Luxury Leather Briefcases for Men

The attaché briefcase is the most classic of hard leather briefcases, usually favoured by gentlemen working in a formal environment. When worn with a tailored suit, an Italian leather attaché case is bound to exude professionalism and class, fitting for the most traditional of careers. The attaché is perfectly suited to transporting important paperwork, documents and your other essentials - it’s also the most coveted style of men’s briefcase for those who require a more distinguished aesthetic.

For a more adaptable approach, the modern briefcase is highly versatile, making it a fine choice for most working environments. For instance, our Calvino handmade leather laptop briefcase lends itself well to both formal and smart-casual attire - a valuable investment for a lifelong career, wherever it may take you. Although the soft leather design is more contemporary than its traditionally structured, attaché counterpart, this leather briefcase for men maintains a classic style which will always be admired within the workplace.

The messenger bag is an attractive alternative to the formal briefcase for more laid-back environments. The Ravenna, for example, is a premium men’s leather satchel briefcase that is much loved for its relaxed silhouette and butter-soft leather exterior, which is ideal if you wear chinos and a shirt to work rather than a full suit. Considering the growing trend towards more relaxed dress codes in the office, it may be useful to invest in a leather business bag that complements both smart and casual looks with ease.

Keep into consideration how much you need to carry with you day to day while choosing the best leather briefcase for you. For those who require a little extra space, a men’s leather briefcase with multiple compartments and pockets may be the best choice, such as the Tomacelli3, with benefits from three spacious sections. It’s easy to spoil any briefcase by overfilling, however expertly crafted it may be; so, we’d always recommend sizing up if you don’t like to travel light.If you’re planning to use your briefcase to carry your technology essentials, you’ll need your business briefcase or bag to comfortably accommodate the screen size of your laptop or tablet. We’ve made this easier for you with our how to pack videos and measurements readily available on every product page. These will help you visualise the briefcase size if you’re still not sure on the best fit for your tech.

Alternatively, a more compact briefcase will fit perfectly into your lifestyle if you only need to transport the necessities to and from the office. If you cycle to work, the Micheli briefcase backpack will easily fit all of your requirements. Or, you may prefer the Lorenzo: a slim, stylish briefcase which will hold your everyday essentials. Designed with a sleek silhouette in mind, this style includes an organisational panel to store your pens, cards and phone, reducing unnecessary space with one main interior section. Its refined design also means that this smart briefcase for men will adapt well to any work environment. Sometimes the small are mighty!
