First I want to clarify, yes, I knew before buying that it is not a genuine wool felt. If I had not previously read it would probably not have noticed me. I find the feel and the look of the bag just super! For me, in no way a sign of inferior quality or that you feel that felt too hard and bristly. The processing is also flawless. I would buy the bag in any case again. The value for money is unbeatable. In addition, I can take pure wool felt (yes the most out of pure new wool is) not particularly. So yet another reason why this bag comes into question for me. The Mac Book Pro Retina (model Feb.2013) fits like a glove in his pocket. For customer visits I still have the 2 small pockets where I can be fooled pens and notepad. A rubber band holds comparatively much longer to Velcro in my opinion! What more do you want?
