The Barrington is a useful bag with nice curves, and its interior is very practical and well laid out. The quality of McKlein’s workmanship is excellent. I wound up trading this bag for its sibling the Evanston for two reasons. First, although the Barrington is big, by the time I got my laptop and other essentials in it, there was no room left for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” The Evanston is bigger. HP7 is still a right fit, but not impossible. The other reason (and this is hard to see in the photos) is that the sand-colored version has a very distracting — in fact, downright weird-looking — red trim on the edges. Not piping; it’s painted on. Also, the lining of the sand-colored bag was bright orange; I mean the color of a traffic cone. Which might be fine for some people, but I couldn’t stand it. The sand Evanston has a tan lining; much more subdued.

I almost spent twice as much for this bag in a department store, and luckily found it on Amazon! This bag is exactly how it’s shown in photo, very stylish and useful. I’ve receive so many compliments! I like that it’s not over-sized. Maybe a little heavy, but that’s how a sturdy laptop bag should be like. There are different compartments inside so you can organize your business cards, pens, cell phone, blackberry and more. I usually just hand-carry it, and the handles are very comfortable. I really could give this bag 10 stars!

I was so excited when I ordered this laptop bag. The picture looked like exactly what I was looking for. HOWEVER, when it arrived, it looked completely different than the picture. The aqua colored leather was accurate, but the bag was trimmed out in orange — yes, orange! and the inside lining was bright orange! I thought it was ugly and sent it back immediately!
