Apparel reviews of STORIA - Italian Leather Messenger Bag
Customer Review: Awesome bag!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is truly a beautiful bag! I got the classic dark leather, which is exactly the rich brown shown in the pictures. The leather has a wonderful grain that adds to the bag's character. The leather is thicker than I expected; while it is by no means stiff, it is not ultra-soft, ultra-thin butter leather. This is leather that will age well and last for many, many years. The zippers are matte silver metal so not only do they look great against the brown leather, they'll be durable. (The other hardware is the same type of matte/antiqued silver.) The bag is lined with a heavy khaki twill that is just a shade or two lighter than the strap. The cotton strap not only adds to the bag's uniqueness, it also keeps the bag from sliding when you bend over. (I wear it across my chest like a messenger bag.) Inside there are two small pockets on the divider separating the two sections of the bag. One is gusseted and works well for a cell phone (or items of a similar size) and the other is suitable only for small flat items such as business cards; I would have really liked for my iPod to snuggle in that second pocket but something that thick won't fit. The internal sections of the bag are large enough to hold a notebook, file or book but the bag is smaller than most of the other messenger bags I've tried because they were sized for laptops. I actually use it as a purse and it has plenty of room for all of my junk and the ubiquitous book. On the outside, each end of the bag has a pocket that has a vertical row of stitching bisecting it. This creates 2 tall, thin pockets where I keep pens; it would have been nice if one side didn't have that row of stitching so that it could hold larger items, but that's not a problem for me. The entire back side of the bag is another zippered pocket. On the front flap is a small zippered pocket that turns out to be a good home for a cell phone because you can get to it quickly without going into the bag. The magnetic closure on the flap is sufficiently strong. There are 2 magnets in the body of the bag and in the flap there is a metal bar running the width of the flap so you don't have to worry about lining up magnets to close the bag. I've had the bag only a few days and have already received compliments. Though the bag is pricey, it is obviously crafted with care from high-quality materials. It also has a very distinctive look. I am very happy with this purchase and have already added another Diongini bag to my Amazon Wish List!
