From a company well known for its quality, the Kenneth Cole Reaction Luggage Show Business is probably one of the top rated laptop bags as a whole, leather or not. It has a rating of over 4 out of 5 stars by over 150 reviewers at the time of this writing.

Made from 100 % full grain distressed leather, this stylish messenger-style is not only a good looking bag, but to be one of the most practical bags you can find.

The first front pocket unzips to an organizational panel for things like pens, phone and other essentials you need to access quickly. The main compartment has two sections. On one side is a padded laptop sleeve that should hold most laptops with up to 15.4 inch screens, but also has a strap to hold even smaller laptops securely.

The section next to the front has three open pockets conveniently to store your mouse, power supply, and cables, plus other stuff in the free area. There is also a second small, but still large zippered compartment towards the back for all your files and another document separately.

Features:

• Rich, full grain cowhide leather exterior with double gusset, flap-over construction, secure tuck-lock closures and fully lined interior

1. Good quality leather has a warm feel and wears well. This quality gives leather laptop bags a soft natural glow even after repeated use, as the bags age well, getting a well-worn look the longer you have them.
   
   I like knowing that if the leather gets damaged for any reason, it is relatively easy to repair the damage by using restorative methods or giving it to a professional to restore or replace the section affected.
   
   
   
2. The stitching should be done with a good quality thread and should be even and firm. The thread color can either blend with the leather or be in a contrasting color.
   
   
   
3. You should make sure to check all the hardware. Hardware includes the zips, the d-rings, buckles, etc.
   
   Good zips are pretty easy to check. A quality zip that is strong and opens and closes smoothly, most will either be made of metal or a quality sturdy plastic. D-rings and buckles are best if made of cast stainless steel or brass, as opposed to pressed or the cheaper zamak (a zinc alloy.)

While this depends on your needs, you can confidently choose from the following as they are some of the best leather laptops you can find on the market.
