\"Banner07\"Occasionally, potential customers ask us to compare V.T. full grain leather bags to those from Saddleback Leather Co., among others. We are always pleased to do so. However, on a second thought, we think that these customers would find more of an “objective” opinion, by hearing comments\/remarks from those who have first-hand experience with the beauty and functionality of their V.T. bags.

\n*\u00a0Dear Vagabond Traveler: I am a road warrior who purchased one of your bags probably 5\u20137 years ago. All I can say is…Wow! This bag is heavy duty and it gets compliments everywhere I go! I am an engineer who is required to make presentations in Owners\/Architects\/Engineers offices as well as visit job sites on a regular basis. My travels take me across the world, so I need a bag that can hold a lot of stuff, look great, and protect the cargo it is required to contain. This bag does it better than any bag I have ever had. Thanks, again. You make a tremendous bag! I love the weathered look it has developed over the years!

18″ \u00a0Leather Briefcase\/Backpack Bag, made fully of leather, top layer cowhide, suede internal. Model L06<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n* \u00a0Received my messenger bag and am very pleased with the quality (and price).\u00a0 I made a bracket and\u00a0hard-mounted it to the fender strut of my Harley for use as a solo saddlebag.\u00a0 Spent a lot of time looking through motorcycle accessory catalogs and websites but didn’t find anything\u00a0I really wanted on my bike, Plus H.D. wants an arm and a leg for anything with their logo on it.\u00a0 Color was too light for my taste so I spent a few hours rubbing Mink Oil into the leather, now it’s much darker brown and more weather-proof.\u00a0 Here’s a few photos of my new solo bag by Vagabond Traveler…

16.5″ Wide Leather Messenger Tote Bag, spacious internal pocket, lined with cloth; Model L51<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n* “A diamond In the Rough”
\nThis bag is made with thick leather. It’s tough, firm, and good-looking. The inside is lined with suede.It has a small interior pocket on one side, along with three pen holder loops on the other. There is a side pocket on either side of the exterior, about large enough to hold a Ti-89 sized calculator or a small water bottle. The shoulder strap comes with a second shoulder pad, which is for use when the strap is arranged so the bag can be worn as a backpack. Use this configuration when carrying heavier loads in the bag. There are many D-rings around the bag, presumably for those times when you need to strap it to the saddle on your camel as you trek through the Sahara Desert. They are handy for attaching things to the bag, such as a small sleeping bag…
\nMy friends now say that I look like a doctor from the old west when I use this bag.

\n*\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>I am a 35 year law enforcement veteran.\u00a0 Duty bags, equipment bags & office bags\u00a0 are extremely important to us in the police profession . . . and we look for versatility, endurance and longevity . . . I am here to say that I’ve tried numerous company’s leather bags (including Saddleback Leather) , and I have found Vagabond Traveler’s bags to meet our criteria, and exceed all others.\u00a0 I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse them to my colleagues.

\n*<\/strong> I am very happy to receive a very outstanding quality travel backpack\u00a0bag\u00a0and wallet. The quality was better than\u00a0Coach\u00a0cause I had products (bags, wallets, belts) from them. The\u00a0Coach\u00a0wallets did not last a year and so is their belt (only 6 months). The\u00a0Coach\u00a0bag\u00a0sags and could not stand on its own (compared to Vagabond’s). The only difference is that\u00a0Coach\u00a0bag\u00a0puts a lot of stain on them to cover the imperfections. In fact, all leathers do come with imperfection. As for the money, Vagabond is better will cost you half of what you pay to\u00a0Coach\u00a0for a backpack\u00a0bag and one fourth of a Coach\u00a0wallet.\u00a0 Now, I am ready to put the products through the stress tests and report later. Thank you.
