AugusAugus Leather Briefcase for Men Business Travel Messenger Bags 15.6 Inch Laptop Bag

So I got this bag during the whole COVID quarantines because, well, I needed a nice professional bag rather than a backpack. I bought three different leather bags, all pretty similar in size and features, but out of the lot of them the Angus was the best by far.I'll start with the material:The leather looks great, has a nice sheen like a good pair of shoes and the material is thick.The inner material is great, no rips, no tears, no bad stitching- it was awesome and I inspected the entire thing to make sure.The handles are very durable and aren't too thick (like a lot of other bags) so it's easily carried like a briefcase if you aren't shouldering it. Speaking of which, the shoulder strap is the same leather as the bag and it comes with a little shoulder pad (I took it off because I prefer not to use them).As for being modern-day friendly:The compartments are large enough to store big laptops, tablets etc. I travel for work and I have a Alienware Area 51m that I bring everywhere-- if you don't know, that AW A51m is basically a "mobile desktop" laptop, it's enormous. Along with that I keep my phone, my iPad, any large/small documents I may need etc. and I haven't even come close to filling it up.Anyway, I wasn't paid or discounted for this review or anything- I just wanted to come on here and help out a good company selling a good product that I'm extremely happy with.

First, I must state that I rarely write an in-depth review...only when something really stands out (good or bad). In this case, it is the former. I am absolutely amazed at the high level of product packaging, design, functionality, quality, and anticipated durability.As seen in other reviews, the bag arrived in 'Apple-like' fashion, with a ton of thought placed on the presentation and experience of opening a quality item. The bag arrived in three purposeful layers of packaging: a nice plastic bag wrap to prevent mold/scratches, etc., then a beautiful black cloth outer bag for gifting/scratch prevention, and then a first class, Augus-labeled, jet black bubble wrap for added protection during shipping -- upon unpacking, I was sure that Amazon made a mistake and sent me a $600 bag. Love this attention to the details!As for the bag itself, the leather has the perfect thickness and stiffness to provide protection for laptops without too much weight. Hardware is very nice and robust with shoulder strap clips that are quick release, but with a lot of metal overlap to prevent accidental unclipping. Zippers feel robust and have very nice riveted and sewn leather pulls. The interior lining is nicely done with excellent stitching and a very finished look. The design layout of pockets, pen holder, card holder, pockets, etc. is intuitive -- obviously designed by someone who travels extensively. In truthfulness, I just received so I can only anticipate the durability; however, I've flown well over a million miles with everything from $10 duffle bags, to a variety of briefcases and messenger bags, to the standard Wenger backpack that you see the high-milers use on almost every international flight -- that said, I know enough about what works and doesn't to have a really good feeling how this bag will perform. I'm so confident in the Augus, I'm leaving the Wenger at home (permanently) and this will be my new daily bag as well as travel bag.I stand by the review title -- BUY ONE OF THESE NOW, because its worth 3x the price. Very well done Augus...you've earned my future bag business as well as recommendations to others.Augus, I do have one marketing suggestion: I encourage you to stamp (or tag) the bags with your 'Augus' brand. You have a great product that I am confident your customers will want to exhibit and proudly share your brand name.

I just received the Augus Leather Briefcase.The product was extremely well packed, and received within a day or two using PRIME. Upon opening the box, the briefcase was packed in a nice labeled "Augus", outer protective covering, within which was another attractive labeled "Augus" bag with a drawstring.The bag is beautiful! If it is not genuine leather, it sure looks like it! The bag is quite light, though appears sturdy and stands on its own with supplies in it. It has numerous places to place your tablet, cell phone, and accessories. I'm so excited that I purchased it! It fits a 15 inch laptop with some wiggle room to spare (not too much).I will follow up on durability and sturdiness once it is in use.

The look and finish to the briefcase are first class. it's got a lot more pockets and sections than I will ever use, but is perfect for what I want. When I get to travel again this will be fabulous, but in the meantimeI will enjoy using it, even if its just going from the lounge room to the office room

Very handsome briefcase. It's sturdy and has plenty of room and compartments.
