While the leather material places this carry on in the higher category of luggages, I was disappointed with two items. First, the key for the outside pocket broke off while I was trying to lock it on the initial try. The items in the pocket got lost on the return trip home. Second, if there is a lot of items packed, when upright, the luggage has a tendency to tip over.

This carry on is very good except for 2 negatives. 1. The front legs are too short and the case tips over whenever it is full. 2. The front flap should be zippered around to prevent it from being folded back when putting inside an overhead bin. I'm thinking of installing velcro on the corners of the flap.

I bought this bag to serve my needs as a sales rep. I am able to put all my samples, and even a light sweater or small purse inside.The outside holds my small laptop easily and the other compartment will hold pens, order pads ,etc. It is nice looking and includes a small garment bag, nice touch. The leather makes it look rich. It does tip over easily when it is loaded with the handle up. So far only drawback.

Bought mine a maybe 5 years ago. I've used it quite a bit (for about 8 months I was living 1/2 way across the country from where I worked and flew twice a week). Its taken quite a beating and held up fairly well. The metal fixtures are a little cheap and broke down after about a year, but changing them out didn't cost much. The leather is high quality and the stitching strong. What others have said about balance is true. When its full you have to find something to lean it against because it will fall.I abused mine repeatedly over the last 5 years by using it's handle to support a very large heavy canvas duffle bag (rather than carrying it). Finally the weight of it warped the expandable handle making it difficult to expand or collapse. But considering the abuse it held up fairly well

Good quality leather and well constructed but not well balanced. It tended to fall flat when let go of during my first travel experience, a bit of a hassle.

This unit seems to be of a sturdy leather and held up well on my last trip. (One trip only thus far, so long term is not known.) It rolled easily, fit nicely in the overhead storage of the plane, and had convenient pockets. The laptop carrier portion was not particularly well padded, but it would hold your laptop. It is difficult to differentitate from the other people's luggage as black carry-ons are seemingly the most popular option out there. My advice would be to get this unit and then get a colorful tag or something similar. Overall, I am quite pleased with the purchase.

It tips over which is so annoying. I gave it to my sons to use and they are fine with it. I ended up getting something else. It is also a bit heavy.

The quality of the leather is very nice for this price. It's a good looking piece of luggage. It's perfect for a weekend getaway, but would be even nicer if the luggage is maybe an extra inch deeper.

I purchased this piece of luggage a little over 3 years ago. The leather is an excellent quailty and overall it is a very handsome piece of luggage. I opted for this piece, as it met the airline requirment of carry on luggage and there is in fact no difficulty using it as such. The unit is able to handle enough items to accomodate a carefully packed week for a summer vacation. I do not use the laptop pocket for a computer, but it seems like it would be suitable for this so long as you recognize not to smash it into something. I am tall and the handle is long enough for me to comfortably wheel it around, the wheels work effortlessly, and it is easy to navigate through an airport. The handle collapse down also. I agree with another review that it blends in with all of the other luggage, but I put a bright luggage tag on it and it is always used as a carry on so it is not an issue. The interior is well desgined and quality made. I have really jammed this thing full, and the zippers, seams, etc. have held up beautifully. The pockets are thoughtful and well designed; they are plentiful but not a useless loss of packing space. The suitcase itself is fairly heavy given it's size, but it is from the leather being such a well constructed weight. I am always able to roll it everywhere, so the little added weight when compared to a nylon unit is not an issue. The quality is worth the weight also. I do not use the lock on the unit, so I cannot comment on the sturdiness of that feature. It is typical of most suitcases though. I rated this as a good value, but that is at the price I paid for it years ago. I have not recently researched prices so I am not sure if that still holds true. I would pay the higher price found today though. It still looks as fantastic as it did when I used it the first time! You will not regret this purchase.

I'm extremely pleased with the quality of this Leather Brief. An excellent value!

the product was great and good quality, but there was an ugly red button on the handle that wasn't in the product photo. i wish it wasn't there, but otherwise the luggage is perfect.

Don't really have a review - a friend asked me to buy it for him. As far as I know everything was fine, but it was smaller than he was looking for.

its perfect

I am giving the 2 cases I got as Christmas gifts, so I have yet to get a reaction from the recipients. I think they are wonderful and of really good quality.

The case is nice and generally sturdy. However, after only having it for a few months the top handle broke off. Try to get a part for that. Not easy.

Excellent product. Exactly like described. Fast shipping. Would love to do business with big O again Thank you.

It is so great. It is the perfect size that I need and it matches my leather luggage that I ordered before this. It arrived 2 days before my travel to Vermont this past weekend and I feel like a millionare travelling in 1st class.

Fantastic luggage. Easy access to all external compartments. Not too heavy. The leather is beautiful!
