Beautiful and UsefulJanuary 30, 2010 az(Virginia, USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This messenger bag is very high quality made of beautiful brown leather that will look even better with age. The shoulder strap and handle combination make it easier to carry than shoulder strap only bags. The bag has great detail. It's a good size - not too small to handle all of the stuff you need to carry around and not so big that you hurt your back lugging around too much stuff. Lots of room for a laptop, lots of pockets, compartments and pouches to organize all of your paraphernalia. It's easy open and close. It is an excellent value for the price it was offered for at Amazon.
nice bagDecember 23, 2009 Bill E. Kaczor 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
leather is soft, good quality; computer fits nicely and plenty of room for files as well. The only flaw in the design is the two zippers that run down the side which can be seen when open and closed. Otherwise very satisfied...
Beware of seller LUGGAGE ONLINEDecember 17, 2009 Debby 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I ordered this bag (Kenneth Cole Reaction Business and Luggage Columbian Leather Flapover Computer Case from Luggage Online because that's the first seller that showed up and much like the others I found out days later that my order had been canceled. I called them today to find out when it was going to ship because I had not received my shipping info email. The man on the phone looked up the order and told me it would be shipped today or tomorrow. A few hours later I got the email from Amazon letting me know it was canceled. Really? That guy couldn't just own up to it and tell me they made a mistake and that I should try to find it elsewhere?!? LUGGAGE ONLINE's credibility and professionalism is clearly dubious at best.
On a happier note I called Luggage Guru, who was listed as another seller, and they went above and beyond to find the item for me. They made sure that they had it in stock and when they found out they didn't have it in their warehouse they called the manufacturer and are going to have them send it to me directly. Thank you Luggage Guru...you have a new loyal customer!
"IN STOCK" but item is unavailableDecember 16, 2009 Noryne S. Reynolds(BC, MI) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Just ordered this item and never received any contact from seller about availability of item. It was only after I inquired on the delivery based on the schedule I was given did the seller respond that the item isn't available until February and they cancelled my order. WHEN WERE THEY GOING TO TELL ME THIS!!!!!!! This was suppose to ba a Christmas present and I have little time to try to find it elsewhere or order a substitution and hope that it is delivered on time.
Very sub parDecember 16, 2009 Justin Seiferth(Massachusetts) 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
I'd wanted a nice bag for a while and thought this would fit the bill. Don't be fooled by the big box, cloth holding bag and the description. I had expected something nicely made of tanned cowhide that would acquire a patina over the years- instead I received a disappointing commodity of thin, characterless, highly processed and dyed leather with a cheesy polyester lining, very tacky velcro and elastic fastener, zippers which are bound to break, "buckles" that are awkward and difficult to use and an item which I'm pretty sure will be lucky to last just a few years if that. It doesn't even smell like leather- there's just a faint chemical/plastic odor.
The cloth inside I can already tell would be worn and ripped within just a short while. It's thin and badly attached to the leather trim. None of the pockets or compartments inside are leather- just thin polyester with some sort of cheap vinyl or leather tacked onto the top border. The first few times you try to push your MontBlanc or Parker into one of the pen holders it's bound to rip given how flimsily the pockets are made. The interior is poorly thought out with inadequate and useless storage- no mouse pocket, etc. Nothing but a few pen and credit card holders. This is supposed to be a briefcase- not a wallet KC.
Oh- and "imported" means it's made in China. You're paying $200 bucks or more for something thrown together no better than the sleeve which came free with my netbook- seriously. If this is what the Kenneth Cole brand name has come to mean then I'm very, very disillusioned. This is not a well made piece of luggage- it's a piece of crap trading on what people have come to believe is a quality name. If you're looking for a computer bag you'll be better off getting something for 20 or 30 bucks made of canvas- it will last longer. I only gave it two stars cause it's actually made of leather and not vinyl; it wasn't worth the postage it took to return it- again- seriously. The thing was returned and I won't be looking at Kenneth Cole again.
