Armin: Check the size before you buy it.
It’s great quality.
Good for one laptop and some little accessories only.
( you can’t fit too many papers and documents there… so check the dimensions)
Highly recommended!

WildPhil: The leather started to wear off, after 10 years daily use. I bought an exact replacement. and I'd probably buy it again in 10 more years.

sturdy holds some weight.

StevenC: I just bought a new of these after owning this same briefcase for over 5 years. It looked good for at least 3 to 5 years. The only reason I replaced it was because the leather at seam (the vertical seam in the middle front area) was pealing off and so it looked worn out. Given I used it for 5+ years, I decided to buy another one of the same kind. So that in itself is an endorsement of the product.

I will say that a true 100% leather product should not peal the way it did (hence the 4 stars). So I don't think it's 100% leather (I would guess that this is bonded leather). Having said that, the briefcase started to peal (in the front area) because I overfilled the smaller pouch in front causing it to stretch and resulted in the pealing after a few years of use (and I never did anything to maintain it - other than keep it clean). Then again for $100 bucks this is a good product. It looks like real leather and had no failures / tears - except for the afore mentioned pealing after the material was stretched for a while.

Iván : Es elegante, se ve bien, pero por dentro brinda poca protección a una lap, o Tablet, ya que no está acolchada.

JD: This briefcase is really good looking and classic styling. It has a leather interior pocket and a side pocket in the main pocket as well. It also has an outside pocket good for pens and the likes. The only downside I could think of it’s the size it’s slightly on the smaller side. You could fit your laptop in there with some papers and folders but not too much of anything else. It is a really good quality genuine leather that holds up nicely ( I only have it for three months with daily use). It comes with a strap but it’s definitely not the most comfortable one I’ve come across. Overall it’sa good daily case if you like it being on the slim side which it’s definitely a good look.

Asfandyar Yoosufani: Amazing product.
Good leather quality , supplied in a box to prevent damage by rain or snow.

It’s good for fitting a laptop but make sure the laptop is not above 14 inch screen size .

Nice and compact , amazing look with an overcoat . Gets great compliments

Mouad Seridi: I saw this "Briefcase" in a department store and I liked it, except that the price was nearly twice the price on this website, so I ordered one on here.
overall it is exactly what I needed, a cross between a briefcase, lunch bag and an accessory. I have had it now for a month, and it seems to perform the job(s) rather well.

1. Accessory :
I ditched the strap, I just carry it with my right hand, I let it oscillate just as much as my empty hand would. The handles allow a soft yet firm grip, and it looks great.

2.Launch bag:

I carry two sealed mugs with me to the office everyday, one for water and one for coffee, in addition to a sandwich and a small bag of fruits or nuts, they all fit in there with no issues at all

3. Briefcase :

I would say that the word "Briefcase" is rather an over statement, in addition to my lunch , I have enough room for the pens/pencils/ phone charger---
few notebooks and a 10" tablet, adding a laptop would be stretching it a little, so if I add a the laptop I usually lose the tablet....
