I like this bag a lot

I like this bag a lot, it is high quality, has a nice smaller pouch inside for your computer or camera or something else in need of protection, and the size is good. Good strap, good zippers.  It also has velcro straps inside to hold the coiled hoses in place.  I also packed the extra space in there with clothes to add padding and maximize suitcase space.  Nice.

I really like this bag. First of all, I thought the leather would be thin and flimsy. When I received the bag I was pleasantly pleased to find that the leather is thick and feels substantial. Yay! I love the pocket on each side, good for cell phone and lip gloss or even keys. Cannot fit all of those things in the small pockets on the outside but that is what the large interior is for. Do wish the inside had a zippered divider so there were more organization, but that doesn't bug me too much. The long strap for cross body is fabric, not impressed with that but the handles on the bag are leather and are more than long enough to slip over my shoulder. The color is an off-white, which is perfect since I've found pure white bags get yellow and dingy after a few seasons.
Love it, my first Sak bag and I am very happy.

This is a good bag.  I traveled a few countries last months and it gave me a lot of convenience.

After deliberating on purchasing this for awhile, I am happy with this bag.  It is made very well and seems like it will be sturdy and hold up to the beating of daily use.  The black is really a very dark gray-black; some of the color has seemed to rub off where it brushes against my body while wearing, but that is the nature of canvas I guess and it doesn't bother me at all.  I have a tendency to use very large bags and over-stuff them to the point of being cumbersome, so I bought this bag to limit the amount of crap I could carry with me on a daily basis.  I think the larger bag is a perfect size; you can cram an A4 notebook in there if needed, and still have room for an A5 or two.  I also love the zippered flap pockets on the exterior, which makes it super easy to access essentials like keys or cash or a pen without having to dig through the main compartment.  The strap, at its shortest, makes it easy to grab and go and fit comfortably under the arm, or you can extend it for cross-body wear if you'll be walking around for awhile.  This bag is pretty much exactly what I was looking for: just big enough but not so big that it ends up weighing 40 pounds.

I really like this bag a lot. My favorite parts are how tall it is to fit my full size shaker cups, the storage on the top, and the color. It only comes with 3 containers so buying extra containers is definitely essential. The top part has a lot of storage which I really like. The one compliant I have about this bag is that it only has the zip on the side to access the large portion of the bag. Some of the other bags have the option of zipping along the top to allow for easier access to place and remove your containers.

I really like this bag.  It is well made and comfortable as a sling bag.  The only reason it's 4 start instead of 5 is the front flap.  I would actually prefer the bag without this type of flap, as it does not always fall into place.  Even so, I like the look and it is a very roomy bag without being too big.

For a bag that looks small it can carry a lot of the things I need and I love it!

This has been a really wonderful bag for me so far. I purchased it with the intent of changing from a regular purse to a larger messenger bag (for the ability to carry more with me in an organized way, rather than just a giant purse). After much deliberation, I landed on the Cotopaxi Kpong Satchel.

My top favorite characteristic of this bag is the appearance. It is a very classic, attractive bag that is neither too sporty nor too fancy. I went with the navy blue color, and I think it looks fantastic with the gray straps and brown leather accents.

This bag is interesting in part due to the front flap not actually opening into the rest of the bag. The front flap only reveals a small zippered pocket and three pen pockets. On the front of the flap, there is a lower zipper (which gives you access to a low, wide pocket - where I tend to stow my phone and keys), and the upper zipper gets you in to the main compartment of the bag. This is an interesting design choice, and while I may have originally preferred that the flap actually open into the bag (like any typical bag does, right?), I think this way works just fine for me now that I am used to it.

There were limited pictures of the interior of this bag when I was shopping for it (particularly on Cotopaxi's website), so I was pleasantly surprised to find that the interior even has a pocket/holder on the side for a water bottle. This is majorly appreciated. Beyond that, the interior of the main compartment has just one pocket (to the back of the compartment/bag), and the rest of it is open. I would have preferred a bit more organizational ability within the main compartment of this bag. However, I did find a small purse organizer with pockets for some of my small items, so that fulfills that need for me.

The other compartment in this bag is the zippered area on the back of the bag, presumably intended for a small-ish laptop or tablet. Thus far for me, I manage to stick a couple of books and some papers in there to keep them from getting crushed or wrinkled, so that's a good use of the pouch for me.

Beyond that, I am pleased that there is a handle on the top of the bag (instead of only having the long strap). The zippers are great and always easy to slide open and closed. The overall craftsmanship of the bag is beautiful, and I am very very pleased with the bag. It is very comfortable for me to wear, as well.

Note that the bag is water resistant but not entirely waterproof. I was caught in a rainstorm and had to walk several minutes in the downpouring rain with the bag fully exposed to the rain. While nothing inside got wet and nothing leaked, The bag's outer was thoroughly soaked and I could feel a slight dampness on the inside of the canvas (but again, no actual leaks and no actual problems, just something to be aware of should you have anything that is particularly sensitive to potential moisture).

I really like this bag. Yes, it has an odor that eventually goes away.

I love this bag. I tend to carry too much stuff so this bag limits me to an IPad, 3 folders, my purse, makeup bag, hat, scarf, 2 thick paperback books, & other nix-nax. Oh and the two side pockets are great. The bag fits comfortable on your back and looks neat & professional.

I like this bag very much.  The leather is a bit thin for my taste.  I have been carrying this bag for over a month now and its starting to take on a beautifully richer tone.  I find it to be a bit clunky to get into, but the more I use it the better I become.  The chemical smell was horrid, however, the smell went away overnight.  I have no problem putting my 17' laptop in the bag.

Shipping was lengthy, but worth the wait.  Nice bag!

This is a very nice bag -- and I'm happy with it, in general. The style is chic and the leather is soft to the touch -- very pleasing.  It is a good, functional size and I love that it's lighter weight than some leather bags can be.  At the end of the day, it's a comfortable bag to carry, as well as a stylish one.  I am not 100% thrilled with the quilting, however.  This is a very subjective point, I realize, but I had expected the quilting (which I liked from the photo) to be more subtle than the puffy little pillows that cover the bag's surface. It's very 3-dimensional.  Some people might prefer that tactile quality, but I'd rather it be a little less pronounced.  This is not a deal breaker by any means, just worth noting. . . .
