Beautiful bag. Too big to be functional.

The bag is beautiful & well made. I didn’t pay close enough attention to measurements, which is my fault, but the bag is huge. It doesn’t make sense for a messenger bag to be this large. It’s extremely heavy. I bought it for my son to carry his laptop & supplies at college but in person it looks like an awkward piece of luggage. I can’t think of why a person would want a messenger style bag this large, I am really disappointed.

Thank you for your honest feedback and we're so glad you think the bag is beautiful and well made! You're right, our Sitka bag is definitely on the larger side. It's intentionally designed that way for customers who need to carry quite a bit, including oversized laptops, textbooks, and gear for work or travel. We completely understand that this size doesn’t suit everyone, especially if you were looking for a more compact messenger for everyday college use. If the bag is still new and unused, and within our return window, we'd love to help you out with an exchage. Please reach out to our support team at support@kodiakleather.com.

This was a great experience from order to delivery even when I dropped the ball in ordering. The bag itself is amazing.

Feedback

When I opened the package containing my new briefcase, I was moved by the smell of the rich leather. Intoxicating! The briefcase was everything I expected---plus more. I know I'll enjoy it for the rest of my days!
