Briefcases are an accessory that helps make working, traveling and commuting easier. Briefcases are typically flat, rectangular bags used for transporting files, notes, laptops and other personal accessories. Leather briefcases often have individual pockets and other zippered compartments for organizing a phone, PDA, laptops, writing instruments and other business necessities. Women's briefcases also have various styles which also include such storage for personal items specifically carried by women. Our briefcases are designed with convenient carrying handles and shoulder straps made from only the finest leathers. We offer many different styles of briefcases for attorneys, solicitors, barristers, physicians, doctors, sales people and various other professions.

While we do offer many contemporary styles of briefcases, our most popular models are the traditional briefcases made from Belting leather, Italian leather and full-grain American steerhide. Top Frame-style briefbags, which are our specialty, are a great choice for carrying papers to and from the office, our company was the first to introduce a shoulder strap on this traditional style.

If you are looking for high quality briefcases there are many things to consider. First you should consider which style you are looking for. There are five styles to choose from each of which is self-explanatory. They include: the flapover, the top zip, the top frame, the traditional attach and the litigation case.

You should also consider the leather carefully. High quality briefcases are made from full grain and top grain leather. We fully recommend full grain belting leather which is, quite literally industrial grade. It develops a rich patina as it ages.

The last thing to consider is the hardware. Look at the stress points. Can the hardware support the load? If not, select other briefcases! Ideally the hardware should be decorative yet durable. Look at the locking mechanism, is it flimsy or does it look like it will stand the test of time? If you're unsure, it probably isn't the highest quality. Make sure to look at the handle and see if the handle feels ridgid. This is probably the most important stress point on all briefcases.
