Soft, rich vaquetta leather displays all the character provided by nature, making each piece unique. The tanning process locks in natural oils, producing a soft, durable leather that won't crack or become brittle with normal use. Occasional maintenance with a high-quality conditioner is recommended for lasting performance.

This bag is beautiful!! I could not be happier with it. If you are thinking about getting this bag, you wont regret it. I promise. I just recieved my bag and it is exactly as described. The pics really does not do it justice. It looks so much better in person. I can not really see any cons with the purchase of this bag. I got the black one myself and it matches my black leather jacket perfectly.

Comments about David King East/West Full-Flap Double Cross Applique Messenger Bag:
As stated above, it just doesn't get any better than this. A high quality and well made product with plenty of room and lots of compartments to store just about anything and everything. The rough black double gothic cross contrasting the smooth finish of the bag makes it nothing short of spectacular and totally unique for those who dare.... The strap is comfortable enough, although I added a strap pad ("ergopad", available on eBay) for enhanced comfort. Even the magnetic flap closures are powerful enough to hold the major flap closed quite securely. All in all, this bag gets my highest rating for both functionality and aesthetics [...]. An awesomne bag, more than worth every penny of its quite reasonable price!!!

I have wanted to get a bag for awhile. Not wanting to waste a purchase, I wanted to wait for something special... and I found it in this messenger bag. I use it for school and work. It fits both settings. I have no reservations recommending it to anyone looking for a one. Sometimes I wish I had gotten the deeper version, but usually that just translates into me trying to carry to much stuff. This bags has lots of pockets, room for my laptop, all the cords I need for it (power and printer cable), two binders, my day planner, my bible, a little devotional book, and a book. I get compliments on how good it looks all the time.

I love the look of this leather. It is a relaxed look that will get better with time. I use it, with the addition of a neoprene laptop sleeve, to carry my laptop among other things. It is incredibly roomy with lots of pockets. I really love this bag. It was exactly what I was hoping it would be and more.

I bought this bag about 3 months ago and it's exactly what the picture says about it--stylish, nice looking leather and fit for most any of your needs. From a person who doesn't pass guarantees easily this is one I put my signature on as a bag that will impress.

Comments about David King East/West Full-Flap Double Cross Applique Messenger Bag:
I really like the bag overall; it is nice to carry & has all the pockets I could ever need. The strap is a bit uncomfortable if you really pack it heavy (which I do), but its bearable. Also, the back pocket is just a bit too small for a regular size laptop, so it has to go in the main compartment. The Pockets/Compartments: It has two lenghtwise pockets in front, a large main compartment with business card pouch, pens & additional cell phone pouch (I use the ones in front for my cell phones, however). Between the maincompartment and the front is another zipper pocket and the back of the bag has a zipper pocket; both large enough for snacks and folders. The leather from the inside of the back pocket only, leaves little bits of leather on things (not a big deal but gross). The front flap also has a zipper pocket in it, great for a slim daytimer. I bought the dark brown one and the cross is black--looks great! There are more pictures on the manufacure's web site for the various colors. I love this bag. I feel stylish and comfortable. I have always used messanger type bags and this one has lots of secure zipper pockets for traveling and daily sales calls.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt even though the web site said it would be weeks before I got it--perhaps a standard line to cover themselves. I got a message when it was being shipped and it arrived promptly after I ordered. Great site, I will use it again for the future.

I recieved this bag in the mail one week before I headed on a month long senior trip. I am writing this review from my last stop, Japan, and have carried it on 5 airplanes, 7 busses, and 28 trains. I have used it as a computer bag and even an overnight suitcase. It has the perfect amount of storage and pockets and I recieve compliments on it all the time. Highly recommended.
