I purchased this unique bag for a recent business trip. It is solidly constructed and thoughtfully designed. A few things to consider: a) it's 90% leather, so it's heavy, even empty; b) I'm tall, but this bag is still too long to carry like a purse (it touches the floor), so you must carry it on your shoulder, or hold like a sack of groceries. Add an 11" Macbook Pro, a notebook, and minor purse accessories, I found it exhaustingly heavy. I wish it had a convertible back-pack option; c) This could almost be a weekender, it holds so much, AND it fits perfectly under the airline seat. A GIANT PLUS is the microfibre back with an opening at the bottom, allowing you to slip it over the handle of your rolling suitcase! And it stays without slipping, which is seriously fabulous. The brown color is boring, and I wish it had an inner clip for one's keys. Overall, though, I am happy I bought it. I was able to carry my mobile business in this bag w/o having to also carry a handbag. It comes with a 10 year guarantee and yes, you can register the warranty. I found it fairly priced (best on Overstock!) and know it will last forever. This same bag in heavy-weight, waterproof microfibre would be killer. Hmmmm......maybe I should write the Solo company a letter.....
