My wife had bought me a messenger bag on a visit to Morocco, and in time and with heavy use the bag disintegrated. Finding a like-for-like replacement has proved impossible, but this is the closest thing. Seems well made, lining is thin but serviceable, colour is more orange than pictured. My biggest problem is the smell: to put it crudely, it smells like vomit. Perhaps infused in transit. Airing it in the sun for several days hasn't worked, nor has cleaning it with leather cleaner. In summary: beautiful but stinky.
