing I'd improve it would be the width of the straps. For the size of the overall bag they are a little thin, but that doesn't seem to make any difference in how well it works when I carry heavy things in it. I've had mine 3 mos and it looks brand new too.
