Great full grain backpack for the price.
Price is really good for a full grain backpack. For a full grain backpack, it does feel a bit thin. Can fit a 16 inch MacBook Pro.

Functional if not terribly attractive
This is a handy, functional backpack. It is pretty minimalist, but does a good job of carrying daily essentials without looking like a grade school student. I just wish the leather was more “alive.” It’s a bit drab.

tldr: not full grain. Buyer beware. I didn't realise this until I met someone with the same bag... from a drop a few years ago. His is full-grain leather, mine is genuine leather but doesn't have a grain. It actually looks like corrected grain leather and is already beginning to show wear at the corners. Such a shame about the buying experience, because otherwise I love the weight and size of this bag.

Superb quality, misleading massdrop image
Bought the 'brown' one. And it's actually dark BROWN not at all like the image displayed here. Wish I had read other reviews before purchasing. However quality of the leather and craftsmanship seems superb. Would have rated 5+ stars if colour were within normal discrepancies due to image/monitor calibration. BUT you can find earlier reviews also complaining about colour, and noone at massdrop cared about changing the image?! So my rating is about massdrop, not knomo. Go for the black one - I don't think there can be much colour difference in black ;)

Durable
looks great, very minimalist, holds up well, comfortable too, I wish it had an outside water bottle compartment but that would make it look less sleek which I do appreciate.

Full-Grain Leather is the most durable and easy to maintain and condition
Bought the brown color. The patina is more obvious in this color, and gives that cherished character, the more you use it. This coordinates very well with my Tuscany-made full grain brown messenger bag I bought last year from a very knowledgeable but hot signorina leather trader from Loggia del Porcellino, in Firenze/Florence .

Good but could be great
Nicely designed and minimalist, yet roomy for organizing things. The brand label in the photo shows metallic logo, but the actual product has only an embossing on leather (not bad, but I liked the metal). One other thing I like about this bag is that it stands on its base without flopping over (even when i laptop is in there) - well designed for balance. My other backpacks either flop forward or fall behind when i leave it on my table or floor. PS: Having got the black, I wish I bought the brown one instead :-)

Fine product
The leather is beautiful, and styling is first rate. This is a really luxurious product, for the carrier and the carried alike.

Almost perfect laptop bag for office
I got the brown one. I've been looking for a full grain leather knapsack for some time. Simple lines, large enough to fit a 15" Macbook, but small enough to not be a hassle on the subway.
  1. It arrived packed in a box, wrapped in foam. Pieces of paper stuffed inside the back to ensure the shape, so the box was pretty big. But that meant that it arrived with no creases on the leather, and basically in great form.
  2. The colour was darker than what was in the pictures. Not sure it's just lighting because the grain also looks different.
  3. Leather quality is great. Very soft and feels thick and strong in the hand. Seemed a bit dry, but I rubbed it over with mink oil and a soft cloth, and it started to look a lot better. Good leather needs some TLC, so not unexpected.
  4. The inside is nicely finished. The laptop pocket fits my Macbook perfectly. Literally. No space for even a folder in the same slot with the laptop inside. So nothing moves. The 2nd pocket for a tablet not very useful - assumes the tablet has no case or cover. It's basically very thin. I use it to put papers only, and A4 size papers have to be folded into half to fit. Rest of the pockets (pens, etc.) are fine but not very secure. I put my spare glasses (in their case) in one of the pockets and it never stays. The lining is quite smooth.
  5. The straps are good and bad. Very nice to have one where there are no dangling ends, but the straps are not that ergonomic; can't compare to (for example) the Peak Design strap design.
  6. Overall, the size is exactly as I wanted. Fits the Mac, everything else and still looks good.
Advice for anybody buying it - get the mink oil (or other leather cream) and buff it up nicely before use. Helps a lot. I've been using it every day since I got it. No complaints.
