 "Great case for road warrior" 2010-03-07
By M. roberts (park city ut)
After a million air miles, my andiamo case was killed by China Eastern airlines and andiamo (the company) was no more. so sad, I loved their roller bags.



so after much research, I decided to try the Briggs and Riley transcend.. I like it.. a lot.

It rolls very well, the handle is a comfortable length which reduces arm strain especially when you clip in second carry on.. it doesn't fight the front weight.



and it fits in most overheads, unless the size police are over zealous.



the case itself doesn't add as much weight as some of the other cases reviewed.



One added advantage, the removable front net- I put my laptop and "quart bag" here as I head to security.. makes it easy to pull out with less fumble and shoulder strain then keeping everything in tote/computer bag. Caution: remove laptop before putting in plane overhead .. if you tip the case the wrong direction, the laptop slides out.



the case is Expandable if you need more room or things "grow" during your travels.



I'm still learning how to pack it tight without over expanding, but that will come with time.

 "Not quite as great as my last Briggs & Riley" 2009-06-10
By Michael Morris (Santa Rosa, CA United States)
My old Briggs & Riley carry on finally began to look very sad and frayed after years of use and I hated to part with it. But it always was a little heavy and the light weight of this design was appealing. I travel a lot and use this exclusively for business travel. The following comments are based on at least ten trips with it. First, it is very light and the telescoping handle is typical Briggs & Riley: very solid and functional. The construction of the zippers is very solid also. The bag is slightly larger than my last one and on some planes it is a very tight fit in the overhead bin. This is one of those bags that fits better if you push it in handle-first with the wheels toward you. There is a handle between the wheels that will let you pull it out easily. It is not a great bag for a suit although there is a folding garment section that will hold one if you don't mind doing a little restoration at your destination- i.e. steaming it in the bathroom. I think this would be the ideal bag for people traveling light and casual on trips lasting a few days. Not a vacation bag and not an ideal business bag. Of course, B&R make a more expensive bag that would probably meet all my business needs, but it is much heavier.

 "Just the Ticket" 2008-11-02
By D. Fetterman (New York)
We travel several times a year. My husband bought one two years ago. I finally broke down and bought my own. What was I waiting for????? It is great. All the features and more. Perfect for long or short trips with great features for todays airline travel - pockets, storage, access, and still fits in the overhead.

 "Perfect carry-on bag" 2008-09-04
By Richa Cook (VA, USA)
Awesome discovery. Loved this bag. Just made for hectic, quick travel and has so many nice features to make the travel easy. Good looks and just the right carry-on size. I love it.

 "Light, thoughtful design and quality" 2008-04-06
By David B. Hare (Cleveland, Ohio USA)
Great product. My wife overloaded it with purchases from our vacation and we used the expandable zipper that worked very well. The zippers are made from quality materials. I love the compartments as they are obviously well thought out and the exterior is durable, doesn't show dirt and is abrasion resistent. The pull handles as well as the other handles are ergonomically designed and work well. I would consider buying this brand again.

 "Great for larger laptops, school" 2010-02-26
By Parin Mehta (Charlotte, NC USA)
This is a great backpack for carrying around bigger laptops. Fits 16" screens comfortably. Keep in mind it is pretty big and can really carry a load. Also there are a lot, zippers and storage pockets - great for organizing everything you have to carry around. Well-built and well-designed.

 "Smart Design & Good Quality" 2010-02-25
By P. Howey
I purchased this pack after an extensive search for a replacement bag. I use this bag for work, and carry it every day. I am an architect, so I carry a lot of "stuff" with me every day: Digital camera, a couple calculators, flashlight, a 30 foot retractable steel tape, a 100 foot steel tape, a small first aid kit, screwdrivers, multi-tool, circuit tester, marking tape, lots of pens and pencils, umbrella, several notebooks, an insulated lunch bag, a couple of architectural and engineering scales (about 13" long),11x17 drawings (typically 2-3 projects of 20-50 sheets each), and occasionally larger rolls of drawings (24x36 or 30x42 - sometimes up to 5-6 rolls of 20-50 sheets each), and occasionally my Kindle or a laptop too. I'd say on an average day I carry 15 pounds of gear, and fully loaded, probably carry close to 40. The capacity of this bag is amazing, even though it doesn't look that big unloaded, or partially loaded.

