Berchirly Vintage Military Men Canvas Messenger Bag Satchel Travel Shoulder Bags For 13.3-17" Laptop

Stylish, portable, easy access, low maintenance, could be used with formal & informal wear; these are all the things I was looking for in my couple days of research and I found it here with Berchirly Canvas. I am a college student and was looking for a new back-pack over the summer, since my old one broke, and then I decided that switching to a satchel might be a better option. A satchel has always been a dream of mine to own; however I had to do a lot of research to figure out what kind. The leather satchels offer a very professional and very classy look to them; however, leather material (as I already knew) was going to take a lot of extra work and when I saw how much as well as the cost it was a bit much for me. The Berchirly Canvas quickly became an excellent choice for me because it was $80 (right at around what I wanted to spend), it wasn't weather proof however it is a lot more tolerable to weather than leather (especially when leather gets wet). Now another factor for me was size. I needed something that could hold my: 5-7 folders, 2 books, a calculator, agenda, spare supplies, school wallet, and a laptop all at once, and this baby did so phenomenally! Even with all that stuff in at once the bag was still very portable and not too heavy. Now I will caution you on a couple of things: 1) I bought this bag with every intention for it to be something I could replace in a couple of years and not shed a tear. And it most certainly is great for that purpose as well as long term use. 2) If you wear jeans and allow it to rub up against your side for a long period of time, the jean color will rub off onto the bag a little. Not a lot, yet it was enough that I found it easier & smarter just to carry it in hand with one arm (even just ever so slightly so that it didn't touch my side). I especially did this when it was light weight & I would switch arms every now an again; and after doing so the jean color faded away almost entirely. Even with those cautions this is a phenomenal satchel and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a change from the traditional back-pack or anyone looking for a stylish and efficient means to carry their stuff. Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

Not long ago I tried a cheap $7 shoulder or “ammo” bag instead of my backpack for everyday carry of small tools, medical, and concealed carry in some cases. The shoulder bag was ok and very easy to carry but lacked the room of my backpack so I set out to find a vintage styling satchel or messenger bag. In comes Berchirly which I found on a top 10 Youtube countdown, and so far I am not disappointed at all it has a beautiful canvas and leather look which I love as I enjoy this type of rugged look. But where this bag excels is space there’s a ton of room I carry a journal, bible, agenda, tool pouch, med pouch, electronic pouch, pens, pencil, small dop kit, during the winter some gloves and a beanie and it’s not even half full; I fit a GoPro with multiple accessories on occasion and still have room for hopefully a dslr some day. Everything stays organized and easy to grab thinaks to the open setup and I could still easily slide in a small laptop but I am old school and enjoy pen and paper. There a small inside zipper pouch perfect for a small lotion tin, altoids tin, and chapstick. There’s 4 outside pockets the two large on the front you can see that have a ton of room and two small side pockets for lint roller, cologne, sunglasses cleaner and really anything you like. The two large from pockets have snap buttons the two sides are secured with leather straps that are beautiful. The front flap is secured with an easy access magnetic button that opens to a zipper to keep your belongings safe. The strap is rather comfortable even with a little weight as my bag goes everywhere with camera gear and odds and ends. A small pad is attached that you can see in the pictures, while looking good with a leather accent it is actually very comfortable. I typically don’t carry it long distance as it goes from house to vehicle to work or stays in my vehicle if I’m running errands but I wouldn’t hesitate to keep it keep on my should for extended periods if I used it as a camera bag as I plan to I’m the future. This bag has changed my whole outlook on shoulder bags.

Just got the bag! Can't wait to start using it! I bought the 17" bag which I felt might be too big but it felt just right. When you open the box, you can smell the leather and it feels like a pretty solid bag. Doesn't feel flimsy at all. The buckles are weird. The side pockets have a real buckle and the two front ones have a magnetic button. Seems backwards as I'd prefer the side pockets to have the magnet and the front to have the buckles. The side pockets are about large enough to put a small red bull can into. The front pockets can fit an iPad mini and then some! I'm giving it 4 stars because the zipper is a little clunky, and not very smooth I can see there's potential for breakage here. I packed the bag with what I usually pack in my book bag (GoT book is in place of an actual school book) The items are as follows 15" laptop (ultra book) iPad mini Moleskine journal/notebook Camera with lens attached Additional lens Small bag with wires/chargers Travel tripod for camera Large book Pair of glasses with case Misc pens pencils highlighters rulers. Hygiene products (deodorant baby wipes, anti bacterial) not shown in pic I added a pic of all the stuff laid out on the bed in the bag so u can see how the stuff fits inside. Still had room for a few more books or perhaps a change of clothes (minus footware). So far I really like it and can't wait to use it. The color isn't the olive army green which some might think. It's more like a coyote brown that the marines or army are using. Still really nice!

