I have a backpack for just about every occasion. Photography, tools, computer repair, laptop, hiking, biking, camping. I honestly probably have about 10-15 backpacks that all get used on a regular basis depending on what I'm doing that particular day. When I got this one (at a discount), I honestly expected a little bit more out of it based on the price, but it is.... mostly well built, so I guess the price is justified. I say mostly, because one of the snaps that keeps one of the side pockets closed fell off in the first week of having it, but all in all, this isn't a bad backpack, even if it is the second smallest one I have. What this backpack is not, is a specialty backpack. It might hold a few books, so it could work for college students, but it really isn't meant to hold a camera, hiking equipment, or anything else really. What I use this backpack for is a general day use. I have been taking it to work for a few months now, and I keep a change of clothes, a notebook, some pens, my phone charger, snacks, and a lockpick set, and it's at capacity. It serves that purpose perfectly, and it is well built. When I got it, it smelled very much like glue, rather than leather, but it has held together very nicely. having everything I have in it has been useful at times, my only complaint is the functionality. It's not the most practical when I need to carry more than one backpack, when I can fit everything I put in this one, in every single one of my other backpacks. But if I'm just going to a theme park, or a nice leisurely stroll, or even on a date, having this bag fits my purpose, and I guess that's what matters. It is also a very attractive looking backpack, even if it is a little smaller than I thought it would be, so definitely no complaints there, I enjoy showing it off, because an all leather backpack isn't something you see every day.
