All Cotton Canvas Day Pack, with Genuine Leather Trim and 1970s Retro Styling, from "HDE"
931328
A nicely made cotton canvas Daypack with an early- 1970's styling. The straps and trim are actual genuine Leather, not PU.

I have this in the Dark Brown color, and it looks exactly like the Amazon photos except that the leather straps on mine are not the dark brown color in the photo, but a lighter Caramel/Palomino shade, closer to the Tan/Khaki version of the bag.

Lots of zippered pockets, plus bonus pockets inside the main bag for small items like keys. The zippers are an antiqued brass metal, and mine operate smoothly.

Workmanship, fabric and stitching are all fine. There is no sloppy stitching on this, even under close inspection.

The lightly padded shoulder straps are also cotton canvas, and comfortable.

This may be smaller than you may expect from the Amazon photos, so do pay attention to the spec's. I'm guessing mine is around a 20-25 Liter capacity, not counting the outside pockets which probably add up to another 2 or 3 Liters.

By contrast, a standard Jansport "Big Student" bag is 34 Liters.
So this HDE bag will accommodate a 13" laptop and a few medium sized books and a light windbreaker easily, but this is not designed to hold any huge amount of textbooks, 3 ring binders, etc.
Note: this is not designed to be your main travel bag; it's not large enough to handle a weekend's worth of clothes and toiletries, etc.

This would be a good 'purse alternative' for a girl, or possibly a 'masculine diaper bag' for a new Daddy.

Being cotton, it will gradually pick up smudges and signs of use.
Being canvas, it should last.
The darker Brown color is the more practical choice if you don't want the usual wear and tear to be visible.
It's not designed to be waterproof.

Sample furnished for testing and impartial consumer review. All in all I'm very pleased with this bag/daypack for casual knocking around town.
I like it. And I hope this is helpful as you comparison shop online.

Happy travels, everybody.

This pillowcase came folded in an interesting 70's retro-looking plastic bag under the brand Silky Sleep. The bag and tag say it's 100% bridal acetate satin and made in the USA. It's a little stiff feeling at first, but after washing it and hanging it to dry (it dries pretty fast), it was was softer.  The original creases from being folded so long are a little hard to iron out, but no real complaints, as my skin and hair are happy with it. The zipper works just fine.
Also, amused that the bag points out that it "Holds your coiffure during sleeping hours." Nice.

At such a reasonable price, it's hard not to love this bag.  With a variety of pockets and enclosures, it is easy to store a small laptop, papers, chargers, cables, pens, and so on.

The canvas and "PU Leather" (note that PU stands for "polyurethane") have a nice natural "rugged" look to them.  Both feel soft and well worn, in a nice way.

My wife, son, and I all agreed on the following point: the bag seems like it's something out of a Wes Anderson film.  That's a compliment by the way.  The retro look and feel, combined with the "DesertWolf" logo in the PU leather, adds a lot of character to the bag.  Note that this logo is different from what is currently shown on the Amazon product page.  My bag has a wolf's head and "DesertWolf".  Amazon's page shows a horse and "Manjiang Hong".

Canvas Vintage Backpack Men Rucksack Bookbag Leather, Black

What a nice book bag backpack. It is made of canvas and has leather straps and accents. It is available in an assortment of colors, mine is the black one. It has a very large main compartment that is revealed when you release the magnetic snaps and flip back the main flap. Inside are also pockets and places to hold pens and things. There are zippered pockets everywhere, you can store things in loads of places. The construction seems quite good and rugged, longevity is yet to be determined but stitching and parts are very good. This bag can hold a lot of stuff and an interior, Velcro secured pocket can hold a medium laptop or tablet. The shoulder straps are padded for comfort if used as a backpack. There is also a handle to carry it or hang it up. I'm happy with my new bag and am sure you will be too.

This product was provided at or nearly no cost for the purpose of evaluation and review.

the bag is well made and attractive.  Treated canvas and an image on the inside (reversable).
Not sure if the irony is lost on people, but a tote bag is the epitome of basic and affordable.  Think someone at Jack Spade missed this, and added a 0 to the price.

The "Divine Faded Stripe Boxer" from Diesel is a well-made, accurately-sized, and attractive trunk. Its 57% cotton and 38% polyester blend (with 5% Elastane) is generally quite comfortable and stays that way all day. My only quibble about the design is the seam placement in the back is somewhat prominent and, depending on your build, may not be optimally comfortable. Overall these are nicely made, are quite durable, and fit well.

This bag is a perfect summer neutral, leather is reasonably soft, the size is neither too small nor too large for every day.  I am pleased with the purchase because it is an  excellent value.  I have paid more for PVC and this is real leather.