The straps are quite comfortable, although I am of large build and with a heavy winter coat I approach the end of the strap extension. I would expect that this would not be an issue for most people, however. Even when fully loaded, I found this to be one of the most comfortable packs I've tried. The pack has a bottom pouch, where I store some heavy and durable items, like tape measures and the first aid kit. I don't worry so much about these items getting damaged, or even getting wet, but the bottom of the bag isn't particularly level, and the bag tends to slump or tip more than I'd like. I tried other loads in the bottom, and nothing at all, and found the tipping was only exacerbated. The design has a good center of gravity for carrying, just not for sitting on the floor. I carry this bag on the train daily, stow it in my car and under my desk, but it frequently goes to construction sites with me. The lack of extraneous hooks, loops and straps make it much safer and easier for me to carry in construction zones than most packs of similar volume, which is a big plus.

One of the most convenient features was a small zippered pouch that sits just below the top handle. I expect that the designer had in mind that this would be a useful place for a media player... and it probably would be, if I used one. My use is to give me ready access to thumb drives, extra memory cards for my camera and similar small and sensitive electronics. In my previous bag I never had a convenient location like this, and given that I access these items several times every day, it is a real boon.

What would I do differently to improve this model? I'd add a removable waist strap - I typically walk 2-3 miles a day with this pack on, and when fully loaded, I'd like the ability to share the load with my hips more. I like the top pouch so well; it might be nice to have two up there, and one with a sleeved connection to the exterior, so if you wanted to connect ear buds to a media player you wouldn't need to leave the pouch partly open. I'd also consider a flatter bottom, possibly rubberized to improve stability and durability of the bottom of the pack. Would I buy another of these packs, even without these suggested refinements? Absolutely.

 "Very organized and well thought-out pack" 2010-01-16
By BGBR (Minneapolis, MN USA)
This pack is great for students, business people, and day hikers- anyone on the go. The pack has three main compartments, all of which have lots of pockets, dividers, and organizing aids inside. There are also two exterior water bottle pockets, and a bottom zippered compartment which is very convenient. This thing can pack a lot of stuff, and keep everything very well organized. If you can't fit your stuff into this pack, you either need a huge hiking backpack, or a suitcase. For the price, you can't beat it, and my experience with Jansport packs is that they have been very durable and reliable (and they have a lifetime warranty). All the quality and features of much higher priced "professional" packs, at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended.

 "Fairly satisfied" 2009-12-19
By Manoj K. Chavali (san jose, Calif.., USA)
Jansport brand is a good one.

This particular bag I thought would have a spongy finish at the bottom which would protect my laptop which is not the case. Could keep more pockets for the small items to carry. The quality is O.K. and the look is pretty awesome. Can handle my 17 inch lappy perfectly. The cost I got it for would justify the product but could improve its basics. My guess for the product is that it could last for a good time easily. Lots of room for a college student to carry some extra stuff(not books on a whole). I would give it 3 and half points out of 5. Lovely bag but with couple of drawbacks.

Never mind at my GRAMMAR.

 "Great pack for those with lots of things to stash" 2009-10-16
By B. Gumm (Maryland)
I recently purchased this backpack, and after using it for a few weeks, I have to say that it's a great pack for those with lots of things to stash. I use it to carry my lunch, book-of-the-week, work materials, etc. as I commute to and from work in the Washington, DC, metro area. I also used it during a recent march/rally in DC, and it was wonderful for toting multiple coats, water bottles, cameras, food items, and more.



I'm also impressed with the shoulder padding, the light weight of the pack itself, and the fact that it's far more water-resistant than my last JanSport backpack. I think the only feature I'd add is a flatter bottom so that I could prop the backpack upright in various situations.



Overall, a great backpack and an excellent value!

 "I love JanSport" 2010-03-15
By Scott Stoddard
I continue to buy JanSport backpacks. I bought my first one in college and I still use it. I bought this one now that I own a laptop and I love it. I've gotten many compliments on how it looks. The laptop is held securely in place and I have plenty of room left over for anything else I want to throw in there. Ergonomics are excellent and it is padded in all the right areas. I highly recommend this.

