Contemporary clean look with this backpack from the "One Touch Collection" complete with top zip and flap for added security. The first thing I appreciated was the size of the bag. It holds everything! The cell phone side pocket is the perfect size for my phone. I also love the rich brown color. I had to go out and buy some brown shoes to match. The bag is comfortable on my back, and holds all of my necessities. I plan to purchase one in black when I have some extra money! The bag is durable and stylish! I''''ve just recently purchased my second Tignanello bag from us, it is just as described, WONDERFUL! I love the soft leather and fabric lining, the quality and workmanship are great too. One thing about this about this particular bag that I think they should share on the description is the size of the side cell pocket! I read in a previous testimonial that it is small, but that person did not mention the dimensions. They are from top to bottom (exterior) 5 inches, and side to side at the bottom 2 1/8".

I have had four other briefcases before this and this is the best because it is light and not too bulky, but it can expand alot when you stuff it. I took it on a trip to spain with the matching 22 inch upright carry-on suitcase (see my other testimonial on that one), and it works great with that. You can put the handle up through the flap on the back and carry them together, or you can strap it on the back of the suitcase (I prefer the latter, it balances the load perfectly and it is easier to take off everytime you go through security). The strap is comfortable and the bag lays nice and flat when it only has my computer in it. Looks great too!

Although the bag is highly rated for the four items above, the most significant drawback is the weakness of the handle and roller system. The bag is very large and can hold alot of items. Because the construction of the sides is fabric material, weight distribution causes problems with the effectiveness of the roller. The bag easily gets off balance and twists and turns while rolling. This bag has worked out well. Since it is just a huge open duffel type bag, you can fill it to it''''s capacity with just about anything, and it holds quite a lot. The only poor aspect of the construction is that there is no skeletal support of any kind, so the bag is limp and collapsed until you fill it up. I''''m extremely happy with this bag. I have a smaller piece in the same series, so I knew its construction would be sturdy. It has a great look, holds vast amounts of clothing and gear (even my oversized diving fins), and I''''m confident that it''''s not going to fall apart when being thrown around. I would definitely recommend this piece.
