Best Women’s Briefcases

Posted in Ladies Luggage and Bags, Leather Briefcases

Women’s briefcases have become increasingly popular the last couple of decades.  We think there are a couple of major reasons for this trend.  First, there are a lot more women in the professional workforce, contributing to an increase in demand for quality work bags.  Second, manufacturers have really stepped up the design quality of the modern womens briefcase – they simply are a lot more fashionable.  In this article, we look at some of our favorite women’s briefcases on the market today.

Posted in Leather Accessories

Every man needs a good and durable credit card wallet. By our estimation, there are two types – the higher end luxury leather credit wallet that holds credit cards only and your average wallet that has several credit card slots. Although we know the general male population uses a standard wallet, we tried to highlight a mix of both. Okay, a few disclaimers. Being a site on leather luggage, we are obviously partial to leather products, so we only scoured for leather made credit card wallets. Also, wallet preference is fairly subjective (e.g. color and size), so we relied on [Read More...]

Of course, you probably would not be caught at work with one of these ancient style briefcases, they would probably be used today for leather luggage instead. Even the late 20th century square leather briefcases are arguably no longer popular. In any case, the classic square [Read More...]

While the name may not be commonly used, a leather holdall is essentially described by the name itself – a large leather bag designed to “hold all” your belongings.  The most popular holdalls are meant for travelers, but there are a wide array of other holdalls meant for day trips or just family errands.  A leather holdall can also serve as a ladies briefcase.  Designers are fairly creative about these leather tote bags – many different pockets both inside and out, clever clasps and latches, and different carrying styles and straps.  One nice thing about leather holdalls is that there [Read More...]
