In the current political climate, has anyone been criticized or complimented for carrying this bag? Is the logo recognizable as Israeli?

I would cover it or otherwise remove or mask it unless one is pro Israel. Another 1000 acres of farmland annexed from the Palestinian West Bank recently.

The only time someone recognized the logo was when a veteran buddy of mine asked about the bag because he trained with the Israeli paratroopers. Said they were some of the best he had ever trained with. So I would imagine the only comments you would get on this bag would be positive because the only people who would actually know what it is are members of the Israeli Paratroopers, or veterans of the United States who worked directly with them.

i haven't worn it in a couple of weeks, since i didn't need it to carry my books anymore. when i was still using it on campus in june, no one said anything to me. i live in a small town. maybe other people have different experiences, but i wouldn't worry about it. if you like it, buy it.

Never had one person criticize the bag nor recognize it as an Israeli symbol,here in floroda it jist looks like a retro bag with a red eagle/ bird on it. Its just stylish no political eyebrow has been raised at all. Hope this helps you

If you know what an Israeli paratrooper bag looks like then this is an obvious and very good copy of it. But to answer your question more directly - I doubt many people will know what it is.

It's been a while since I received my bag but I don't recall anything offensive. If anything, there might have been a "new" product smell, but if there was, it quickly dissipated. I think if you aired it out, you will find whatever smell will go away and the product is very worthwhile. You'll be happy with it!

Not too sure, as we don't have these kind of binders here in Israel.First hunch, I will have to say no bearing in mind that the bag has a zipper and not a full sized cover...Hope this helps, Assaf

Logo for Carrying case is just an imprint on the leather, the size of a quarter. In my opinion, it's not too noticeable.

As a guy, I feel (and think) I look fine carrying this bag. It seems more sporty than anything. I am more than happy that I bought this bag and carry it around everywhere I go, just in case something picture worthy pops out. That being said, I still call it my murse. :)

I have been using the bag on regular basis and it's holding up really well. The leather looks more scuffed and used which adds to its personality and looks.

I would love to help you but they sent me the wrong item. They sent me a big, hand carry, square cargo bag instead. I was not pleased at all with that item since I really did want the paratrooper bag. I had so much trouble trying to return it I finally gave up. I wish you MUCH better luck!

Knockoff of what? K-Swiss? Maybe...Notice the spelling of the product; "American Shiled" ...Do the math- that being said, its a very good bag.

It's made in Israel, I used to buy this product because I really loved it, but when I realized it's made in Israel I stopped buying it (for political reasons).

Laura, I am sorry to say I'm not sure. I can tell you it was a great bag it lasted with hard use for quite some time... I recommend it highly. Sandy

Unsure which bag you are comparing to so difficult to compare for you. I can say, I have had this bag for about 8 months and am pleased with quality and functionality. I would make sure to purchase it filled!!! They pack bag correctly and evenly. I would even pay the extra to have them pack it!!

The individual bag has the circle with a K inside which I believe marks it as a kosher product.

I haven't had any issues with it. I love this bag. Holds everything I take with me and it was CHEAP...but not cheaply made!

While I don't have this particular Sachi bag, I do have one. My theory is that the little tag is the Sachi equivalent to the Coach tag. I could, of course, be wrong. I left mine showing thinking that folks would see it and realize that it was a lunch bag and not a purse.

The bag does not indicate a country of origin, but in researching them on the internet, they seem to be an Illinois-based company. Hope that helps...

I just flew with it from Houston via Frankfurt to Bulgaria(March 1st, 2013). That was my big concern as well, but in Houston the Lufthansa staff did not even mention the size of the bag. The bag is solid and looks like it will be my travel choice for a long-long time.
