I've been eyeing one of the Carga felt wool bags for a while, like this one at Oak:

Has anyone seen one of these in person? What are they like? How's the construction and comfort? Does it seem practical? Dressy, or casual? I just can't get a sense of it from the pictures I've seen.

I think they look sweet. I saw them on Oak before and really liked the messenger bag, but not the price so much. Now I see they were marked down but sold out

I do wonder how well the wool would hold up, though.

To be diplomatic, it looks unusual. It's hard to imagine it working for a particular situation. Please don't wear such an accessory to the office.

I think it looks perfectly acceptable. In fact, it looks much better than those hideous cheap briefcases most office-folk carry.

Kinda cool, but like fogg I'd be concerned about durability if you tend to carry fairly heavy stuff (heavy books and the like, in my case).
