Story

Ranked Wirecutter’s “Best Briefcase”

From the skilled bagmakers at Carl Friedrik comes another classic: the contemporary vachetta leather briefcase. With a roomy 15”-compatible laptop compartment, pen slots, and multiple organizational pockets, this one is more than equipped to meet the demands of your 9-to-5. Outfitted in Italian, vegetable-tanned vachetta leather—the very same as luxury brands like Louis Vuitton—it has a buttery texture, is incredibly durable, and is structured enough to stand on its own without collapsing. Metal feet were added to the base to give extra stability and keep the leather off the ground. Their teams of master artisans in Italy and Portugal develop all of the materials and create each bag by hand using centuries-old techniques, making a stately and polished daily driver that is sure to last you a lifetime.
