McKlein Laptop Bags

[ROGETRAY]

@nancybigford

So, I was about to pull the trigger on one of the Halsted bags. The photo is obviously a black bag, but in the description of the item it states “Material: Full Grain Oil Tanned Leather
Color: Brown”. So, where the pic of the actual brown item?! Ahhh I need to see the color ASAP before they sell out! I mean, are they that nasty red brown, or a nice dark chocolate brown?!

The specs have been changed. There is no color choice for the Halsted bag…it’s ONLY BLACK!

Hope this was helpful.

Sincerely,
Woot Staff

I have one that I’ve been using for about 3 years now. Mine’s not leather, it’s the nylon stuff, whatever they call it. It’s held up well, and I love being able to zip the wheels on and off. Most of the time I carry one laptop, and go light, carrying it as a shoulder bag, but there are occasions that I have to drag a second along, and therefore have two 17" laptops with me, and on those occasions, I am very thankful for the zip-on wheels.

Are these that much better than the cheap Targus laptop messenger bags my kids & I are using for our laptops? I will admit that they look classy (and I suppose the wheeled bit could be useful if one were big enough to double as an overnight bag), but are they more durable? Durable enough to justify charging the price of multiple Targus laptop bags for just one McKlein?

I hate McKlein. They claim a lifetime warranty on some bags, and I bought two. They don’t honor warranties! WARNING! Woot, send this S&^t back to McKlein… not worthy of a Woot!

Hello,

I’m really sorry that happened, but we at McKlein believe that it is important to honor our Warranty pledge. If you have a laptop bag and we did not honor your request for fixture, please feel free to contact us at (773)235-0600 and we will make it our point of duty to take care of you!
Thank you,

I got one last time, kind of pleathery and not amazing, the strap is janky and the bag is overall, pretty poorly made. It’s nowhere near a $250+ value. I also own Tumi stuff, it’s VASTLY superior.

Sometimes we get what we pay for…

Hello,

We have many customers who are extremely satisfied with their purchase. If we did not meet your needs, we apologize. Please feel free to contact us with a claim and we will work with you.

Why don’t these “Ladies” bags come in 17"? What’s a lady with a big laptop to do?

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry! Our bags fit up to 17".

I bought two of these bags from Amazon a while ago. They were in a cool color, which I’m sad to see isn’t a woot option here. One is wheeled, one is a shoulder for shorter trips.

I’ve been using them for three years now and they both have been great. They’ve held up well. I travel a lot, so they have seen a lot of miles. They are heavy construction, so you can get so much in and that’s it. There is no squeezing the “one extra thing” in there.

I don’t know how the black would hold up to the occasional “gate check” on the small or full bin flight. So far, the blue I have has been a champ. Tons of compliments too-there just aren’t a ton of professional looking women’s laptop bags out there. I don’t want a man bag, and I don’t want a chintzy “glam” bag. So the McKleins have been a win for me.

Hello,

Thanks for your kind words! We are happy to know that you are completely satisfied with your purchase and we take pride in that. If our customers are happy, then we are happy. Have a good one!

Hello,

Thanks for your question. Yes, our bags are very durable and worth the buy. We have many customers and cleints who have testified to that, and their bags have lasted for many years. We wouldn’t sell you anything that was not fulfilling to your needs. If you have any additional questions or concern, please feel free to reach out to me.

Hello,

I am so sorry, but I meant to say “some” of our bags fit up to 17". We will eventually have another event on Woot.com and the next time I’ll be sure to include some women bags that fit up to 17". Please feel free to check out our site and let us know the ones you’d like to see in another event so that you can take advantage of the prices that Woot.com offers (these low prices are only exclusive to Woot and you won’t find them anywhere else). I’m sorry we couldn’t accommodate you at this time, we really wish we could.

I cannot see any substantive difference betweeen the Scottsdale and Halsted, except a $15 price difference. What is the justification for spending $15 more?

Also, the retail price is grossly over estimated. These sell on amazon between $80 - $110.

[murrjo04]

I’m not certain on all of the bag pricing, but Amazon has the Wrightwood Laptop bag for about double the price, $165

I ordered it, and hope the quality is as good as it looks in the photos!

Not such great reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/McKleinUSA-HALSTED-80335-Double-Compartment/dp/B00019EWFY

I would love to see the Willowbrook 94980 during the next event. I have a 17" laptop and would love to have the blue or green version of that bag!

Hello,

Thanks for your question! These items are pretty much the same, there are a few extra compartments included in the Halsted and some additional minor details that makes it a little more pricy. Please note that Amazon aggregates sales from all over and some items can be cheaper because it is used or because they haven’t added any shipping cost. Hope this helps!

Thank you!
