I wanted a nice leather bag and spent several days looking online: this is the one I picked for, looks (inside and out), as well as quality (judged by past reviews).
I took it on my 10 day fall vacation: three flights (carry-on), three car trips, three homes. I think this bag is pretty great and worth the price.
I might have liked a veg-tan bag, but I'd expect that to be double the price, or more.
PS
The weight is part and parcel of wanting nice leather: If I wanted lightweight I'd get a cheap formless ugly nylon bag.
I don't understand those who choose leather, brass, or pewter goods (for instance) and then complain about the weight.
