VISCONTIOwen Distressed Leather Messenger Shoulder Bag Handbag, Brown, One Size

Lovely presentation, and an amazingly fine finish. Great materials, great real new leather smell, lots of cute little details, including the packing bag and a few little metal details.My only wish for this to be perfect would be that it could be expanded some more in the middle. If I put my eyeglass case, iPhone 6 Plus (in case), wallet, and iPad inside, it all feels cramped and tight. However, it all fits, and the zipper closes.The one thing I really don't understand nor like, is the zippered laterally-opening pocket in front. It is very easy to open this zipper unnoticed, so this is an extremely insecure pocket. A flap closure with a pressure or magnetic lock of some sort would have been more useful in that position. It's still useful, but can't carry any valuables there.

I have been carrying a man bag for over 25 years and this is probably my 4th or 5th leather bag. I just could not be more pleased with my new Visconti bag. The leather is top notch quality and the stitching all over the bag is really professionally done. The bag is made out of stiff leather rather than a real soft so it holds it shape. I have already tried my IPad which is in a leather holder and it fit comfortably in the main compartment and also in the open pocket in the front. I use the side ways compartment with a zipper on the front to store my sun glasses and the case fits just fine.The only drawback is that the bag is a bit narrow, however, I knew that before I bought it and there are some pluses. For one, the bag lays comfortably against my hip and does not get in the way. Second, the way the strap is attached to the bag it causes the bag to also hug your body. I carry the bag cross body at all times. And, even though it is a bit narrow, I am able to fit a bottle of water in the main compartment (which I carry all of the time), and all of my other items fit with room to spare. There are zippered compartments in the front, the back, the main compartment, and a zippered pocket in-side the main compartment. There is a holder for a cell phone and another item in the main compartment.The bag looks manly and has a rich feel to it. I am looking forward to years of use from this new bag.

Perfect for what I was looking for. Very masculine; with well thought out zipper pockets and interior space. Fits cell phone, my Kindle DX (same size as a tablet computer) and many other of my necessary things with no problem (and room to spare) and without being bulky looking. Totally a Goldilocks size bag...not too big - not too small. Super sturdy oversized zippers and leather/nylon backed strap. I would classify the color as faded dark grey or faded light black. It cost more than the other bags in its class but you get what you pay for and this is worth it. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Second “Murse” I’ve bought for my husband. He owned the first one (same brand) for over 5 years. Was starting to get worn and unfortunately the zipper broke. He uses this bag every day and loves it. The newer version seems to have more room, and one of the inside pockets has been made bigger to hold his iPhone 7 Plus perfectly. The leather is quality, and wears very nicely. Lots of pockets inside and out. There are cheaper bags on Amazon, but for the quality, size and style, this bag beats them all. My husband wears his over the shoulder and he is 6’2”. The bag falls nicely just below his waist.

Already have a lot of functional bags and wanted something that looked good. Thought this was a little pricey but figured I'd return it if it wasn't as nice as the pictures. Pictures do not do this justice. This is one great looking bag! Flawless stitching and awesome attention to details scream quality quality quality. Leather is soft yet holds its shape well. Looks of pockets for organization and I especially like the open pocket on the front which is perfect for sunglasses or keys or both. I have Timbuk2, Chrome, Fossil and a few other bags but this will be my everyday bag for a long time.

This is a great bag. The bag is well made, exterior is a really soft leather. Interior has nice fabric with great stitching. I can fit my Note 10.1" perfectly inside with the case still on and leaving room for other items like my cell and camera. Long gone are the days where men cannot have fashionable bags with the fear of seeming feminine. My wife did not think she would like it at first but when I ordered and showed it to her she was all for it. Do not be afraid of losing your manhood. This bag functions well and keeps the rugged look of having an animal skin strapped to your side.

While I like the size and functionality, the bag is terrible for my light colored clothes. It leaves black rub marks on my left side as I sling it over my right shoulder.

Classy and Functional.This bag is a gem and exceeded my expectations. I'm a frequent traveler and needed something to take the load off my poor pockets. The bag easily accommodated my ipad Air 2 + it's case, passport, keys, iphone, charger, etc etc. There are lots of zippered compartments and thankfully an open pouch on one side for instant access to boarding pass and id without having to dig into the secure pockets. A handsome piece of luggage and very easy on the eye.

GREAT ITEM

Just what I was looking for. Not too big, not too small. Well made, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed. Supple leather. High quality zippers and pull tabs. Large enough to hold a water bottle, iPad mini, sunglasses, and cell phone, with room to spare for other small items. Comfortable, adjustable, strap that lies flat against the body. Perfect for day trips and air flights. Should provide many years of service. I do wish it had pockets for a pen and ID.
