Reviews for Kenneth Cole New York 15"/13" Single Gusset Top Zip Sleeve

I am something of a "bag freak" and love to own different bags for travel, work, etc. So I was very excited to see this bag from Kenneth Cole even though it is priced very highly.

Anyway, I excitedly opened my package and quickly discovered this thing isn't nearly worth your money.

First, the top (main) opening has a very short zipper, and while I can get my Macbook Pro inside, you must maneuver it a bit to fit it in. There is a padded compartment inside, but I don't even bother putting it in there. Takes too much time, so my laptop just ends up in the middle of the case.

Second, with such a short zipper, you can barely open the case wide enough to let in enough light to see to the bottom. Hard to find "stuff" that you put in. This alone is a royal pain to work around.

Third, the strap that comes with it has a small pad that is not usable when you shorten the strap to a useable length. I tried sliding the pad over the buckle after I shortened it, but alas, the pad is too skinny to slide over the buckle! So now, I have to use the shoulder strap with the pad useless and unusable.

It is a great looking bag, but mostly not user friendly. Too bad, because while it looks cool, you are sure paying the price for that.

My plan is to return it and keep my eyes open for a bag that someone actually thought through the design process.
