TIMELESS DESIGNS
& MODERN HERITAGE
“Our love for leathercraft begins with the journey of our products and ends with our satisfied customers”
The Design Process
Ever since the brand began, we’ve been inspired by understated Great British design and timeless silhouettes, reimagining heritage favourites with our valued customers’ requirements in mind. To this day, each of our Italian leather keepsakes are still designed in-house by Maxwell-Scott Founder & CEO, William Forshaw, alongside our creative team.
Our commitment to detail and innovative design means that a labour of love goes into creating every new, luxurious briefcase, from the design room to the boardroom. The design journey takes months to complete to ensure each new product meets our high standards of quality, aesthetics, functionality and durability.

Improving & Evolving
All of our timeless bags and accessories have been designed to last for decades, but we remain conscious of changes to lifestyles, particularly our customers’ business needs. Technology advancements have led to requests for upgrades to our current much-loved product lines, which we are more than happy to invest in.
At Maxwell-Scott, you can trust that our new collections have been tailored to genuine feedback we receive and popular demand for new features, including padded compartments for laptops, A4 folders and mobile phones.
The Evolution of The Paolo Briefcase
In 2002, Maxwell-Scott founder William Forshaw began to conceive an antidote to the throwaway fashion culture he observed elsewhere, starting with his first ever creation: the classic Paolo2. A traditional Italian men’s leather briefcase crafted from world-class quality leather, the Paolo2 is still a bestseller today, much-loved for its classic silhouette, skilfully designed interior and unrivalled durability.
Over 20 years later, The Paolo2 has received 7 key enhancements, including new premium hardware, refinements to the strap, and redesigns to interior panels to accommodate modern users' needs. As well as the redesigns of the original, we’ve also introduced new styles to the collection by launching the Paolo 3-section and the Paolo Large - so you can select the design that best suits your busy lifestyle.
Styles for Every Lifestyle
Maxwell-Scott’s early vision was to become a brand regarded solely as producing the best-in-class Italian leather briefcases, but as our reputation for creating high-quality leather goods grew, so did the demand for more products.
Our customers began to request additional items to complement their briefcases such as wallets, purses and office accessories. Amongst the first of our new releases was The Vittore Bifold Leather Wallet which became an instant success. Much like our leather briefcases, this sleek and stylish wallet proved to stand the test of time: it’s still available to purchase today, alongside our newer soft grain and croco print editions.
We now stock over 100 sustainably crafted briefcases and business bags, luggage bags, handbags, wallets and purses, as well as personalisable leather accessories and luxury gifts. Whether you’re investing in a luxury leather keepsake for yourself or gifting a loved one, you’ll find leather creations you’ll love forever at Maxwell-Scott.
