I'm going to be grumpy here too.. for a $480 bag ($450 on their website) I've got to know where the leather is from and where/by whom it is constructed.
The aesthetic is great, so if you point me to some small time tannery and constructed by skilled workers.. i'd buy one and another as a gift. Otherwise I have to assume the answers to those questions are China =(
DanielleYou'd think they would make that a big selling point on their website if it were true, yet if you look at this bag on their site, no mention of where it is made at all.
What are the odds of getting a messenger in which you can actually fit a standard 15" laptop? Sorry, don't mean to be a grump but I've been on the lookout for a messenger bag for a while now and I really like this one. Unfortunately a MacBook Pro is too big for this bag.
Where are these bags made? It doesn't say anywhere on their website, which means probably in China, which means these bags are worthless.
VERY surprised that this bag was picked over all others in the drop. In fact I have a hard time believing it is true.
EDIT - found it in the FAQ, VERY vague, meaning all bags are NOT made in the USA. Overpriced by far considering they are not made in the usa. If this bag was made in the USA that would be a highlight for the product on their website. The fact that they hide where it was made is a very bad sign.
