The manufacturer is the Chinese company SC Cotton.
The bag is very good with a perfect finish and completely odorless.
The leather used is a bit thinner than the original Bellstaff yet sufficiently strong.
The two main buttons are held closed by magnets. When you open the bag, the big zip is visible, the bag closes (prevention against pickpockets!). Inside is another pocket (wallet size) sewn with a zipper.
For orientation purposes: an A4 folder fits in the bag in, then the bag is however already well filled.
I am what design, workmanship and value for money terms very pleasantly surprised and would recommend this bag!
