Samsonite Classic Leather Slim Backpack

I ordered this backpack 3 years ago and use it heavily for work and travel. I decided to write a review because after using for multiple years, it is still in excellent condition. A sleek, classic piece, with subtle elegance. The leather is solid and supple, the zippers are smooth and sturdy and the interior is holding up perfectly with no flaws or signs of wear. There are multiple compartments and zippered storage areas in the bag that make it easy to keep organized and find items quickly.At the original time of purchase, I couldn’t decide between this bag or a Coach leather computer backpack, so I bought both. I haven’t bothered using the Coach bag. The quality is not as good as the Samsonite and the Coach does not have the storage capacity or compartments. Hopefully the quality and craftsmanship remains the same for those who purchase the 2025 model.

Looking for a leather bag (preferably brown) with enough compartments and one that looks good - hopefully with some structure.This backpack fills those criteria and then some.This was already a good product but they also added little features that no one knew to ask for but are just oh so good.The straps are comfortable and adjustable and have a guard of sorts to prevent them from slipping.It stands on its own. Let me say that again. It stands on its own - packed or unpacked. That's the kind of structure we are talking about. And even then, it does not feel as though there is a hard insert in the bag. It still feels supple and good as leather would.The bag retains its shape no matter how packed it is. and it feels together and compact. It instills in its owner the confidence that it is strong enough to withstand basically anything and look stunning while doing so.For anyone curious about its capacity. It is larger than you think but smaller than you hope. It fits my camera, 2 lenses and other gear with my laptop and other tech stuff with apparent ease. But it does not do well with items that require some expanse or have no structure such as clothes. You can may not be the bag for you. You'd be better-off looking for something suited for that purpose with larger compartments and possibly way less structure.It does not expand that way and is not accommodative in a conformist type of way. It retains structure which if perfect for tech items and books and items with particular form or rigidity such the likeIt has many many MANY pockets. Pockets in pockets and slits. I haven't been able to fill or use em all. Not to mention that these are separate from the laptop compartment. The compartments have zippers too. Not all zippers are made equal and many bag manufacturers skimp out on good zippers if they even do add any inside. Not here. Every zipper used is robust, smooth and secure.Its just so so so so good.Consider me a Samsonite fan.I might just buy the black one. Or the other backpack i see they offer

I was on the hunt for a professional-looking backpack that didn’t scream “student” but still gave me all the utility of a solid work bag — and this one nailed it. The design is sleek and modern, and the cognac leather looks even better in person. I’ve been using it daily for commuting and occasional travel, and it holds my 14” laptop, notebook, chargers, and even a light jacket with ease.What surprised me the most was how well it keeps its shape — even when it’s fully loaded. No sagging, no weird bulges. The straps are comfortable, and the back panel is breathable, which makes a difference during long days. Bonus points for the luggage strap — makes airport runs so much easier.Honestly, this is one of those purchases where you feel like you got way more than what you paid for. If you’re on the fence, just get it — you won’t regret it.

This is the perfect professional backpack that I was looking for. It holds my 13” laptop and power cords and other items with no issues. I love the strap that allows it to hang onto the handle of my suitcase (see photos). Excellent quality and it looks sharp.

Looking for new bag for work to carry my laptop and other items to and from the office as well a bag to travel with. I wanted something stylish, leather, not bulky and would hold my work and/or personal laptops.I was concerned that my work and personal laptops would not fit due thier size. There is a larger size back pack to this one however it looked big and bulky. My work laptop is 15" and my personal is 16".Happy to report that my work laptop fits perfectly in the back laptop pocket with plenty of room. My personal laptop fits perfectly in the middle compartment. (see picture)Backpack is stylish, has a slim profile, well made, lots of pockets, room for battery pack and notebooks and other office items. I really like that the straps are wider, padded and adjustable.

The media could not be loaded. I loved everything about this backpack. The only negative is that it was not as spacious as I would had liked and the leather was a bit too hard. I wanted a leather backpack with softer more malleable and flexible leather. The straps were too thin but other than that is an excellent piece that will last you for a very long time. I highly recommend it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I wanted a real leather laptop bag to use as my bag for church. This bag holds my Bible plus all of my pens, highlighters, and colored pencils and I still have some pockets left to fill! I love the soft, leather feel! The quality of the zippers is great!! They zip easily open and closed, one handed even. I have other Samsonite bags and they have lasted far longer than other bags I’ve had! Im very glad I kept looking and found this bag! I know I can expect it to be durable and love its versatility and functionality! ☺️

Great quality leather. Tons of room for my stuff. Perfect for a business backpack.