2018 - Update Review: I have used this bag every day for work since I bought it over 2 years ago, it is amazing. It still looks brand new, nothing on it has broken or frayed. This is probably one of the best purchases I have ever made as far as use vs. price. I cannot say enough great about this bag - GET IT. I bought it in the Army Green which is actually a tanish color and it looks great. Original Review: I bought this bag over 4 months ago and it was so worth the money. First, it's really thick sturdy material, the pockets are sewn well and will hold up to jamming a lot into the front two which I do on a daily basis. The straps are all still in great condition with no fraying or signs of coming apart. The only thing I do not like is the two flaps which tuck in to protect the bag where the zipper zips up always are hanging out. I could probably solve this issue if I used a heavy starch and ironed them so I did not remove any stars for this as they are necessary if it's raining and you're carrying this bag to keep your items dry on the ends of the zipper. Besides the quality of the construction it's simply an adorable bag. I had some reservations about spending so much on one bag, but I use it every day at work and I carry a lot of files and notebooks in it and am really glad that I purchased it, well worth the price!

I am very pleased with this bag. I ordered the XL size, which is perfect for my 17 inch laptop. I'm a bit of a bag enthusiast, and I can tell this is definitely a higher end bag. I saw some of the reviews were questioning the quality, so I'm thinking some of those people got inferior copies. I bought mine from Kim's Republic, the vendor you buy from matters a lot on Amazon. This is a great bag to hold a laptop, a notebook or folio case, and a few pens and other smaller items. I have managed to store a Springfield Armory XD(m) 3.8 compact in a kydex pocket holster in one of the front pockets, but it was a little tight. I like the look of this bag, it is a classic military look that looks fashionable instead of tactical. I don't generally like it when people are wondering if I am carrying a gun (as bags with MOLLE tend to suggest). I could see someone using this in place of a briefcase in a day to day office environment (big meetings and other more formal events might require something more traditional). The strap is very comfortable. I didn't add a lot of weight, but what weight I did have in it was barely noticeable on my shoulder. The buckles have magnetic holders on them, so you don't actually need to buckle and unbuckle them every time you want to get in a pocket. Overall, I am very pleased that I bought this bag. It is just the right size for me to be useful without being overwhelming. It has a very decent quality to it. I have added pictures of how my XD(m) fits, as well as a 17 inch laptop with a folio and a spiral bound notebook, all three of which fit easily with enough room for more things.

This was a Christmas gift for my college student. He wanted something that would fit his large laptop with room for his books, had a few pockets and didn't sit on his back like his backpack does. (He's a big guy - 6"5" - and said he hated backing into things and people with his loaded backpack) This bag hits all these check points and I think it's stylish, too. It looks great with his jeans or business casual at his internship. A definite step up from his old backpack and he says he's able to shift the bag to in front of his body quite easily to avoid bumping into people//things. The strap is long enough that he could wear it cross-shoulder if he chose to. It's adjustable and he wears it to where it hits him at the hip over one shoulder. The canvas is durable, military-grade and the straps are made of real and thick leather (not pleather :0). The shoulder strap is very thick as well, but is soft/flexible. He added a laptop sleeve for protection as there's none built into this bag. He has a very large laptop (17.3" screen with a 1" border all around it - I mean BIG) and this bag fits it well, even with the sleeve, and there is still room for a couple text books, notebook, chargers, earbuds, pens, pencils....etc. It doesn't look comically big at all, though. I think it's because it is soft sided and not padded. This bag is well made and I'm confident that he'll get years of use of out it. When he's finished with school, I think he could use it as an overnight bag or carry on. I highly recommend.

Very good construction and ample pockets. Great materials. After using for 2 months there are 2 glaring gripes. 1) The side "Water Bottle" pockets are not big enough for even a 12oz Slim Can. Way too small. My car keys barely fit. 2) The main cavity liner is not anchored anywhere so it floats like a soft big baggie which makes stuffing something into it hard. You have to smooth out the liner before you put anything in. Bad design. The liner should be anchored other than the bottom.

Impressive, That is the first impression I got when I unpackaged this bag. Wrapped in a very nice paper bag, this bag is constructed of 100% canvas, and not the cheap stuff. The all cotton canvas makes this bag rugged but stylish. The leather straps are actually leather and not fake. The buckles are all functional, with the two that close the cover having magnetic catches so you don't have to undo the buckles if you need to get into the bag. A nice rugged zipper closes the main bag compartment and the pocket inside the main compartment is zippered as well. Everything about this bag is rugged and well built. I am still very impressed with the build quality of this bag, despite being a bit cautious when I ordered it. For the price, this is an outstanding bag to which I highly recommend. The only little nitpicky issue I have are the two end pockets are rather small and with the leather flap and buckle closure, the pockets aren't menat for anything you need to get to in a hurry, but that by no means dissuades my overall opinion. If you want a good quality messenger bag at a very reasonable price, this is it.

I’ve been using this Berchirly messenger bag for a few months now, and I’m seriously impressed. The canvas is thick and durable, with a rugged vintage look that’s perfect for both casual and semi-professional settings. The leather accents give it a premium feel, and the stitching is solid all around. I use it daily to carry my 15.6" laptop, notebooks, chargers, and a few other essentials. It easily fits everything with room to spare, and the compartments help keep things organized. The shoulder strap is comfortable, even when the bag is loaded up. If you're looking for a practical, good-looking messenger bag that can handle everyday use without falling apart, this is the one. Highly recommend!
