Claire Chase Guardian Computer Briefcase, Distressed Brown, One Size

the bag is excellent, but the single notable weakness is: the zippers. They're not YKK unfortunately. The one for the computer compartment broke after a few years, but that should NOT be interpreted as several years of continuous use. I actually use the bag relatively rarely, basically for a month each year during travel, and then very sporadically at others times (one or twice a month). And the zipper broke. Probably standard outcome for most bags, but this one is very pricey, so my expectation was higher

This briefcase was surprisingly light for a large leather bag. I've been looking for an aesthetically pleasing briefcase that would fit my large, 17" laptop for about a year now--and this one finally fits the bill. The laptop fits in with about an inch to spare, so it's not a pain to get it in or out, and there's plenty of room for thick stacks of documents as needed. Great bag.

I got this because of my 17.3 inch laptop. It is JUST a little small but I can still fit it in, just have to remove the side padding (attached with Velcro). Apart from that; what an awesome looking bag! I got it solely for that distressed brown colour. I love the design, everything appears to be nicely built, handles are nice, strap is nice, enough room for laptop, Charger and some papers/notebook. All up, despite the snug fit for my laptop, I'm happy!

Good quality so far. Knocked off a star only because it's freaking *heavy*. To be expected with all that leather, but still.

Travel regularly for work. Just as regularly I will get a compliment or nice comment on this bag. Enough room (and more to spare) for my laptop, large leather portfolio, personal tablet (with case), chargers, cords, sunglasses case, keys, and miscellaneous supplies. But also not so large that it looks like your carrying a suitcase. Absolutely perfect for my needs.

This bag is heavy and is poorly made. In several places the stitching came apart on the bag. Also the stitching in the middle of shoulder strap is about rip. And I've only barely used this bag for a couple of months.You get what you pay for.

Sophisticated, but Indiana Jones like, durable, but light... I really love it!I get so many compliments about this bag!

very large and great to fit whatever you'd need on a long business trip!
