Fossil Estate EW Messenger Bag

I've been using a Fossil messenger bag for years and replaced it with this one only because I needed a more rigid bag with some internal structure (good amount of pockets). This bag has that and is a beautiful bag, but it's too rigid and too heavy. I had hoped the leather would soften and relax some, but 6 + months later and it has not. Much as I like certain aspects of it, it's too heavy and unwieldy to be my everyday bag and I'm replacing it with an LL Bean canvas bag which will be more rigid than my cloth Fossil but less rigid and lighter than this bag. I'm keeping this bag with the hope that over time and with conditioning it may yet relax.

Even though I loved every single aspect of it (The quality leather, the strap, the iPad pocket), the only problem I have with it, it's that my computer wont fit in the laptop pocket. (Actually any 15" laptop that it's not an ultrabook wont fit).Still the laptop lasts 3 years, hopefully this bag will last me forever.

I love this bag! Fossil makes great products but this bag is my favorite! I travel for work and I can fit all I need for meetings and presentations in this bag. I'm a girl and although this is a man's bag, the style and fit are right for me!

Great bag for the price. Soft leather is lighter in weight than my previous Coach bag. Plenty of room inside with a good sized zippered pocket & 3 open pockets for glasses, etc. My only gripe is it doesn't have a handle but then it wouldn't be a messenger bag.

absolutely love this. it is so cool looking . my husbands, he feels its a little big but i felt the smaller one was to small. which it was. he's loving it. its so rich looking

very nice bag

Very nice!

Was a gift, turned out to be extremely nice!
