McKleinUSA Willowbrook Detachable Wheeled Ladies’ Briefcase – Pink Review


I have this in black.

Really nice leather. Looks stylish and feminine, and also boardroom-ready. My 17″ laptops fit inside fine. Laptop protection is fine. Telescoping handle/wheels work well. A great change from lugging shoulder bags. I love it!

I haven’t detached it more than a couple of times. Nice to have that option, especially in stormy weather.

The wheel assembly doesn’t add a particularly insane amount of weight. It goes up/down stairs fine in a pinch.

I do not plan take this through airports on a regular basis. The stiff leather seems pretty durable, but more pretty than bulletproof.

Be aware:
– The black one comes w/VERY red piping. The black leather has a matte finish.
– The orange one is CONSTRUCTION ORANGE. This color comes with a lovely pearlescent finish, but it does glow in the dark like a traffic cone. I wish they had gone with more of a blonde/natural leather color.
– I need more expansion space for papers + folders + adapter/cable.
Where to stash cables (if you carry lots of things with cables and chargers) is a challenge.
– After several months, the interior cloth dividing the laptop from the “everything else” side is getting a bit frayed on the sides where laptops have been pulled in/out daily. The lining is pretty but not durable.
– The rain-resistant cover (not shown in the photo but comes with it) has come in handy a few times but is inefficient/flimsy protection from a real downpour.
– Cel phone pocket won’t nearly hold a Blackberry & is useless for nearly all other functions (minor annoyance); other pockets for stashing other small objects seem OK.

Customer Reviews

If you had less than one star I would use it – Sharry Edwards – Albany, Ohio
My staff bought this item for what they thought would be a very nice gift. It was bulky, stiff, small on the inside, did I mention stiff, the zippers are uncooperative and stiff. The mismatched seams and thread make it look cheap – which it isn’t.

and if you try to return it, you are slapped with a .41 restocking fee (not mentioned in the advertisement) plus shipping.

If there was a rating below 1 star, I would use it. I would give this thing a -7

BRIGHT COLORED ROLLING BEAUTY – Qrysta White – New York, NY United States
I absolutely LOVE this BAG but I agree with C Turner, if you have a lot to carry it won’t hold it.

I’m using it for very infrequent trips so it suits a DVD player and movies more than a laptop and all the accoutrement required if you are a heavy duty computer user. IT needs to be wider FRONT to BACK for that. Too much space is wasted at the back where the handle and cute rain cover are.

For plain old travel it is perfect for medicines, slippers, pens, pad of paper and a sandwich.

More so with its STUNNING COLORS, it is just plain pretty! I’m sick to no end of black and browns so this line suits me to a Tee. I like my luggage VISIBLE. That way if someone is running away with it, you can holler, “FOLLOW THE PERSON WITH THE KELLEY GREEN AND ORANGE LUGGAGE!” Orange referring to Titan’s x2 suitcase line (sorry bright colors and great interior but not the least bit durable, broke in under one hour! during packing no less).

Indeed the RAIN COVER is a great dust cover only. Leather is silky/lovely and suits the price tag. Amazon’s price is better than any on this item.

Now McKlein! “MAKE IT BIGGER”, in those bright colors. ADD A LOCKING MECHANISM [why doesn't this thing lock at least like a brief case?] while you are at it and we can buy another one to hold a thermos AND a sandwich.

100% class! – Elizabeth – Atlanta, GA
This magnificent product is worth every penny. I use it as other than a laptop bag when I travel because it fits perfectly under the airline seats. People stop me to ask me where they can get one.

McKleinUSA Willowbrook Detachable Wheeled Ladies’ Briefcase – Green Review


I received compliment after compliment on this briefcase at a recent workshop I attended; it truly does stand out to be noticed. And you certainly don’t mistake your colorful, beautiful briefcase for any other run of the mill briefcase either.

This bag is feminine and attractive, yet just as functional as any other comparable bag.

*A note about airlines – I deliberately left the wheels off when flying on a commuter jet knowing I would be hard pressed to fit the bag and wheel assembly under the seat. And I’m glad I did! The bag just fit without snagging or rubbing, but I know that with the wheels on, it would have been too tight of a fit.

The only drawback I have experienced is that the laptop protection area is too large for many newer laptops out there which meant that there also was not a lot of room for files or books on the other side. Most laptops are slimming down and are no longer 2.5 and 3 inches thick! Mine is less than an inch thick which meant that I lost quite a bit of protection.

The bottom line – I highly recommend this product, but if you’ve got a slim notebook computer, you might want to get additional protection to go with it.

A suggestion to McKlein – I think it would be great if the inside compartments were moveable and adjustable so everyone gets what they need with space! (more file room, less computer room or more computer room and less file room, etc.)

Love IT! – C. Tilley – Utah
I bought this bag because I needed something to save my back, but I wanted something nicer looking than the ones I have seen. I have had several compliments on it, from men and women. The quality is great and the price was too. I actually have to carry two laptops, so the fit is really tight, but since no bags are built for two laptops, I am not worried about that. It is a great bag and looks very elegant. I love that there are three ways to transport it (handle to drag, handles to carry and a shoulder strap). The one complaint I have is that the pole used to pull it is a little difficult to pull up consistently.

Great laptop bag – Internet shopper – Nashville, TN
I am very happy with this briefcase. The quality and style have exceeded my expectations. It is plenty big enough for my laptop, accessories, and work folders. The rolls smoothly and looks great. Since it is leather it might be heavier than some, but since it is on rollers that has not been an issue. I love that the rollers are removable if I decide to carry it alone.

McKleinUSA Glen Ellyn 94365 W Series Italian Leather Detachable-Wheeled Ladies Briefcase (Black) Review


Immediate impression
This is the most beautiful bag I've seen for the price. I opted for the dark red, the color is a large and prominent. I ordered last week and used it this week on a business trip. It looks very impressive and of high quality, so I got tons of compliments immediately. As mentioned, the other reviews, the seam adds a touch of class to the bag and makes it unique, as if it is suitable for a color.

Pro: The sale comes with a mini-umbrellaa hook for the platform rotates, which is tied behind the bag. Not sure how easy it is to be achieved, but this is a nice addition that you can not wait. The front is also a cool pocket folds, the magazines fit, a planning board, passport, itinerary or other documents that require rapid access a. The wheels are very solid and the handle properly. It 'was very easy to implement the stairs to Wheeling, when I needed to move along a longer distance. In contrast to bulkyBags, I do not slow down my party, as we walked in different places, or as I moved back to Wheeling, and implementation.

The Cons: Although it is possible to fit a large notebook, expect to fit a bit 'tight. I had my powercord, pens, calculators, financial, etc. form, but you must understand how everything you have in your pocket. Having packed all my items, I could not find a place to put the strap, so set it aside and left inHotel, but this is the downside of the skin than other types of materials that are more extensible. Another small detractors is that the process of unpacking the bags from the platform is not as easy as could be. To remove the bag, you should unzip the two zippers on both sides and below it. That was much easier when the bag was completely empty.

Overall, the degree of Ellyn McKlein USA is definitely a female business traveler who has given rise to a high quality, beautiful, it seems as if createdLeather case. In fact, the bag looks so beautiful that I think I only use it for business and a separate "daily" buy "case for my office, which has a relaxed atmosphere. If you work in a formal setting, I'm sure the employees known.
