      Customer Feedback:

      Overall, this is a wonderful bag! My reasoning for 4 stars is because the straps don’t stay on your shoulders when you wear it as a backpack. The small pockets on the outside at the front are very shallow, I’ve already had a few lip glosses fall out!

      Reviewer Name: Seana (Verified Purchase)

      Customer Feedback:

      1. First Impressions & Design\n​Initial reaction: it's so cute and big, and the leather is soft! \n \n​Aesthetics: the overall look is professional, handle looks like a briefcase/bag has with the handle being joined UNDER the flap. It has a minimalistic look and feel, very chic. \n\n​Materials: I love leather bags and notebook covers and this leather is beautiful compared to many others. It's buttery soft and it appears it will hold up well. The zippers glide without issue and are very smooth. Hardware is SOLID. \n\n​Color/Pattern: I have the black/gunmetal. It matches the product pictures perfectly. I'm in love with the gunmetal personally. So much so that I turned around and purchased a petite and grande pouch with a grande carabiner, all in that metal type. \n\n​2. Functionality & Organization\n​Use: I initially intended the bag to be for work days only and mostly when I carried my laptop to and from the office, but I knew immediately it would be my every day carry. \n\n​Capacity: I haven't even used it to its full capacity! I have my Beats in its case, both pouches, brush, deodorant, body spray, kindle, laptop, cords, box of emergency meds, and other knick knacks. I've fit my 24oz Owala water bottle in with everything too, with room to spare. \n\n​Pockets & Compartments: I'm trying to figure out what to use the two shallower pockets in the front for. Back pocket/trolley sleeve is fantastic for my keys and phone in pocket mode. Like with any "diaper bag," the pockets on the inside across the side make it hard to use the large main compartment (if you fill them), but it's nice for small items and organization if needed. The laptop sleeve inside is shallower than expected. \n\n​Accessibility: as anticipated, you likely won't be able to get anything inside the main compartment unless you stop and dig around. The back pocket/trolley sleeve is the jam for quick to reach items. Even better, pair the bag with a pouch to hang from the side if you need more space for quick to reach items that's enclosed (unlike the back pocket). The front zipper pocket is nice but you have to fiddle with the flap, and the flap won't easily find the magnets to close itself. Not a deal breaker and it's something to expect with this bag. Everything is extremely secure. \n\n​3. Comfort & Wearability\n​Straps and Distribution: shoulder straps are great and durable. Haven't worn the bag for a long period yet but I can't imagine it'll be a pain. They can extend pretty long, and the shortest setting is great to have it right between my shoulder blades in backpack mode. Overall, a lot of flexibility and the weight is distributed evenly across the bag. \n\n​Carrying Options: I can't tell you how thrilled I am with the different carrying options. There's a carry option for every occasion! \n\n​4. Durability & Quality\n​Construction: the bag seems to be made with care. It appears better-made than most other well known brands, like Dooney or Fossil. Obviously that can be seen in the price. But the point is, it's worth it - especially when it comes to initial reaction to the quality of all the materials. Hardware is sturdy. No matter how much is in the bag, I feel confident it'll hold together and not be straining. \n\n​Zippers: like I said before, these zippers feel like it's moving through butter. They feel sturdy and high quality. \n\n​Long-Term Durability: Based on my initial use, I think this bag will hold up very nicely. Decades of use incoming!\n\n​5. Pros & Cons\n​Pros:\n​- aesthetic and ability to dress up and down\n- security\n- durability and capacity \n\n​Cons:\n​- not as structured as I'd like in the front; back is more structured so it makes the bag look odd when it's sitting down\n- 2 front shallow pockets hard to find use for\n- Shallow laptop sleeve\n\n​6. Overall Rating & Conclusion\n​Overall Rating: 4. 5/5\n\n​Final Thoughts: I'd recommend the bag to any professional looking for a nice, minimalistic, professional looking work bag. Even better if you travel a lot for your job. I'm a mom of 2 boys, now in 4th and 2nd grade, and I need something this size a lot, but if you don't have a love for leather or need/want something to last decades, you can find something at a smaller price point that will do the same as this bag. I think even the vegan version would be great and last longer than most other brands. I do NOT regret the purchase, but the price point is pretty high and I'm happy I bought it used, a bit cheaper. I'd love to learn more about the materials to actually determine its worth. I'll be looking into it more for sure.

      Customer Feedback:

      I’m really impressed with the quality on first impressions. This is my first purchase from Alf the Label and I purchased this bag as a travel work bag. It was the perfect fit that was both functional and stylish. I had previosuly purchaed other bags from different retailers and I wasnt impressed, resulting in me returning the items and feeling disappointed. \n\nOn finer inspection I can see the care and consideration put into this bag. Although i’m not planning on using this bag as a baby bag i can see how practical it would be. The quality of the dustbag is exceptional as well. I’m really looking forward to using this bag over many years.

      Review Title: Leather quality

      Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 stars (Below Average)

      Reviewer Name: Laura (Verified Purchase)

      Review Date: 2025-05-24

      Customer Feedback:

      I just received this backpack as a baby diaper bag, and for how much it costs, I feel the quality of the leather isn’t there and lack of structure. I am using the bag regardless because it is spacious enough, but I wouldn’t charge $500 for this bag.

      Customer Feedback:

      I love it!!! The only thing is that I wish it didn’t crease at the bottom front corners when the bag isn’t full. I think it’s inevitable, though, given how heavy the bag material is

      Customer Feedback:

      I bought this bag for my daughter to use as a nappy bag and it has exceeded our expectations in terms of quality. The leather is super soft and the bag itself is the perfect size. The backpack option is fab for when your hands are full. Very happy with our (my!) purchase and would highly recommend to others.
