This cannot be leather
I have had this bag for less than a month and it looks like junk. It looks scratched-real leather doesn’t wear this way. This bag is junk. It is also very awkward on the shoulder. Do not buy!

Perfect bag to travel with
I bought this bag specifically for traveling so I have a big enough bag as a personal item bag to go with my hand carry luggage. It is pretty lightweight and I love that it has a zipper to keep the items intact when going through security. One cool feature of the bag is that it has a water bottle "holder" inside to keep the bottle upright. I just wish it has 2 (instead of 1) compartment inside the bag to hold smaller items. Overall, this is a great buy for its classic look, leather quality and price.

annoying straps
Straps don’t stay on your shoulder very well & are uncomfortable.
