David King & Co. Expandable Messenger Bag 

"I used this bag to replace a smaller David King & Co. bag which I liked but was a little too small - it would not fit a collapsible golf sized umbrella, which I need for when I am walking with my two year old. This bag fits it, and then some - it is really huge! It has been getting me a lot of compliments - people really like the shape and style. My only two minor complaints - the organization section wasn't quite as varied as I had hoped it would be - I don't have a good place to keep my cell phone, there's not as many mini-pockets for pens and all the other assorted stuff I carry around, so instead it all floats loose. Also, I really like the strap, but the hardware is a little wonky - one of the springs was completely misaligned when the bag arrived, but I was able to fix it. All in all, however, it's a great bag and I definitely recommend it."

"I am a medical student working now in the clinics and hospitals, and this bag saves my life. I should have gotten it a year ago! Comments. Volume/capacity: There's plenty of room for two textbooks to carry around in case I find a bonus 30 min to go study (~500 pages each, not 1200...). I also carry a notebook to take notes at lectures and on rounds, etc. This does not tax the capacity of the bag; I could easily fit a third book if I wanted. Pockets/organization: For a student with a ton of pens and highlighters, I wish there were a few more small subcompartments and maybe a zippered pocket in the main section. Also, i wish the flap of the bag was zippered instead of the back. (I would stash ace wraps and bandages here for orthopedics rotations) Overall, though, the organization is pretty good for getting my keys, phone charger, stethoscope, 5-hour energy, water, CLIF bars, and several other knick-knacks into consistent, easily-findable locations. I can't imagine there's much better on the market than this bag with regard to overall combo of pockets for my use, considering the great looks and the medium (not huge) size. Hopefully this description reflects that the bag may hold more than you think based on the pictures (that was true for me). Aesthetics: I look sharper and more professional than most of the residents. It really is a nice-looking item. Fit/comfort: The bag wraps nicely around my flank when I carry it on the same shoulder (strap on the shoulder without crossing my neck). The bulk of the bag is really nice to carry--weight distributes well, and doesn't swing around awkwardly. The strap, however, is pretty skinny, and I'm considering getting a new one. The strap is definitely the least comfy part, but overall it's a pretty darn nice bag to carry. Durability: Looks solid, but I've used it only for a week or so, so I can't comment long-term. I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and I would highly recommend this bag to medical students."

"I am a working professional as well as a student in the city of Chicago and needed something stylish yet functional for everyday use. This bag exceeded my expectations. There is enough room for my laptop, a couple of books, notebook, phone, wallet, and I can even stuff my breakfast and lunch into this thing. On days where I just need my laptop, I zip up the expandable compartment for a more compact look. I get compliments on it everywhere I go by people fooled into believing it is real leather. My only complaint is the narrow shoulder strap and pad, I will be finding a thicker one soon as it hurts my shoulder after awhile."

"It needs handles... It only has a shoulder strap."

"Bought this for my husband. He likes the bag, but his only complaint is that it doesn't have a handle on top (an oversight on my part). Still it was a great value."

"The leather is soft and the interior organization is great."

"I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he LOVES it! It has great organization in the front pocket and plenty of other sections to separate work items from rest of life items. Good quality leather...a few small nicks but it adds character. Has looks of a professional case but isn't too stuffy for my wonderful on-air radio DJ hubby."

"This was a gift for a music professor, for whom finding a bag large enough to accommodate his sheet music was a problem. He LOVED it and couldn't believe we found one of so great a size! Gorgeous bag!"

"Beautiful bag, perfect for my daughter in new management position. Great organization features with perfect size, shape and appearance. It was one of two bags she recd as gifts & I am more understanding than her partner so I returned the one that was more her. Had I not had so many similar bags I would have kept it myself. Had to answer all the questions for this to submit, but we do not have the bag."

"Excellant quality. Very versatile. Would buy again!"
