I am extremely particular about bags as I worked in the leather trade many years ago. I know quality when I see it.
This is a beautiful rucksack with good quality leather and I cannot wait to see what happens to the leather after a few years. There is a strong zip to a deep inside pocket with a lovely green lining. Nothing feels like it is going to fall apart.
I used it straight after delivery and it isn't just practical, it's extremely stylish. I prefer it rolled over rather than folded over - it feels so vintage that way but folded over is lovely too!
I opted for gold initials which just gives it such a personal feel. I highly recommend you pay the small fee for this.
Delivery was bloody quick considering I asked for it to be personalised. Really lovely follow up e-mails too. It's always a pleasure to buy items from a company so passionate about what they do.
I would not say this is an expensive bag. It's a bag I intend to use forever and good value for what you are getting.
I think the item should not be called a men's roll-top bag because it's really unisex. Yes, it is not a small bag but ladies need to carry stuff to you know! It can really expand but folded over looks like a regular size rucksack.
My mum fell in love with if when she saw it, I may be making another purchase very soon.
If I had to change anything I would ask that there are more holes along the belt as I have a small back.
