Designed-in-California briefcase with laser-cut materials and aircraft-grade hardware
Designed in California, the Forge SB Briefcase is Black Ember's most minimal addition to the series. For starters, its primary fabric is a high-tenacity, dirt- and dust-resistant 420 Velocity Cordura® RN66 fabric, and the interior lining is a 210D matte-silver ripstop. The main compartment opens wide and has a spot for a 13" tablet and a 16" laptop. Other well-thought-out features include a slide-and-release T6 aluminum lever™ for quick adjustments to the shoulder strap, an outer fast-access panel, and weatherproof YKK® AquaGuard® zippers with locking, theft-deterrent Hypalon® zipper pulls. We could go on, but just know every square inch of this bag has been thoughtfully-designed to be intuitive and built to last a lifetime.

About Black Ember
"The last one you'll ever need" gets thrown around a lot. For California-based designer Black Ember, this isn't a misuse of the term. Specializing in technical backpacks and bags for the urban environment, their packs are beyond-durable and intuitively organized for tackle-it-all days where precision and no-wasted-energy matters. To support this level of day-to-day performance, they go all-out in-terms of materials, hardware, and build-quality. All fabrics are laser-cut and bond-stitched. Custom hardware is aircraft-grade and laser-etched. Where artfulness, precision, and efficiency overlap, Black Ember bags optimize.
