I have been looking for a solid quality doctor's bag for several year on many different websites/stores, and when I recently found this one, I knew that it was perfect for me. I think that this bag is new to Amazon because I checked Amazon every once in a couple of months for the doctor's bag selection, and only spotted this one several weeks ago, and ordered it immediately. The bag came in carefully wrapped in paper foam (thin foam sheet) and then wrapped in a plastic bag. The doctor's bag is made of fine smooth leather, that can be conditioned for gloss and water resistance. The metal fixtures are very nice and stylish, very similar in metal finish to the metal fixtures that Kenneth Cole shoulder bags for men had several years ago. The handle is very solid and form-fitting to the hand. The outer side (lock side) is more curvier that then back side of the bag, that featured a useful pocket with a Velcro closure, in which a small pocketbook or a notebook can be stored in. The main compartment flap comes with a lock, to which a flimsy 2-prong key is supplied with. Inside the main compartment there is a plenty room for all kinds of doctor stuff. There is even an extra pocket on the side that can be closed with a zipper. Up to 3 pens, pencils, pen lights or slim probes can be stored in the separate compartments on the side, as well as a couple of business cards in the provided translucent plastic pocket. I'm not a doctor - but I'll take a look.
