Each Maxwell Scott brown leather briefcase is handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans who specialise in traditional leatherwork. We work exclusively with full-grain cowhide, which is the highest grade of leather available. It is naturally strong, characterful and durable, rather than corrected, coated or artificially made to look perfect.
Our hides are carefully selected from well-managed herds in Eastern Europe, where the animals are better cared for and better fed. Healthier cattle produce tighter, stronger fibres in the hide, which in turn results in leather that is structurally resilient, visually consistent and naturally elegant. This is the base material for every briefcase we make.
The leather is then vegetable tanned in Italy using natural tannins. We do not rely on heavy varnish coatings or artificial surface treatments to hide flaws. Cheaper leather is often sealed under synthetic finishes to create an even, shiny look, but that coating can crack and peel over time. Our leather is left honest. It will develop a deep patina rather than a plastic gloss.
What Sets Ours Apart
The result is a brown leather briefcase that feels substantial in the hand, ages beautifully with use and looks appropriate in any setting, from boardroom to airport lounge. It is classic, rather than seasonal. Quiet, rather than loud. Built to last, rather than built to be replaced.
The best brown leather briefcases should balance elegance with practicality. Our designs feature intelligently organised interiors, strong handles and secure closures, perfect for carrying laptops, documents and daily essentials between meetings or across cities.
