Summary: Looks and feels like it is meant to be used
Comment: When I saw this bag it struck a cord. It reminded me of the bags used by people who NEED to carry a bag. The picture that comes to mind is that of Italian city police walking around with their bags slung over their shoulders.

This bag gets its rugged look and feel by being clearly handmade. You can see where the leather was cut and stitched by hand. Because it feels rugged you are not going to be afraid to use it or (if you're a guy like me who does not like the thought of carrying a bag) be ashamed about the way you look carrying it: the bag looks like it is part of what you do.

The long strap is awesome: It allows you to let the bag hang exactly where you want it. The leather is really nice and you can tell it is genuine. I also like the front closure: looks like a belt buckle, but it is just a magnetic closure that is quick to open.

This is not a messenger bag that can carry a laptop, and it is not a rigid briefcase with a filing system for important documents. But it seems to be the right size and weight to carry AND organize everything I need: journals, writing pads, pda/phone, mp3 player, refillable water bottle, pens, and so on.


Editorial Reviews:

We called this bag PEPITA because it conjures up images of a brave soul exploring unfamiliar lands in search of hidden treasures - he returns, having narrowly escaped death, with but a single "pepita" (nugget) of gold in his leather bag ...
This bag is handmade in Italy using real vegetable-tanned Italian leather. It is soft and supple, with a nicely broken-in feel. The very first time you sling the bag over your shoulder it will feel like it's been your favorite bag for ages!
Size: Approx. 8.25" x 4" x 10.25"
