This doesn't seem like a good deal at all. Their website doesn't list this bag model, but all their other 15inch bags are around $150. There's no way the MSRP is $233
It's justified by the leather strap, which is sold on site for another 70 bucks, though 70 for the strap is outrageous. Their site not listing this bag bothers me.

Stefan"Both a cotton and leather shoulder strap +$70"<br />"All Leather - Matching Shoulder Strap +$58"<br /><br />So, as this listing suggests a leather strap, it's +$58 for the matching leather shoulder strap. At any rate, their current lineup, even with a "retired" design would be about $208 tops. I'm not gonna say it's a ripoff, because it's obviously a quality bag.<br /><br />It's just dishonest to list an MSRP that's not the actual MSRP. But, if we compare apples to apples, a current bag at ~$150 + $58, this is still a good price as long as it has the leather shoulder strap, and a handmade product is gonna cost just because we're paying the actual value of product+labour, instead of cheap material+chinese factory labour.
@Frankstick, the MSRP was right the first time this drop ran. Looks like CRB has actually lowered prices somewhat since then. For example, the leather strap alone was $70 the first time around.
