The quality of the leather is amazing! I have received numerous compliments on the bag. I think the bag could be even more elevated looking if the strap was replaced with the one more indicative of the Marcello bag. Great work, Late to Work! I’m coming back for more.
Love that the leather’s been turning heads for you! Really value your feedback on the strap, always helps us improve. Can’t wait to see you back for your next piece.
Great quality work bag. I love the shiny leather. The strap is a little on the short side so it doesn’t quite fit on my husband. It’s fits my 16inch laptop as advertised! It is thin so it won’t fit a large thermos. it works well for me since I don’t want a bag that is too large and wide for my frame but still fits a large laptop. Highly recommend!
Appreciate the detailed feedback. We’re actually working on extending the strap so it’s a better fit for taller people too!
Love it! Really nice quality. Thanks!
This bag went above and beyond my expectations! I have been in the market for a bag that could fit my laptop and searched high and low for the perfect match. I am very proud to say that this bag is everything I could have wanted— and more :)
Well crafted, thoughtful design, so unique, and amazing quality, I truly believe I will use this bag for a lifetime. How can an item be so trendy and hip and timeless at the same time?! The leather is soft, the zipper runs so smoothly, and the deep brown is perfection. My friend saw it, commented on its beauty and said it had “the perfect amount of slouch”. I couldn’t agree more!
You might be thinking about getting this bag, I did too! It wasn’t an impulse buy for me! But coming from the other side, I can assure you you will be so happy to have landed on this one, I know I am :)
That’s such a great review - honestly, we couldn’t buy a better one if we tried!
We’ve always wanted to focus on both quality and style, creating pieces that work with any outfit and outlast all the trends. So happy to hear this bag is doing exactly that for you, and thanks heaps for taking the time to share!
Love the bag it's the perfect size for work but I love how it's unstructured enough to be slouchy when not full for a casual everyday use.
I like that it has internal pockets and the finishing is high quality and the leather is very smooth and soft.
Sounds like it’s hitting that sweet spot between work-ready and casual. Glad the pockets, finish, and smooth leather are all working for you. Appreciate you sharing the love!
Absolutely beautiful bag, great quality and perfect size I’ve had so many compliments
Love hearing it’s been a compliment magnet for you. Thanks for showing it off out there!
It looks just like the pics on the website, but shinier. Definitely thinking if I should get the black one as well. One little thing about the item is the buckle sometimes come out of the loop, so I've been using a oversized paper clip to stable it lol
Love that the shine’s an added bonus in real life. Thanks for sharing your buckle hack and for the support. Black might just have to be next on your list ;)
I love this bag! Elegant, well-balanced to wear, and you can fit much more than you think in it. Very happy with it!
So happy to hear it’s working perfectly for you! Love that it’s elegant but still fits everything you need. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BAG!
it literally exceeded all my expectations. It looks like a 5k bag for the fraction of a cost. I would definitely buy a brown one now to add to my collection.
We totally get the struggle of finding a quality, fair-priced work bag, and that’s why we started this brand. Your review means a lot - so glad we made you feel that way! Stay tuned, we’ve got more exciting releases coming your way soon.
I did not expect how LIGHT the bag would be and I’m gagged!!! It’s so chic and versatile and works when worn on the side and crossbody. Love that the strap can be tucked into the sides. Nice pockets within.
The ONE thing I wish it had — which I’ll DIY — are bag studs for bottom protection.
Cool hack with the DIY studs, love the creativity. Sounds like it’s already become your go-to bag!
I bought the bag for my daughter birthday and she loved it. Thanks we love the material and finishing on the product too.
That’s so lovely to hear — happy birthday to your daughter! Thanks for choosing us for such a special gift.
Love the bag because of its decent and spacious size + two compartments to store your loose items! Straps are interchangeable so you can style it whichever way you like based on your outfit.
Sounds like you’ve got it matching every outfit! So glad the size and compartments are working perfectly for you. And yes, swapping straps is such an easy style win.
Bag is sooo cute and high quality! Love it!
