Is the Sable backpack worth it?

If you want a leather fashion backpack for everyday carry and travel, yes. If you need to carry a large laptop or heavy gear daily, a nylon or laptop-specific pack will serve you better for less money.

Does it fit a laptop?

It holds a tablet and phone comfortably, but at 9.75 in wide and 12.75 in tall it will not fit most 13-inch or larger laptops. Treat it as a tablet-and-essentials bag.

What are the dimensions?

It measures 9.75 in wide, 12.75 in tall and 5.25 in deep. That is a medium capacity, roughly enough for a tablet, wallet, phone, small pouch and a light layer.

The shell is pebbled calf leather with gold-tone hardware and a 100% polyester lining. It is not a hard-shell bag, so it holds its shape but offers little impact protection.

When is the best time to buy it?

Michael Kors leather bags are discounted most during seasonal sales and major holiday promotions. Check the price history here and buy when the current price sits near the low end of its recent range.

Does it come in other colors?

It is offered in black and brown. Both use the same pebbled leather and gold-tone hardware.

Our take on the Michael Kors Sable Medium Leather Backpack

The Michael Kors Sable is a medium-sized fashion backpack in pebbled calf leather with gold-tone hardware, a zip closure and a trolley sleeve for sliding over luggage handles. At 12.75 in tall and 9.75 in wide it fits a tablet, phone and daily essentials but not a full-size laptop plus bulk. It is a style piece first: structured leather look, two interior compartments, adjustable straps. Shoppers comparing prices should check the current best price against its recent range before buying, since leather bags from this brand swing widely between full price and markdowns.
