More scratch up than I thought it would be.

Store owner replied: Hi Adrian, Thanks for sharing your photo and your honest feedback. This bag is made from crazy horse leather, which is oiled so it marks easily and shows scuffs from the start. It's part of how this leather looks and ages, but I understand it can be a surprise if you expected a smoother finish. Most scuffs fade or blend in with a little rubbing from your fingers or a soft cloth, since the warmth helps the oils move back into the leather. Over time it develops a richer, more even patina. If you'd like to chat about it, just reply to your order email and I'll be glad to help. Gitte, James Leather
SHIP MY ORDER! This make me think I will never us you again.

My wife and I travel out of the country a few times every year and since we both have medications that we have to take with us and vitamins plus cellphones and chargers not even including cameras I find this Sling Bag to be extremely convenient. The other Sling Bags I have bought always seem to be to small. Now I carry the bulk in the Sling Bag and my wife carries her small purse for her stuff. This Sling Bag definitely looks and functions impressively! If I ever need to get another one I would definitely order from your company again. Its large soft and comfortable.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much! We're thrilled you love the design and craftsmanship. Enjoy your bag!
This bag is top notch. I found it very adjustable. I do prefer the finish / color of the Zapopan Messenger Bag but this one fits my frame a bit better. I will use both and they each have their uses. The only complaint (very minor) is that it could use a padded shoulder strap - something the design team can consider for future revision. Same with the Zapopan Messenger Bag - not a deal breaker, just something to consider.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! We're glad to hear the bag fits your frame well and that you'll be using both styles. We appreciate your suggestion about the padded shoulder strap—that’s definitely something our design team can take into account for future improvements. Enjoy your bags, and thanks again for your support!
On the ready , grab and go

I only ordered one bag at first because I had never heard of this company. After receiving it, I ordered a second one for a Christmas gift. The leather is excellent quality and I enjoy it.

I love it ! Holds everything that can fall out of pockets
Michael H. 5/5 Verified
Bought this bag for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it! So versatile and goes well with athletic leisure as well as a great business casual look. The quality and size is also amazing. 10/10 recommended!
Lindsey B. 5/5 Verified
Although it looks as though it will serve my needs well, I haven't had a chance to put it to use yet. Unfortunately, the bag was packed very tight and flat into its shipping container and needs to be stuffed with towels or newspaper and dresses with some softening agent to regain its intended shape first.

Very nice sling pack. Holds an eight inch tablet nicely. If the zipper went a little higher it would hold my ten inch tablet, too, but it doesn't quite get there. However, it is Schnauzer approved, so we're good.

I bought this for my son…prior to traveling to Europe. He absolutely loves it and gets many compliments on it. High quality leather and substantial build. Very rugged but classy at the same time!

Calvin E. 5/5 Verified
I am used to getting designer hand bags. Now with having two kids I need my hands to hold other things. This bag is so light and it has more room then what I had thought. I get so many compliments on it. I was skeptical at first cause I thought it was for guys. But that is so untrue. I have been using this for everyday use. Even while on a horse it stays in place and perfect size. The shipping was super quick. I ordered it on a tue and it was here by Thursday!
Amanda R. 5/5 Verified
This little beauty is my second purchase. Surprisingly fits more than you think in it. In addition just slings over your shoulder very comfortably. Top quality Zipper’s & nice thick soft juicy leather. Probably out last me.
Grant H. 5/5 Verified
My bag is perfect for what I ordered it for. I use it while hunting for thing like my flashlight, knives, sent bombs, snacks etc. i will definitely buy another one as a gift for someone else.

First bag had a defective magnetic catch. Support was fast and responsive. New bag sent. No fee. Perfect. Bag itself is a bit small for what I need. It’s very hard to judge online because of the way different companies measure. Love the leather. Love the bag. Love the service.
Kenneth B. 5/5 Verified
Store owner replied: Thank you, Kenneth! I'm sorry about the catch on the first bag, and I'm glad we could get a replacement to you quickly. I appreciate your feedback about the size, and your kind words about the leather and service mean a lot.
