Knomo Unisex-Adult Curzon Travel Shoulder Bag

Very good quality item, well designed, good quality fabric, well made, very practical and looks great too.

I love this bag and highly recommend it as a multi-use laptop+ bag for taking to the office and for travel. - The pockets! This is made for the pocket lover. There is one big inside zipper pocket, as well as two zipper compartments on the outside (one has two zippers leading to it, which is odd, but looks nice). The second outside zipper compartment is hidden, and is a great spot for a phone, wallet, etc. The inside compartment is just big enough for a Dell XPS15 15" laptop (9550), a book or two, a couple of files, and a small purse. The laptop compartment is barely padded, so I keep mine in a slim case. - The straps are long enough to wear over the shoulder, and fold over nicely when not in use. - The exterior has clean lines and is easy to keep clean. - The interior color (red) seemed a little ridiculous, but it makes finding things in the bag really easy. - It feels really light compared to my comparable leather bags! A couple things I would change if I would: - There's no easy way to to attach to rollerboard suitcase (I use the arm straps, but it's not very secure) - Every pocket has the same depth, which I think decreases their usefulness, as everything sits next to each other at the bottom of the bag Overall: This is the best I've found in its category, and I'll be buying another one for my frequent-traveling mom as a birthday gift!

I absolutely adore the Curzon and have already had multiple compliments. I originally bought both the KNOMO Mayfair and the KNOMO Curzon to compare the two as I didn't know which one would suit my needs best. The Curzon won hands down. First, its smaller than the Mayfair (important when you are petite as I am), much lighter (which was important for me as I like carrying everything with bar the kitchen sink) and can still fit all my essentials. The shoulder straps are also a lot more comfortable than the Mayfair and its fire-engine red lining gives the bag a sassy and fun element. I was not keen on ordering a black bag - so boring- but when I received the Curzon, I fell in love with it immediately. The champagne zippers also add a lovely classy touch. I usually favour leather bags as I prefer the quality of leather but on this occasion the Curzon won me over. The only potential downside is that the bag is not expandable - extra space is handy to have on occasion. Its cousin, the KNOMO Grosvenor Place, does expand but was out of stock at the time.

Beautiful bag but it is a little heavy. Also it leans to one side and gets annoying when carrying it around.

I bought this and the Mayfair Nylon Grosvenor with the plan to send one back. An advantage of the Curzon is the top of the bag can be fully closed - protecting your laptop from the elements much better than the Mayfair Nylon Grosvenor. The downside is it is harder to get things out of the Curzon. The Grosvenor has 2 features missing from the Curzon: there is a slot for your roll-aboard/ suitcase handle, and the back pocket accommodates letter paper. In the end I chose to keep the Mayfair Nylon Grosvenor.

From a design perspective, this bag was exactly what I was looking for. Nicely organized inside and out! However, what is doesnt do is stand up on its own, literally. A reinforced bottom with legs and a slighly more durable exoskeleton could take this bag from good to great.
