Question for you guys. I have a slim leather briefcase that I love, however I tend to like packing a lunch to bring to the office, rather than eat out all the time. I've struggled to find a stylish lunch bag that compliments the briefcase. Any suggestions? Or should I just get a bigger briefcase. 🤷‍♂️

I enjoyed this video; I’ll probably re-watch more closely. One thing I noticed part of the way through is that the reviews seemed to be very light on interior details, until the final briefcase. When I shop for a briefcase (or backpack for work) - which isn’t very often - I am often most interested in the internal organization offered by the case. Finding the right balance between too many and too few compartments and whatnot can be hard. With too many pockets and compartments, I feel the urge to fill everything, and that and the extra material add to the bulk. Too few compartments is of little use, e.g. not having a separate place for a laptop, for example. Also, it’s interesting that Incase was a choice. I liked them when I first started out, but over time I found the materials and particularly the stitching to be less durable than I’d like. Definitely an entry-level kind of thing. Has their workmanship improved recently?

@pitiedvod 5 жыл бұрын

Can we do some briefcases that are a little larger? They are nice bags for the most part, but simply too small to hold everything I need. When I have to throw in laptop, power cable, phone, folders and files, reference books, various tools, a flash light, notepad, writing implements, tablet, water bottle, medicines, occasionally my lunch, and I am on the move I need a bigger bag. Currently I go with the Maxwell Scott Tomicello as it has the room and a backpack just doesn't work in my line of work to look professional, keep weigtht down, and be able to carry all the day to day gear.

We tested the Linjer briefcase and it sadly didn't make the cut. The leather was just... eh, as well as the construction and hardware so we felt there were better options available. The Daniel's didn't meet our requirements in the looks department and Fossil always misses the mark in quality and styling for us.

The Bellroy is way to thin. You can’t even toss a bottle of water in it. They also don’t talk about the quality of the leather. Finally, I like metal feet as it protects the leather. I own 6 briefcases ranging from Coach to Dunhill to Prada. My next bag will be another Dunhill or a Ferragamo.
