It arrived packed in a very small box. The package also included a small card with a photo of the craftsman who worked on this bag (nice touch!). This is a really unique one-of-a-kind product. The color and design are really nice. It's well made and comfortable to carry. The quality is exceptional, and sewing is top notch. I really like the pop of color on the front pocket lining and it's one of the best linings I've seen. It's soft and buttery Namibian leather with some small blemishes that only add to the genuine look of the leather and only gets better over time. Overall, this bag expresses this "premium" feeling and impression.In general, I like this bag. It's relatively small (it's much smaller than pictured!), but perfect for a gym, going to a beach or a one-day short trip. This duffel bag is recommended for those who travel light. It's a bit on a heavy side itself due to thick, buttery-soft full-grain leather used to make it. However, it is not suitable for long multi-day trips. It can fit a couple of complete sets of clothes and some minor accessories tops. That's one pair of shoes, one pair of jeans, and a couple of shirts. The handle is long enough to comfortably carry on my shoulder. The interior space is large enough to accommodate a 13-inch laptop without deforming the travel bag but fitting a 15-inch or larger might be problematic. The exterior pocket is large enough to fit a smartphone. I like that the lining can be removed and washed, but I would have preferred a non-Velcro attachment method. The brass YKK zipper has a smooth pull that can be opened and closed with one hand. The bag also includes two pairs of straps - one longer than the other. Both straps can be used as shoulder straps to accommodate different carrying heights, and one of them is removable.*** TL;DR ***Yes, I would recommend this bag to everyone who likes the style and premium feel of handcrafted genuine products. I don't really like the high price tag, but this is a really nice bag. Overall, this is a beautifully crafted classic bag. I plan to use it a lot in the future, and I hope this bag will give me many years of enjoyment. I only wish it could be a bit bigger and have extra pockets inside to better organize things, but that's minor compared to the great quality of this bag.
