Kenneth Cole REACTION ‘Out of the Bag' Manhattan Colombian Leather 15.6" Laptop Briefcase Travel Business Case Bag

I’ve been searching and searching for a bag that checks all of my boxes, and with this bag from Kenneth Cole, I have finally found it. It’s perfect! I need a bag that is not too heavy, not too floppy and I am not a fan of flaps in the front. This one is just right! The leather is really high quality and I’ve been using it for more than one week and there have been no marks, no scuffs, no discoloration whatsoever! I originally was drawn to the tan color but this dark brown was going to ship faster so I went with it and I am very happy I did. It is gorgeous. I really like the brass colored zippers and they work perfectly as well. Looks so good and the bag looks very professional. It has lots of pockets but still has enough room for what I bring with me daily (such as my iPad Pro and headphone case). It even has a place for expanding if needed. It is a little bulky, but not bad as others I have tried. I find it the perfect size. The fact that it was on sale was an added bonus. I’ve figured out that to get the quality I want I need to be willing to pay.a little more, but this bag was worth every penny. I can’t recommend it highly enough .

I bought this laptop case in August 2011. I have carried it every day since. I loved it four years ago. And I love it now. The leather is very high quality, much like my old lambskin flight jacket. I've replaced my MacBook Pro since 2011, but this bag is as sturdy and attractive as it was the day I received it, both inside and out. I usually carry it over my shoulder, but the short handles are great too. The shoulder strap is well-padded, simple to adjust, and comfortable. The clips are heavy duty. The zippers and pulls are high quality and have never once snagged. All of the inside compartments are lined and have held up perfectly. There is plenty of room in a separate compartment for several files, along with a smaller compartment for phone, pens and checkbook. It is exceedingly well designed. This is a fairly expensive case, but it will serve you will for many years.

Bought this for my son for his first job after graduating from college and he loves it. It’s such a high-quality.

I have purchased several bags by Kenneth Cole Reaction and have found them to always be of fantastic quality, and each has a well-thought-out design for a particular type of use. However, I am writing this review more geared towards the quality of the company rather than being aimed at this specific product (though I like this particular bag and have traveled around the world with it over the last 4 years). When there is ever an issue with a bag, I have always found the company to be responsive in taking care of the problem. Recently, I received a replacement bag for this case that I purchased in 2013 because they deemed the issue to be related to a defect -- free of charge! A second time, Kenneth Cole Reaction replaced a new bag that had small damage marks on the leather. I plan on being a super loyal customer and will never hesitate to buy bags for my own use or gifts. The designs are always good and they stand behind their products. Only a minor issue that I wanted to bring up with this particular model. The bag I got in 2013 had a little secret compartment on the side that was secured with their signature heavy-duty zipper. Not sure what it was for, but I found it VERY useful for my migraine cure, which I place in little vials. Whenever I started to get sick on the plane, I just reached for the compartment, and popped the pills. This compartment is now gone in this model. Now I have to rummage through a larger compartment that contains other items -- not fun when being buffeted around is a turbulent sky on the verge of a a debilitating migraine attack. Aside from this minor issue, I am pleased with this product. Thanks, Kenneth Cole Reaction! I highly recommend your products!

I use this bag when I'm flying and attending business meetings - looks more professional than my go-to backpack and I was able to consolidate necessary purse items (wallet, gum, medicine, chapstick, phone, sunglasses, etc.) and all of my technology (15" 2018 MacBook Pro, 10" iPad with keyboard, chargers, battery pack, cables, etc.) so I only had one carry on bag...made travel really easy and all of that fit without utilizing the expansion available. Probably holds too much (even while not extended) as when packed it was heavier than I would've liked, but that was my fault. Although it still fit, the cellphone pocket was a little snug for my iPhone 7 Plus that is in a pretty hefty case...what can I say, I have butter fingers. Love the shoulder strap that extends for crossbody, which is nice when carrying it for any distance. (Also adds additional security as you can keep the bag in front of you - less prone to pick-pockets, which is the main reason I don't travel with my backpack, especially in crowded airports.) All strap hardware is very sturdy and well-made. Strap also has a sliding, slightly padded attachment for comfort that works well. This bag fits under the seat on airplanes, has lots of organization options, has luggage strap on back to securely attach it to a suitcase that has a handle, and the leather is really top grade...soft but sturdy. As a side note, the laptop area was nice and snug for my 2018 15" MacBook Pro - may be a challenge for thicker laptops. Also, the set-up in the front pocket area was different than what is shown in the listing pictures. Mine has only two pockets and two pen slots...no credit card/ID slots at all. Improvements to this would be adding a sturdy place for a good size (24-32 oz) water bottle, and if it were available in a slightly more feminine version. Don't need or want ribbons and bows, but a less masculine look (not a fan of the contrast stitching) and an outside pocket that expands more for items typically carried in a purse would be awesome. I looked at a lot of laptop/portfolio bags made for women and they didn't meet my needs or have the overall quality/features of this bag. Hope this info helps!

This leather bag briefcase combination is truly exceptional. The scent of leather is delightful, and the zippers and separators are all impeccably designed. I have been utilizing this bag consistently for three months now to carry my computer and business essentials, and it still appears brand new. I am unable to find any drawbacks to this bag. The price is incredibly reasonable compared to other luxury brands. If you are in need of a bag of this caliber, I wholeheartedly endorse it as a worthwhile investment. I am pleased to have parted ways with my old Tumi bag and acquired this one.

Great briefcase! It is big enough to hold my laptop (15.6), 10" tablet, and a few personal care items. It's an office set up in a bag.

Excellent carry on bag ,I love the outside pockets for passport and airline ticket.My MacBook Pro 15" fits in fine and you can use middle pocket for more protection or more outside pocket.It has a pocket for iPad or a couple of books.The quality of the leather is very good with a soft but study feel.The zippers are excellent and the strap is attached so a filled bag will hold cole to your torso.I bought this from Amazon in order to assure it was a geniue item and it is.I saw this at one of the office supply stores for nearly twice what I paid.

Necesitaba un maletín para muchas cosas, pues el anterior ya se quedaba corto, encontré este de Kenneth Cole y no puedo estar más satisfecho. Sí, es de pura piel, se huele y se ve. La calidad es muy buena, por fuera y por dentro, el color viste bien más cuando usas traje diario. Nada más para que sepan qué llevo en este producto. Batería recargable grande, pluma, bocina pequeña, case para cables, audífonos grandes y un reprocutor DAC, lector de DVD, laptop, termo de café, tablet y carpeta de piel. Todavía le caben más cosas. 10 de 10

Very nice bag so far, with many pockets.

I am very happy with this bag - bought many over the years and this one is top quality. Looks fantastic, looks expensive and has so much room for my laptop, iPad and Galaxy S7+ tablet and kindle. Plenty of room for all the other necessaries needed when traveling - passport wallet, phone, multi usb charger plus, a cable organiser etc. I should mention that the bag is quite heavy before putting stuff into it. Great for travel if you are in business class where you have plenty of baggage allowance - but might not be so good for economy where baggage weight is at a premium. Also not sure I would want to put this bag on the floor underneath seats - its really too good for that in my opinion.

Excellent

Been using this bag for a few months and love it. It's solidly made, looks good, high quality product.
