The sight of that rugged, sturdy briefcase caught my attention—it was meant for a man like him. With well-stitched pockets and ample room for a laptop, books, and more, it was crafted from distressed full-grain water buffalo leather. Inspired, I vowed to create a similar rugged leather briefcase back in Arizona—and I did. Prepare to be amazed by the craftsmanship of this bag. The textured full-grain leather exudes a unique charm. Whether for work or school, this laptop briefcase will accompany you with style and sophistication.
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.

Inspired by grit, built with soul
Know Your Style
The sight of that rugged, sturdy briefcase left a lasting impression — it was built for a man of purpose. That vision led to the creation of the Retro Buffalo Leather Briefcase, crafted in Arizona from distressed full-grain water buffalo leather. The rich, textured finish and vintage character tell a story with every mark and crease, making each bag truly one of a kind. Whether you're heading to work, school, or traveling light, this briefcase carries more than your essentials — it carries presence. The flap cover and brass-buckled carry handle evoke classic style, while the 56” adjustable strap adds flexibility for modern routines.
Room for what drives you
Know Your Space
Behind its vintage exterior lies smart, spacious design. The canvas-lined interior includes three compartments, two interior zippered pockets, and a padded laptop section for safe, secure storage. On the outside, a zippered back pocket and two front pockets with quick-release buckles keep essentials close at hand. Available in three sizes to suit your carry needs:
15" – 15" W x 12" H x 3" D (fits up to 14" laptop)
16" – 16" W x 12" H x 3" D (fits up to 15" laptop)
18" – 18" W x 13" H x 4" D (fits up to 17" laptop)
Because of the natural variations in full-grain leather, no two briefcases are alike — and that’s exactly the point. It’s not just a bag, it’s a signature. Embrace the imperfections. That’s where the charm lives.
Tough where it matters
Know Your Hardware
Designed to endure, this briefcase is fitted with genuine brass and iron hardware, smooth YKK zippers, and quick-release buckled pockets for effortless access. The elements that hold your bag together are the same ones that make it stand out — robust, reliable, and full of character. Every zipper, clasp, and buckle reinforces its rugged nature, built to keep up with your pace, no matter the journey.
