Pros: The bag is stunning, high-end and very sharp. Leather is a beautiful, rich color and just so soft. Excellent leather. Love the tan twill, style, wide width to carry heavy files, even lunch/beverage. Tons of pockets inside to separate your papers from business to personal. This is an extremely rich looking bag and made to perfection. Definately Europeon in style for both men and women. Now for the Cons: The lock. Unless I just got the whammy or not strong enough to close, the lock was a royal pain. Meaning to open, you push up the bottom tab of the brass lock (located on the main bag) to release the large leather flap. Then to close, you push the hinge on the large leather flap down on the brass lock and it should just lock into place. When I pushed down the hinge would not lock into place. Tried several times but it didn't work. Unfortunately, I had to send back with regrets. Maybe you'll have better luck. .... and if so, you'll have a wonderful, timeless bag for years to come.
