This is a top quality leather backpack that is very slim and light-weighted. I've been quite particular about my commuter backpack made out of leather; I travel to my office on foot or via subway, and don't like to carry a lot to office other than my Mac (14"), water bottle, notepad and a pen. And this is the perfect carrier for those minimialist items for the office. Again, it's very well made and the leather is top-knotch.