Glad you’re loving the vibe and quality - that’s what we’re here for!
Finally bought a work bag last week and love it. Here’s some pros and cons for people considering buying the runaway bag:
Pros:
- Looks great! Super soft leather, seems really well made. Great all around versatile bag.
- Fits a decent amount. I can fit my 13” laptop + charger, small umbrella, small food container, a book, a small water bottle and pens/keys/wallet etc in the 2 side pockets. I would not be able to fit much more than this.
Cons:
- A bit smaller than I expected (it fits a 13” MacBook BUT take into account the case size because with a fatter case the magnet struggles to close and the laptop may not fit)
- the magnet is quite weak in that if you put enough stuff in it the magnet won’t stay closed
Thanks for the honest rundown, really helps others get the full picture. Good call on the laptop case size and magnet - super useful for us to improve in the future. Glad you’re loving the look and feel overall!
Loves the look and the feel of the bag. I also love how versatile the bag is is so I can wear it with almost anything.
Versatility is key - glad it’s fitting into your style so easily. Thanks for sharing!
I never review things… but honestly this is the perfect bag, thank you! It’s impossible to find a good looking bag that fits a laptop!!
Can totally relate to the hunt for a laptop bag that isn’t boring. It’s exactly why we started the brand in the first place. So good to know this one’s doing the job for you.
I love this bag :) I got the brown version and the color goes with everything I have. It fits my 13 inch laptop, charger, Tupperware, it’s the perfect work bag. I’m a bit taller so finding crossbody bags that fit comfortably can be hard, this one really pulled through. Not mention it’s very stylish and the waxed leather feels very durable and of great quality. I got another bag from here after seeing the quality of my first one.
Brown was such a good pick - it really does go with everything. So glad it fits all your work stuff and works for your height. And huge thanks for coming back for a second one! 🙌
This is my second purchase from Late to Work.
All i can say is the Kite lives up to its hype. my favourite quality is the sheen of the bag - and the material is truly luxe, and durable. The bag is also structured enough to carry as a crossbody, whilst also retaining some lax to carry as a shoulder bag. The rivets add a bit of style, though maybe not for everyone. Love!
Second bag club - we love to see it! The sheen and structure on the Kite really do hit different. Thanks for backing us again, seriously means a lot. ❤️
I love this bag. The feeling of the leather and the way it shines makes me feel great about carrying it around.
I love the details in how it is put together. The silver studs in the handle elevate the bag from something casual to a real premium fashion item.
I would love a slightly longer handle because I am taller but that is just my personal preference.
So glad the leather and those silver studs are doing it for you - they’re little details but make a big impact. Noted on the handle length too, appreciate the feedback x
Ive had my bag for over a week now, allowed the leather to wear in and soften up and I absolutely love it. It feels luxurious, it is stylish, and fits more than you would think. I normally try and rotate my everyday/casual/work bags but I cant help but rocking this everyday!
Love to hear it’s become your go-to! Real leather only gets better with time 😎 Appreciate you making it part of your everyday lineup
This has been a great purchase, strap is the perfect length for the bag to sit comfortably on your side. Stopped twice in Brooklyn to be asked where it is from. Works perfectly formal or casual. I always cycle socially, and the bag is great for it.
Getting stopped in Brooklyn? That’s a solid win. So glad it works for both cycling and going out, best of both worlds. Appreciate you taking it everywhere.
Love the quality and little touches the bag js so worth the price very keen to see the business grow
So glad you’re loving the quality and details! Means a lot to have your support. Can’t wait to have you back for the next one. ✌️
Took this out for its first spin last weekend and put in my various university notebooks, pens, iPad etc. and it held everything I needed very well, looked great and wasn’t too heavy.
The worst thing is when a bag is heavy before anything goes in, and this bag is not.
Great supple leather which smelt great when unpacking for the first time.
Yes to a bag that actually carries your stuff without weighing you down! So glad the leather, look and feel all hit the mark. Hope it keeps making your uni days a bit smoother.
