Classic Briefcase

This is the traditional briefcase shape done properly: a squared body that stands up on its own, a full flap over the front, and two buckled straps holding it down. It's the one you carry when you want the bag to say something before you've opened it. Inside there's the width for a 15 inch laptop, a tablet, an A4 notebook or a hardback lying flat, with the depth for an umbrella and the day's papers alongside. The top handle carries it by hand, and the strap clips on to wear it over the shoulder or across the body, with a padded shoulder piece lined in vegan suede where it crosses you. It comes off entirely when you want the handle alone.

Two buckled straps hold the flap down over the front, and underneath them sit concealed magnets. Set the buckles once at the holes that suit you and leave them there, then lift the flap and the magnets release with a light pull. Press it back down and they catch on their own. The bag is shut either way, so the buckles are there for the look of it and the magnets do the everyday work. Inside, a zip closes a pocket in the lining for keys, glasses and a wallet.

It's cut in our signature Italian bio-based vegan leather and lined in vegan suede, soft to the hand with a light grain. The gusset is set in as a separate piece, which gives it its depth and lets it stand square rather than slumping when it's empty.

All our bags and accessories are made in the same signature Italian bio-based vegan leather as our footwear, so they colour match exactly. Order the same colour name and the finish and the shade will be the same across the pair.
