Tony Perotti 17-inch Zip-around Laptop Bag

I love the bag. it's very stylish, looks very high quality from distance. It fits my 17" macbook pro, a bit tight with the sleeves, but I can squeenz it in every time without too much of struggle. I gave it 4 starts for these reasons: 1, it fits a laptop up to 17", but there's no compartment or cushioning layer inside of the bag can secure the laptop, I had to order a sleeve to protect my laptop from being scratched, the put the whole thing into the bag. then it became too tight. I put the weight into the bag and hang it on a doorknob for a few days, it stretched a little bit then I can squeeze it in. 2, It isn't really an italian leather bag - it's made in China and is very poorly packaged. at one side of the bag, there's a flaw right in the center, although I'm a bit near sighted and i tend to pretend others do not see it either... I guess it's not that noticeable so didn't bother to return or exchange. it has a very strong smell right out of the package; I put it in the bathroom with windows open for the first 2 days. 3, the shoulder strap doesn't work at all... There's hook at one side of the bad but not the other - the shoulder strap was shipped but there isn't a way to put it on... oh well. I wasn't plenty it carrying it on my shoulder anyway, I drive every where so mostly if I have to carry it it will be sit in my car then short distance carrying in my hands; for those who take the bus and carry it for a hour or 2 each day, by hand, this will kill people. it is a poor design... proof packaging, regardless it's a very attractive product. Overall I'm very happy with it once I figured out how to make it work for me. hope you can too.

This is an amazing laptop bag - I am very happy with my purchase. I will advise you to check the measurements of your laptop. My Dell Latitude E6400 (13.2" wide) fits perfectly. My Sony Vaio VPCE31FX (14.5" wide) is about 1/2" too wide for the padded laptop pouch. But the Vaio fits in the briefcase outside of the padded laptop pouch (which does not seem to be removable). Quality is top notch, beyond my expectations.

Excellent product. Looks better in person. Very nice workmanship. This is a very well made bag with great appeal. The pictures don't do the product justice. I would recommend to my friends. I was able to fit an HP 17 inch laptop in the bag.

I love the color of the bag and the overall look of it. The bag just isn't big enough for my computer, which is a 17in. computer and that 's what i was looking for. I was only looking for a bag to fit my laptop, but instead was mislead. I now have to find another laptop bag to carry my laptop in for school.