So wonderful to find a "leather" bag made of actual, old-fashioned, non-processed (at least I think it is, or isn't) full-grain leather! Oh, and  to find such a bag NOT MADE IN CHINA! I have recently purchased other "leather" totes from another manufacturer/source to find that they smell chemical-like, or just gross. But this smells like the saddles and the good bags of my youth, and I am really pleased. I ordered the red, and I'm bummed because the photo made the red look more like cognac, or a browner red. This is a clear red, no bones about it, a little too happy and bright for me, though I'll give it a day or so to grow on me before making up my mind. Inside the bag, it's lined with a khaki cloth, light enough to be able to see what's inside. It's big enough for my chromebook, and the zipper on top makes it secure.
Update: After checking several Piel bags out, I found that the dark brown leather in this style was the most luxurious looking, and the leather the thickest. It seems Piel uses different types of leather for different bags.

I was surprised at how nice the Muzee backpack looked when I first got it in the mail. The bag is a full canvas pack with leather straps and suede zippers. It has a total of 4 zippers. The first zipper is for the main storage compartment, which itself contains a laptop pouch and a smaller zippered pocket. The laptop pouch provides a perfect fit for a ~13" laptop, such as a 13.3" MacBook Pro. The smaller zippered compartment will sit between your back and the laptop, so you'll only want to store flatter items here, such as your cell phone, passport, ID cards, etc. The remainder of this main compartment can easily fit several books, but who carries books anymore? I usually only put one book with my tablet.

The outer horizontal zipper reveals a deep pocket. I easily fit my Totes umbrella with plenty of room to spare. The vertical zipper shares a fabric wall with the previously mentioned pocket. Therefore, the space is somewhat shared between these two pockets. If you fill one up, it'll bulge into the other one. I keep a change of clothes here.

Although the bag is quite nice, it does lack some cushioning that's found on many other bags nowadays. For example, there is no cushioning in the laptop pouch area at all. If you travel with a laptop, you'll probably want a dedicated laptop case. The straps have some cushioning, but I feel they could have been a bit more generous with it. These seem minor to me though, as it still feels just fine on my shoulders.

In summary, it's a great canvas backpack with large, useful pockets, but could have benefited from some extra cushioning.

Of note, I received this product for free or at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. If you found this review helpful, please let me know.

A beautiful, rather boxy leather backpack.  The packaging was first class and nicer than a much more expensive competitor. Wonderful fabric and beautiful leather throughout and an excellent design (love the dual zippers throughout).  I am returning it because it is larger than I need, but I am very impressed by the Briggs & Riley brand and will shop them again.

I bought this as a present for my daughter. The jacket is made with various materials, wool being part of the shell. Ribbed elastic trim at the neck sleeves and waist areas. The lining is made of black nylon material. The zipper is small and has a zip tab attached. The colors are bright and true to the illustration. The finishing of the materials and stitching is a quality one. The design is modern but still carries a resemblance to the old time jackets.

I wanted real leather.  Not leather PU.  Not pleather.  This is the real thing.  It has aluminum supports at the edges, which makes for a sturdy case.  The back actually looks like a 50's era camera, and I like it.  It's slim enough to fit in the compartment of my clutch purse.  The cover folds back nicely.  It can shift a bit, due to the give in the leather hinge. Doesn't seem to be a problem, though I wonder how well it will wear after time. They really got the S-pen cutout right.  Plenty of room to remove it.  One gripe:  Why the advertising?  I bought it.  I don't care to be your signboard.  Remove the silver emblem at the bottom right corner.  Remove "Premium Leather & Stand Design" from the aluminum plate.  I'll even grant you the "TRYIT" on the stand hinge, since that's the brand name, and it's unobtrusive.  It's a classy-looking case which has been cheapened a bit with the advertising.  All in all, a satisfying product which could use a tweak.

Even though the description says "vinyl", the bag looked more cloth than anything in the picture... but, surprise, surprise, it actually looks like a worn leather.  The zipper front pocket was just the right size for my Verizon Motorola Droid and my daughter's Sprint HTC EVO Shift fits perfectly as well. The bag is big enough to fit your kindle and more... The flap has a zipper that opens to the inside of the purse, so if you fill it with something tall the flap will just stand up.  However, under the flap is another zipper, and this is the part we slid the Kindle into, so it closed over nicely, just like the picture.  This bag is a nice size, a good value, and an excellent purchase for my quasi-bohemian, college freshman daughter who needs crossover bags that are more convenient while also carrying a backpack.  She likes it very much.

This is a quality leather bag.  I usually do not prefer "tote bags" because they are somewhat too large, but this one is so comfortable and doesn't feel ridiculously large. It is made up of supple but sturdy leather. It has handy pockets on either side (the one on the backside zips, the one across the front of the bag runs almost the length of the bag.) The inside lining is a medium gray/brown fabric, so it is so much easier to see the contents of my purse.  It has a good size zipper pocket inside and two slip pockets as well.  I love that it is a zipper closure for the bag.  The hardware is gold, and while it is good quality, it is a very pale gold.  The print on the bag is very interesting.  Black handles, black background, with an almost antiqued silver snakeskin print.  Also a chain pattern in a greenish pewter.  It is unusual.  I know they make the same bag in a burgundy with different tones.  I wish they made this exact bag in lighter colors for spring/summer.  I would purchase in it in every color variation.
