When it arrived, I was very pleased with the look of it, the feel. I rubbed it with mink oil to keep the leather smooth.
But it came a few weeks too late. I had paid for fast, expedited delivery, cause I wanted this bag for a trip as my carry-on bag. While the bag will be used at some future trips, even just an overnighter at my kid's, right now it just sits in my closet. So I can't jet really say how it packs up, carries, wears...
