Is the Dakota satchel big enough for a laptop?

At 16 in wide and 11 in tall, it fits most 13- to 14-inch laptops with room for a tablet and pouch. A larger 15-inch laptop will be tight and make the bag heavy.

Does it come with a shoulder strap?

Yes. It has a top handle with a 25 cm (10 in) drop and an included shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand or on the shoulder.

What is the closure like?

It uses a magnetic closure under the flap rather than a zip top. It is quick to open, but small items are less secured than in a zipped bag.

How does it compare with other Marc Jacobs satchels?

The Dakota is larger and more structured than the smaller crossbody styles, with two compartments and metal feet. It suits shoppers who want a roomier everyday bag over a compact one.

What is the handle drop and can it be worn on the shoulder?

The top handle drop is 25 cm (10 in), which clears most winter coats. The included shoulder strap gives a second carry option when the bag is too heavy for the hand.

How many compartments does it have inside?

Two main compartments, plus an internal zip pocket and an internal slip pocket. That layout separates a laptop or tablet from smaller items.

About the Marc Jacobs The Dakota Satchel Bag

The Dakota is a smooth leather satchel from Marc Jacobs with a magnetic flap closure, a fixed J Marc logo belt and metal feet. It measures about 16 inches wide, 11 inches tall and 6 inches deep, with two interior compartments, a zip pocket and a slip pocket. The top handle has a 25 cm (10 in) drop, and a shoulder strap is included. It suits shoppers who want a roomy leather everyday bag, though owners of Marc Jacobs leather satchels note that smooth leather marks easily and the bag gets heavy when full.
