My lovely wife bought me this bag for Christmas this year and since there didn't seem to be too much info on this bag here on POTN, I thought I'd offer my impressions of the bag.

Build Quality: Outstanding
- Top quality leather
- Nice thick stitching
- Hardware seems relatively beefy
- Nice tight padding on the inside

What it can fit: In my opinion the bag gets too heavy with stuff before it gets full [which is a good thing as it means there is plenty of room for a reasonable amount of gear]
- 7D gripped
- 60D
- Sigma 50-150 f/2.8
- Sigma 17-50 f/2.8
- Sigma 30 f/1.4
- Canon 580EXII
- Metz 50AF-1
- And of course all the side/front/back pockets that can hold batteries/chargers/tri​ggers/misc.

Practical Use:
What this bag is, is a stylish and very functional bag for carrying gear. I loved it for the holidays when visiting family and friends. It'll probably be the bag I use for the getting ready shots for weddings.
What this bag is NOT, is a "run and gun" type bag that allows for near instantaneous lens changes. It isn't a bag I'd want to carry around Disney World for a week.

Here are a few pics of the bag and what it can hold:

In this last pic, it is missing my 60D and other flash because I needed it for the pic...

It appears you've had this for a few months now. How's it holding up?

So far the bag is holding up great. I use fairly regularly and it looks just like the day I got it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others who are looking for a stylish, nice looking bag.

An interesting looking bag that does not look like a camera bag, which is nice for a change.
