Selecting fine briefcases
Briefcases are accessories that help make working, traveling and commuting easier. Briefcases are typically rectangular bags used for securing and moving files, notes, laptops and other personal accessories. Leather briefcases often have individual gussets and other zippered compartments for organizing a phone, PDA, laptops, pens/pencils and other business necessities. Womens briefcases also have various styles which also include such storage for personal items specifically carried by women. Our briefcases are designed with 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 modern styles of briefcases, the most popular models are traditional briefcases made from belting leather, Italian leather and full grain American steerhide. We specialize in top frame briefbags; a wonderful 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 the best briefcases you first need to consider your desired style. There are five basic types of briefcases to choose from. Flapover briefcases offer a full flap over, top zip briefcases open from the top and can stay open, top frame cases stay open with a wide opening, traditional attaches are ridgid, and litigation cases are bulky but carry a lot.
The leather is obviously a critical factor in your selection of leather briefcases. Full Grain leather is the best followed by top grain leather. Cheaper leathers dramatically cut the cost, but will wear out much quicker. We full recommend American steer hide for its durability.
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.
