Comments about Goodhope Bags Industries Goodhope The Dean Leather Messenger:

I've been looking for a bag like this for a long time. I was really excited when I found this one. Unfortunately, when I received the bag, it was the wrong color. The picture is a sleek, deep brown leather. The product color was "distressed brown" - which is what I would describe the picture as. However, when the bag came, it was a gray suede color. The colors are no not comparable and I feel like I was shown a high quality leather bag and then received something significantly cheaper looking. There's nothing brown about this bag. When I reached out to inquire as to why the color was so off, I was told that "distressed brown" means it could really come out as any color because of the distressing process. Well, then why would I buy the brown bag if in fact I'm buying the "mystery distressed" color?

Now I feel as though they've gotten away with something because the bag I now own is so egregiously different than the product I ordered. I don't usually write product reviews, but I felt like the least I could do was to let people know the bag will not come as advertised. If you're ok with that, then please order the bag and enjoy it.

Irvs Luggage Response: We apologize for the discrepancy between the color as it is described and the actual color when you received the bag. I do understand your frustration The distressing of the leather does alter the color, as well as causing there to be differences in color between bags. The process simply takes differently on each bag. It has been one of our best selling bags. We would be happy to refund you on this bag if you have not already returned it, and perhaps find you something else that is closer to what you are looking for.

A gray suede bag is fine if that's what you're paying for, which I was not when I ordered this bag, obviously. Beware!

Irvs Luggage Response: We apologize for the discrepancy between the bag as it was described and the bag you received. The distressed leather does appear somewhat like a suede, but really isn't. Depending on the how distressed the bag is, that could also affect the way the color appears. Again, we are sorry to have disappointed you.

Comments about Goodhope Bags Industries Goodhope The Dean Leather Messenger:

I was looking at this bag for about a month before buying it. I was afraid of the reviews that said the strap ripped after only a few months. I figured that I just wont put too much weight on it. I don't like the shoulder pad; its too bulky it should have been removable. Other than that it's beautiful. My husband loves it he thought I bought it for him. I have gotten a few compliments and it is very roomy. Lets see if the strap last, anyway I can always get it fixed.

Comments about Goodhope Bags Industries Goodhope The Dean Leather Messenger:

It is an attractive bag, a unique style and more attractive than most "messenger bags" I have seen.

But, for me, the best feature is the various compartments, five including back pocket and not counting small side zip pocket.

It has a nice attractive quality lining.
