This has never been used. I was going to use it for work but now I think the Filson 257 might be more appropriate for the environment (hospital floor....). The only "defect" is a cut on the surface layer of the leather on the underside of a handle - it only involves the surface layer and the leather is thick so it will not cause any structural or weight bearing problem. Based on my experience as a leather worker, it will not go deeper either, and since it's on the underside, it's not noticeable. A lot of cowhides actually have this type of cut but you'd never know it if a bag has lining. According to research, Jean Shop washes the leather so it has a slightly aged appearance. It has two-way RiRi zippers - nice!
