This bag is very nice. Quality build. Only four stars though because I feel like the zipper may break if pulled from an off direction, but I feel like in this price range, that can be expected. Would not consider the "possibility" a deal breaker though. If you're lookin for a quality gym back, in the $35 range, you've found it!

Purchased this bag last month and it's great!!

Pros:
-quality materials. The leather looks rich, the interior pockets are lined, and the stitching looks great.
-the shoulder strap is more than a piece of raw leather.  Looked at a couple of bags when I purchased this one and some only had a piece of raw leather. This strap is thick, adjustable and seems like it will hold up to usage. It's also long enough to hit at the hip for tall girls.
-lots of pockets. Love the pockets for organization but this one is also a con. There are two outside pockets, a zippered compartment, an inner zippered compartment, a large open area, two small open pockets... Plenty of options, maybe too many if I'm in a hurry and can't find something.
-magnet closure. I have been surprised how much I like this. It's more convenient than a zipper or buckle closure but still has the visual interest of the buckle.
-overall, it's a pretty purse. Simple, classic design that is super functional.

Cons:
-no key chain holder. Many other high-end bags have a key chain holder and this bag regrettably does not have one.  I really like the key chain holder for easily finding keys and keeping them secure.
-it's wide. This one is partially good, partially bad.  Yes, this bag can hold a lot but that also means it's wide. Wish it collapsed to something skinnier but I guess that means the leather also wouldn't look as good.
-lots of pockets. This is also a pro. Love the pockets for organization but how many is too many?
-bag is a little heavy, even empty. I was looking for something easier to carry during the summer. Like the cross body strap to help distribute weight. Quality materials weigh more so if you're looking for something super lightweight, look at the details carefully.

This is a beautiful bag.  I get compliments on it. Very nice quality and spacious.  Appears to all be leather.  Interior is dark brown.  has all of the compartments I need without looking massive.  Love the dark hardware, too.

This is a high-quality, attractive bag. The zippers seem sturdy. There is not a lot of room for expansion, but the two side pockets will fit a power supply and mouse. The third pocket, zippered, on the front, has room for pens and business cards. The pouches in it are rather small but still useful. The well-padded lining of the interior where the laptop is stored is soft and very nicely made. I never use the shoulder strap, but it is also good looking.

Very nice quality bag.  The material is heavy canvas and all zippers are metal.  Stitches are very well done and the color is one that goes well with jeans.  I have attached a few pictures that show the front, back, and inside.  The inside has three zippers: the main zipper that closes the bag, and two more that zip pockets on the same side.  There is a lot of fabric that folds over the front above the zipper, but if necessary, one can place a long item without zipping the bag and still have coverage (think of a tennis racket, a small towel, and a bottle of water).

The bag itself weighs 1.5 lbs.  I also measured the distance between the center of the shoulder strap straight down to the center of the bag, that's 17 inches.  So for a shorty like me (5'3") the bag sits around the hip going down to just below my mid thigh - perfect!

Like most if not all Maxpedition products, this Larkspur bag is made from great quality materials. The stitching seems quite stout and looks as if it will hold up to the daily wear and tear that these kinds of bags are put through. The bag's dimensions are well-suited for carrying either of my larger laptop computers with plenty of room for other ancillary gear and, well, 'stuff'. The bag's main flap has a double-pull upper zipper that can be used to quickly access the main compartment without having to undo the buckles of the flap itself, such as to emergency CCW access just like the comparable compartments found on Maxped's Versipack designs (the compartment is completely lined with loop material ready to accept Maxped's optional&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Universal-CCW-Holster/dp/B001DZT8BS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Universal CCW Holster</a>.

There are two smaller compartments under the main flap that can store any number of loose items, whether it be iPods, cellphones, pens, tools, supplies, first aid kit, extra magazines, knife or anything else one can dream up. There is also a zippered compartment on the underside of the flap that works well with flat items. And then there are two slender pouches on either end of the bag that seem well suited for storing longer items, like a flashlight or a multi-tool. All in all this bag looks to be a worthy pickup even with the silly-looking webbed waistband (like some of the Jumbo Versipack models have), and should easily manage my needs that I'll demand of it to take care of.

That all being said, it's not all perfect. Maxped supplies an ample length of webbing for the shoulder strap, in fact too much if you ask someone with the size and stature like myself. The problem is that Maxpedition didn't supply a satisfactory means to corral up the extra length of strap webbing that was left over after I made the adjustment to the shoulder strap length for comfortable and convenient wear on my person. As it is it just hangs loosely like some sort of OD green tail, where if I were any shorter it would actually be dragging on the ground. Yes I could have slid the supplied retaining buckle further down the strap to pick up the excess, but then I effectively end up creating a dual-webbed strap as a result that I invariably ALWAYS get the individual lengths tangled up with one another (just a personal curse, I suppose).

Instead of making myself look like some bedraggled simian that has a man purse-like appendage dipped in green paint or someone who looks like he'd have trouble tying his own shoelaces let alone being unable to straighten out a shoulder strap, I got into my stash of elastic bungee-type cord and made a makeshift gatherer to tie down the wayward length of webbing. Although the only cord I had was in black this do-it-yourself `rubber band' works reasonably well, though I think I would've preferred that Maxpedition had supplied a more `tactical' solution (akin to something you might find a better tac rifle slings).

For the money that this messenger bag cost I also do think that it should have come with a greater amount of protective padded lining in the sides of the carryall as well. This messenger bag costs more than Maxped's excellently padded and protective&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sliver-II-Rifle-Case/dp/B002XLLBLG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sliver-II Rifle Case</a>, yet for sensitive equipment like notebook or tablet computers it really provides only a minimal amount of tangible protection against impact. Last time I check, most guns are pretty solidly built and can stand up to a lot of abuse, hence for me the disconnect in the reasoning for the Larkspur's protective qualities--or more precisely, the lack thereof--just eludes logic.

Yet all quibbles aside, this Larkspur should otherwise do the job I'll demand of it quite well even if it's still just a tad shy of being perfect.

If you don't mind that it is "Hummer" branded, it seems to be quite a sturdy bag. I have only just received it today, so I don't know how long it will last, but the construction seems to be of pretty high quality. Plenty of storage for some paper folders/files, a portable hard drive or some other USB peripherals, some nice mesh pockets and a velcro pocket or two inside the smaller zipper compartment. Nice zippered area on the back for passing through straps to help to secure it well to your carry on luggage as well.
*Update-- well, Ive had it for a while, it's been on about 10 trips, and holds up well to daily use, still looks new.

Nice bag.plenty of space..looks good.i don't like the way you have to strap it down to lights. It would also be better if it had a tie down on the bottom from side to side to hold onto luggage rack.that would be alot more secure.its still a good bag and alot less than others of the same quality and sizes.
