LEABAGS Oxford genuine buffalo leather messenger bag in vintage style

This is the second bag I have returned, clearly, I am not getting the hand-finished that I was paying for at this cost. The rest of the bag was well made, however, the strap was stitched uneven and leather cut at an angle. And falling apart before I've used it. Might be better to look for a different option.

(Mrs O is reviewing)I bought this for my partner as a 40th gift (he wanted a nice bag) and was crossing my fingers that the quality would be sufficient. I was not disappointed. I feel that the price accurately reflects the quality. It looks like a £180 bag and I probably would have paid that for it, had it not been on sale for £60 less.Obviously he hasn't had it for very long, so it has not been time tested, but on inspection, everything is well made and carefully considered. There are plenty of pockets and compartments for storage, the leather strap is backed with with canvas webbing. (useful, as many of the bags I looked at had problems with leather treatment/dye rubbing off on clothing) and there is a zip closure as well as magnetic clasps to keep it shut.The strap can be shortened to half the length as nothing prevents the buckle from moving along it.It was bought as a work bag and is big enough to to fit a 15" laptop and A4 clipboard as well as other items. (Though it's not a laptop bag so I don't know if you could expect the straps to take the strain of one, daily.) In my opinion it's an excellent quality, beautiful, but very functional bag that I expect to look better with age, and to last. No doubt I will update if this is not the case.I feel the one star review is unfair, given that there is no comment on the actual bag. It makes an impressive gift and Mr O loves it, which is obviously the most important thing. No regrets.(Dvd and 6'2" man included in photos for scale.)(In case anyone wonders about my purchasing ability, my family own a designer handbag/accessories boutique. I'm not a noob.)

This is a fantastic bag, beautifully made and exuding quality throughout. The company are also top class and I really appreciated the personal email they sent to me after I had ordered the bag from Amazon.I ordered the nutmeg leather Oxford messenger bag. The leather is beautiful and already 'vintage' looking as promised. It is also a perfect size for what I needed; not for a laptop but a daily work and weekend leisure bag. There is fine attention to detail right down to the lining and stitching.Just perfect.

This is exactly what I was looking for, the leather, the smell everything about is just really nice and well made. I've been using it daily for a few months and its been perfect, even in the rain. Occasionally I've carried 13in laptop, which it easily copes with but its a little uncomfortable with a 15in (but what isn't).

I needed a bag for work to take my MacBook, charger, etc. Initially I went for a main brand laptop bag which I promptly returned. After a bit of searching, I found Leabags. It was a great purchase for the price point. It has the quality, looks and all the storage compartments you would need for a laptop/work bag.

Beautiful quality soft leather. This was a gift last Christmas and after a year it’s still in perfect condition, just starting to take on a bit of character. All stitching has lasted well despite being used daily.A really good quality item. Well worth the price tag.

It's a great bag!Big enough to fit my school books in (two A4 refill pads, two A4 textbooks, 13" laptop and a pencil case) with enough room to squeeze in a water bottle or lunch too.Lots of pockets for all your needs: a zip pocket on back, a magnetic button-catch pocket on back, then underneat flap you have another zipped pocket so you won't be short of places to put loose ends of paper!Feels really high quality and I'm a good few months of daily heavy usage, and nothing bad to show for it! 10/10 would recommend to any student - but works well as a day bag for the odd day out as well :)

It's a really nice, quality bag that is easily worth the price, great leather that smells fantastic, a slightly thicker strap would have made it perfect but this is a very minor point and isn't an issue.
