Briefcases

My wife is a project coordinator for a nonprofit organization, and I bought this (with a Sony Viao 15.6" laptop inside) as her graduation present. Her initial reaction was that it was pretty big - and that's true. It fits the 15.6" widescreen laptop just fine, and she can put the accessories and a binder or two in the additional pockets. It took her all of three days to get over the size (the shoulder strap works great for her, she rarely uses the rollers), and she rarely goes anywhere work-related without it. In addition to that, her mom, her boss, and several co-workers want one, and asked where I found it. It's very good quality leather, the print is distinct, but all the same color - it's just a cherry red with raised croc-leather patterning. I'd call it a semi-gloss, not quite a gloss - which is just perfect as far as sheen on leather goes. The stitching is strong, I don't see any pulls or popped seams anywhere after two whole months of constant use, and the only scuff she put on the bottom of the briefcase was easily mended. Leather doesn't appear to have taken any damage from it. If I could give half a star, I may be tempted to go for 4.5, if only because the seldom-used wheel+handle system is not as solidly made as I would have wanted. Granted, for a flattened-oval-shaped telescoping handle, it's an acceptable balance between compactness and rigidity. The button for telescoping it out and back in again was a little sticky on this particular one, but not to any significant degree. Overall, this is what I was looking for (as far as price, durability, quality, function, and style), and what my wife wanted (fashion, red croc leather, function, portability). Husbands, this will probably be a killer gift for any mid-to-high-level business/executive/aspiring wife."..."  Read more

The product was everything I hoped for and more. It was purchased as a birthday gift for my husband who will be retiring in a year. I wish I had found it much earlier in his career as it has a very professional look, unlike the local department store briefcases he has always used. He sufferes with some shoulder pain, so lugging his regular briefcase through airports was becoming very difficult. He mentioned he saw a lady who had one on rollers that he really liked. I just started searching on line, but everything that was a resonable price was black, which I really wanted to get away from. I had this idea of a beautiful congnac color, so just kept searching, until I found your site. When I saw the one I ended up purchasing I was thrilled and only hoped it looked half as good as the picture(I did NOT want brown). Well, as stated it was even better. The soft quality and rich color were amazing. He was so happy when he saw it. As he was filling it, he decided to "lightened" his load so it did not looked stuffed like his old one,(though there was plenty of room to put all of his stuff and more),so he felt he would not need the rollers for his day to day actions. This was a concern initially as we felt we would probably struggle with getting them on and off. WRONG! The zippers are very sturdy and unzip with ease. The rollers go off and on very quickly. The price for the quality was a blessing as well. Sometimes it seems you have to sacrifice beautiful quality because of the cost. Not so in this case. Thank you so much for making my first purchase with your company a success and making my husband (of 40 years!)happy. In fact, since I am younger than him and will need to work for a few more years, I may just purchase another one for myself even though I don't do travel for work! Oh, I should add, I am not being compensated for this review in any way, simply stating facts. Kind Regards, Sherry"..."  Read more

I purchased this product for its versatility. I wanted to use the roller bag when traveling for business trips, and to use just the carry briefcase for everyday office use. It does simply zip on and off. I am disappointed in the quality of the leather. I expected for the cost of this product for it to be soft and supple. It is quite hard, and seems that it might show scratches easily. Note it has not scratched yet, but I've only been using for about 2 weeks thus far. The primary interior pocket is great. Plenty of room for my big laptop, and one other section to hold papers, cell phone, etc... I wish there was a larger exterior pocket on the front, to hold cell phone, airline tickets, etc... This would make it more convenient and user friendly for airline travel."..."  Read more

So far, I like this bag. It rolls easily & the pockets & sections have room for papers/articles, markers, pens & sticky flags. I wish it were a little taller & wider to fit more law books...It's really hard to find roller bags big enough for all the books & papers needed for law classes. Still have to carry a second bag. But so far, so good!"..."  Read more