 "Bare bones backpack" 2009-12-13
By Stephanie K (Pensacola, FL)
This bag is perfect for those who need to pack large items such as books, clothing, etc. however there are not enough small compartments to accomodate smaller items and keep them organized.

 "The perfect Back Pack" 2009-12-13
By Deep (LA, USA)
This bag is the best backpack I could ever get, It satisfies all the requirements. It is spacious,

yet looks trendy in black. The Laptop pouch is perfect for my 15'' laptop which I used to find

difficult to fit in other backpacks. Most importantly It makes sure that my shoulder doesn't hurt

even if I carry it for many hours at a stretch. I love this bag!....I got size Null, though there

is a size 1, It would be better if they clarify what that size means.

 "Too good for an even better price!" 2009-12-04
By Sukriti Ragunath (Los Angeles, CA USA)
Bought this bag after a bit of searching in Amazon. I was looking for something to carry my 15" ThinkPad, along with books and my thermos to college everyday. I have a fifteen minute walk (one way) and this bag feels great on the shoulders. Accessible tiny compartments in the front pouch ensure that your rummaging-about-for-your-keys days are over!I bought the blue ridge though I'd suggest the black looks the best.I raved about this bag so much that two of my friends have bought it and they love it too. Finally the price is great and the bag is functional. I hope to carry it when I travel too. I have a 400D Digital Rebel ad I chose this bag because another reviewer said she could fit in two SLRs and a laptop and other stuff! I rated this with 5 stars!

 "Excellent product" 2009-11-06

 "Great for traveling with winter coats!" 2009-12-08
By L. Slagle
I am using this product to compress our winter coats so we can have more room in our bags. I tried this out last night and it works like a charm! I now have lots more space to work with in my suitcase! I first saw this in a travel magazine for a much higher price so I'm glad I was able to find it here for cheaper! Thanks for a great product & a great deal!

 "Great for traveling light" 2009-09-11
By A. Bolt (New York, NY USA)
These were really useful for packing up dirty clothes while I was traveling, both to keep them away from the clean stuff and to keep them from taking up too much space. And they were also great for squeezing my bulky jacket into my bag when I was traveling in warmer climates. The medium/large set worked well for me.

 "It failed after boiling a single cup of water." 2010-03-13

 "For tea lovers" 2010-02-06
By ETG (Denver, CO)
This is a must have for travelers who love tea. While it takes a few minutes for the tea cup water to boil, it's much faster and cheaper than waiting for room service to bring you hot water for which you must tip! The little clip at the top keeps the heater from toppling over. And it's so small it fit easily in my suitcase. And to think I was considering buying a small tea kettle for my trip. A quick rinse under cool water and you can place it on the counter. I'm going to get one for my husband and friends who travel.

 "Almost Perfect, Just A Little Small" 2010-02-01
By Sean M. Shreve
This product has plenty of space for most of your toiletry needs. The only issue that I had was that it was not as big as I expected it to be. I can not fit my Vaseline body lotion inside for example, and that was the one and only disappointment with this product. Has a hanging hook that is wonderful and the elastic straps inside do the job just fine, though they may be strained just a tad if you put a rather large bottle in them. Overall this is an excellent product except the space is smaller then expected. Also of note: I use this as a constant case rather then just for travel so I might have set my bar a little high.

 "Works good" 2010-01-17
By Larry J. Tatro (Howell, Mi United States)

 "This bag is great!" 2009-12-04
By S. Migdel (CT)
I have been looking for a toiletry bag that will fit both my husband and I's toiletries when we travel. Other bags wouldn't close, didn't have enough pockets to store items or were just too small. This bag holds all of our stuff and keeps it organized. It is a little big but it needs to be in order to hold as much as it does. Great purchase!

STORIA - Italian Leather Messenger Bag (Classic Espresso)

Buy Cheap STORIA - Italian Leather Messenger Bag (Classic Espresso)

Buy Low Price From Here Now

A unisex messenger bag for grown-ups. Forget stiff attaches or boring briefcases - with this leather messenger bag you don't have to sacrifice style and comfort by going all-leather.

