Rugged, sturdy, and exquisitely crafted, it was the type of briefcase that demanded attention. The well-stitched pockets provided ample space for a laptop, books, notepads, and more, all within its robust frame made from distressed full-grain water buffalo leather. This rugged leather briefcase was designed with men in mind, combining practicality with timeless style. Inspired by its allure, I made a personal vow to create a similar masterpiece when I returned home from Boston. And I did. Now, wherever you go, be it New York, London, or beyond, experience the unrivaled charm of this exceptional briefcase.
Due to the natural variation and suppleness of leather, no two bags are the same. As part of our vintage style, we hope you will embrace these variations as part of the bag's charm.
