Augus Leather Briefcase for Men, 15.6 Inch Laptop Business Travel 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.

Surpassed my expectations on look, quality, & size. The leather is gorgeous! It’s real thick leather, the stitching is perfect, it’s sturdy, & the distressed look is beautiful. I was so shocked how well made & beautiful this bag is for the price. Being from Texas I have in the past purchased the same bag from a fairs custom leather shop in south Texas & I won’t say how much I paid for it but I won’t be doing that again because this bag is comparable.

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've had mine for about 6 years and it's still in perfect condition. No broken zippers, loose buttons, tattered stitching etc. Everything has held up perfectly. Best briefcase I've ever owned. Well worth the money.

Have used two weeks. I’m very pleased so far. Excellent quality especially for this price. I believe it is going to meet my needs well.

The four stars has nothing to do with the item I purchased, because the item I did purchase is actually nicer than the picture. It was stated in the description that it would be delivered well before I needed. That is the primary reason that I ordered that particular item. Well needless to say a couple days after I checked my emails and find that this item will not be delivered well after (about 12 days later). And on top of that it was sent out from Baltimore, I live in Delaware, and they sent it out to Colorado. I could have driven out to Baltimore and picked it up, it's an hour and a half away. And now I have to box it up and pay myself to have it shipped out. Called Amazon right away and there was nothing they could do, other than buy another Messenger bag have it sent to where we were traveling to and when we return and the Bag arrived, I could send it back and get my money back. But the Messenger bag is beautiful and well made, I love it.

I rarely ever leave a review on a product, but this one is deserving of one! I wanted to wait and use the bag for a while before I left my review. I've had it for over a month now and I am extremely impressed! As some of you may have read in other reviews, as did I, the bag does have a raw leather smell to it when you receive it. I can assure you the strength of the smell goes away after a few days, and smells like you would expect any leather product to smell. I am shocked that this bag is priced as low as it is for what you get. It's very well made and has plenty of pockets and compartments. I'm still trying to find a use for all of them. The strap is adjustable and extremely comfortable on my shoulder. The bag looks very fashionable, too. I wear a lot of black, gray, and Navy for work and this compliments all of them. My one and only complaint/suggestion would be to add a second zipper to the center compartment. The other two have dual zippers, but for some reason the center one only has one. This is the one that I use the most so it would be more convenient if it had two and the others just had one. I'm not sure what their reasoning for this is...? I would definitely buy this bag again, and I'm currently considering buying one as a backup before the price shoots up. If you're on the fence go ahead and pull the trigger. I promise you you will be happy with this bag.

I purchased in Christmas of 2019; my husband faithfully uses it everyday and it’s held up wonderfully. He travels a lot and has come in handy so many times. Great quality and would definitely recommend. Will definitely be purchasing again for future replacement.

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 meantime I will enjoy using it, even if its just going from the lounge room to the office room

Highly recommend, plenty of space and well designed. great value for money
