Bellino The Australian Vertical Messenger 

"I used this bag for several months when the clasps broke while I was traveling through Heathrow airport. I contacted Bellino for a replacement. They said that they would fix it, but I just needed a new strap, which they agreed to send. I have been waiting for months with no response, despite repeated attempts to contact them. Very disappointed in their customer service and their poor response time."

"The clasps on the strap broke in just a couple of months of use. Very disappointed with the durability of this product."

"Great bag!"

"I researched literally 50-75 bags for my husband and I. I evaluated material, total inside dimensions, pockets/compartments and general look. I wanted a bag would fit a rectangular food container, a 32-oz water bottle and misc items (sunglasses, wallet, etc.) This bag does a good job. The food container is a bit snug but it works. The water bottle fits easily standing upright. The inside compartments are good but I would like an inside compartment that will fit a couple of files so I don't have to keep papers in the main compartment. I would like a zipper compartment in the flap that fold over the top of the bag. Getting things into the main compartment is a smidgen of a hassle because of the way it is designed (difficult to describe in words) but it would not detour me from purchasing the bag again. I have received several compliments on how nice it looks. It can be used for casual or dress. I really like the fact that it is mostly nylon so I don't have to worry about a water drops or (knock on wood that it will never happen) a food container leak. If it was leather I know I would be a bit paranoid. Yes, it doesn't have the panache of leather but that's ok because I can use it every day in any type of condition without worry. (Note- if you like a secure closure this is not the bag for you because it just uses a magnetic closure. Not pickpocket resistant.)"

"I really like it. Its great."

"In my search for a perfect man-bag for my iPad and travel, this one came up wanting. It looks great. Nice leather too, but I don't go for the magnetic closures and clips on the shoulder strap. A bag needs to be pickpocket resistant. This is not. Otherwise, plenty of room without allowing me to load up too much. I returned it. Sorry to say."

"I wrote to the customer service upon receipt of the bag. The bag is nice and the size and shape that I was looking for, so I did not return it. My only major comment is that the bag is called LEATHER. Only the flap and side trim is leather, most of the bag is BALLISTIC NYLON FABRIC."
