I love virtually everything about the MAB -- the style, size, leather, pockets, (I love satchels) and am smitten with pretty much every color in which it's offered. This bag fits my lifestyle needs so well. It wears well for work, with suits, with business casual, for when I'm dressed down or for evening dinners/theatre/events, etc. I also like that it's not too ornate -- with lots of "bells and whistles", if you will. It's simple styling is beautiful and somewhat timeless to me. It holds a lot but itsn't so large that I'm whacking people with it on a crowded subway.