Comes in three textures:
• Aviator - rough, crackle-textured split leather with a weathered look reminiscent of vintage aviator jackets - though the surface will soften with use. (Aviator caffe is a very dark brown ... so dark it almost looks black)
• Classic - 100% vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather with its unique surface and unmistakable aroma. Please note that wrinkles, tonal variations, and small blemishes in the leather are natural characteristics of this type of leather, as they are not buffed away to create an artificially even surface.
• Soft - split leather with a softer but slightly distressed look. The surface has a smoother texture that is not too"brushed" or nappy

Each leather bag is carefully crafted by hand in Cava de' Tirreni, Italy. Vincenzo and his small team of leather craftsmen at Dionigi are proud to be in a workship that carries a tradition of over 70 years. These folks don't believe in mass-production - in fact, they deliberately limit their production to ensure the highest quality and customer satisfaction. Only the best raw materials, the best designs and the best craftsmanship are good enough to create a Dionigi product.

Technical Details

- Handmade with genuine Italian vegetable-tanned leather
- Two main compartments measuring approx 2"x13 1/2"x9 1/2" interior each
- Large zippered pockets in front and back, and a small one on the magnetized flap
- Small accessory pockets on the sides and inside
- Comfortable strap with a modern look (adjustable in length from 25" to 46")

 "Beautiful, but the magnets are useless." 2010-02-16
By Adam L. Berenzweig (NYC)
The bag is indeed quite good looking, and I've had a number of compliments. But I disagree with the other reviewers who say that the magnetic flap is sufficient. In my opinion, they are completely useless and don't even hold the flap down when the bag is empty, let alone when slightly bulging.



My only other complaint is that the zippers are slightly sticky, but I'm hoping they'll loosen up with age.



Overall, I give it high marks for looks, and medium marks for functionality.

 "great bag, exactly what I was looking for" 2009-11-19
By M. Heller
The bag has just arrived. It looks even better than on pictures provided by the manufacturer. MacBook Pro (early 2008 model) fits very tightly, but WITHOUT standard Incase cover and MacBook (mid 2008 model) just fits well. Great bag, I really like it.

 "Beautiful bag" 2009-02-02
By potionsmaster (Storrs, CT)
As all of the other reviewers mention, this bag is beautiful. This bag feels even more expensive than its purchase price. The shoulder strap is made of "seat belt" material and can be quite slippery on a wool coat. If you have a laptop larger than a 15" MacBook Pro, it will not fit in this bag. Looking forward to many years with this bag!

 "Gorgeous and well-crafted" 2008-12-09
By Midwest Rider (Chicago, IL)
My daughter bought me one of these for Father's Day 2007 and I've been using it ever since. Although it's a push to get a laptop in it, it does fit. Most of the time I don't carry the laptop, just paperwork and books and personal et ceteras.



I read some earlier reviews that noted the too-small pocket inside, and the fact that both outside end-pockets were stiched down the middle. The manufacturer has responded and in my bag, the inside pockets are both large enought to carry a PDA or a man's wallet. I carry both, one in each pocket. And one outside end pocket is no longer center-stiched, making it large enough to hold my voice recorder or a compact-folding umbrella.



Both the flap zippered pocket and the back zippered pocket can be accessed without opening the bag and that makes it easy to get to car keys, or a cell phone.



The fit and finish are still beautiful 20 months into using it and look to stay so for quite a while. Absolutely wonderful quality!



If I had to pick one niggly, it would be that the strap is not detachable. I would like to throw it into the washing machine from time to time. That's about the only thing I wish was different.



As to price, well...yes, it's quite a bit more than a basic cotton twill bag, percentage-wise. And inflation has kicked in; the current price is about 30% more than my daughter paid in June 2007. But it's still less than three C-notes including shipping and you're going to have it forever. The manufacturer is improving the product and as far as I can tell from other reviewers who have needed it (I haven't) the customer service is great.



HIGHLY recommended -- worth every penny.

 "excellent quality & style" 2008-08-08
By Natalie (Dallas, TX)
I am very pleased with this bag. It is the perfect size for my 13" mac book. I have received multiple compliments on it as well. The leather is thick and of high quality. I have the brown leather one and the color is really nice. The canvas strap is very comfortable and stays put on my shoulder. There is a divider separating the internal compartment in to two sections which is good for keeping things organized. The magnets on the front aren't terribly strong, but this hasn't been a problem for me. I would expect a bag of this quality to cost much more than this. I would definitely recommend this bag.
