This is a pretty bag, not a functional one

I bought this bag in 2022 mostly for its appearance, and on that it gets a 5/5. This is an incredibly professional and attractive bag, good for pretty much any setting. Same with construction, this is built well and I have no doubt it will last. So if you think it will function well for you then you'll love it. I've never worried about a stitch or piece of hardware ever. But.... Other than that, this bag was designed incredibly stupidly. There's no laptop sleeve, and I knew that when I bought it but I didn't realize just how dumb that was until I tried using this as a work bag. I managed to make it work, I got a cover for my work laptop and its protected well enough, but not having one is just pretty dumb. This is a minor problem though, I could get over this. The top handle placement is something I cannot get over though. It is too stiff, not centered on the bag so carrying it by the handle is a bit awkward, and if you wear the bag on your back it slaps you with every single step. A handle needs to be out of the way and this one isn't. It actively makes me want to use the bag less because of how annoying it is. I genuinely want to cut this stupid thing off because of how much it makes me not want to use this bag. The flap also makes it way too annoying to use as an everyday bag. When I carry things, they are things I want to use. To use those things, I need to take them out of my bag. To take them out, I need to undo the flap buckle, then lift the flap over the bag, then undo the zipper, which is incredibly stiff. This is too annoying, I want to get to my stuff quickly. My only choice is to either not buckle the flap or keep the zipper open, removing ONE of the three steps I need to do to get my stuff. This defeats the whole purpose of having these closure options. Also, I am aware that using the zipper more will loosen the leather around it and make it less stuff, but I don't WANT to use it because its annoying now. Finally, the front pocket has zero dimension and eats up space in the bag. Because the bag is leather, using the front pocket makes anything you put into it take up more space than it should, effectively making the front pocket only good for papers or other incredibly slim items. Also just like with the top zipper, this one is incredibly stiff. I want to love this bag, I really do. I bought it because I like having nice things that look pretty, are ethically made, and will last. However, this bag was not designed by anyone who DOES anything, it was designed as an accessory. And if that is what you want then GREAT, you've got a kick ass bag. If I only ever took a laptop and some small odds and ends to work I'd love this thing, assuming I cut this stupid handle off in a way that wasn't ugly. But that isn't reality. If you want something you can actively use throughout the day, the Tac Sac is probably better. If you want to carry tech you had better make allowances for the extra padding you'll need to add yourself. If you want something to travel with you had better not need to put more than a few tech items in your personal item. If you want to carry even the slimmest of mirrorless cameras then for the love of god look elsewhere. This bag is bad, not badly made or bad looking or even badly priced, but its bad because it does nothing well other than look good, and that's not the only thing bags are for.

Amazing Bag!

Beautiful bag, great quality, and very well constructed. Seems very reliable and will be my go to bag from now on!

Jones 13

This is my third NutSac. I first purchased a Mag-Satch 11 to use on vacation. I never have enough pockets. I found it very convenient for holding my passport and travelers checks, along with my sunglasses and other various items. After finding out how useful this item was on vacation I decided to purchase the next larger size Satch 13. I did not carry it with me all of the time, but when I needed it, once again I found it very useful. Then came Covid. When Covid hit I used the NutSac extensively; carrying all types of items from hand sanitizer to extra masks. I now carry this bag wherever I go. My latest purchase, The Jones 13 just moved up my game to the next level. It’s an excellent bag, with excellent quality and craftsmanship. In the short amount of time carrying The Jones 13 I have received three compliments and inquiries. The Clipper is also a nice item as it fits neatly within the inside pocket. Thank you for asking.

Satisfied again.

You guys never fail to surprise me with new products. My new 13 inch n Lack tether shoulder bag is just what the doctor ordered. It carries all my “essentials” and then my “nice-to-haves.” I wonder what you’ll come up with next??

This bag offers a delightful soft-touch feel, making it a pleasure to handle. The zipper's smooth operation adds to the overall user-friendly experience, ensuring easy access.
