This briefcase is beautiful. The stitching is even an clean. The color is rich. Ofcourse the smell of leather is irresistable. I have owned many different briefcases of various size and color and material through the years. This one is a perfect size- large enough to hold the basic uniform sized folders, books, etc. that anyone conducting business would need to carry through the day, and yet it's not so big that you can't carry it comfortably. It's attractive, well made, and just the right size. It's a contemporary bag with the dignity of oldworld craftsmanship. Thank you for making such a fine case.

This Alanzo briefcase was bought as a present for my Son after becoming a Doctor......... I wanted to mark the occasion with something special, this Briefcase has done just that.... It is by far the best leather Bag I have ever bought , the most beautiful leather, the most beautiful and practical design, it fits all his requirements perfectly, the workmanship is second to none, and the price is excellent. I will definitely use Maxwell Scott again. What a fantastic British Made item. Congratulations to all for their continued success.

I Recently started a new job that requires dealing with senior management and executives on a regular basis. I wanted something that makes a good first impression and guess what... my Alanzo did just that! The quality and beauty of the briefcase made it easy for my new colleagues to find a topic for discussion ;) The service provided was very satisfying. I was so pleased with maxwell scott's product that I've already purchased another two items that I'm sure it will be as good as the Alanzo.
5 The Alanzo
I received today me black Alanzo I can confirm that MSB = nice design and good quality.Thanks for it! Hope that will be long time near me:)
5 Read the reviews and concur with many that The Alanzo in Choclate exceeded expectations.
As a business owner, wanted an attractive practical case for files and laptop for commute to my office and meetings, (and spoil myself a little!). Like the umbrella attachment, for which I have a shorter quality umbrella which fits nicely. Not only is the website great, with superb pictures and information but customer service is first rate too. Arrived within a few days of ordering online. Kept regularly up to date on delivery via text and email from delivery company. Really well packaged. If you appreciate bespoke shoes/clothing etc and the desire to own something for a lifetime, that with age actually improves over time, (definition of quality), then you won't be disappointed with this case. Exceptional quality, from the brass corners and general brass fittings to the quality of the full grain leather. If I were to make a minor criticism, I might ask that the internal pouch be made slightly larger to accommodate an iphone 11 plus, but to be honest I generally keep it in my jacket pocket anyway. Other than that, plenty of room for any size laptop, A4 files, papers and an assortment of bits and pieces. I love it. So well designed and very unique looking and nice to have a shoulder strap for the more casual look. A good realistic price for such a high quality item, without paying Mulberry and other 'designer' prices! Highly recommended.
5 Absolutely love it!
I just bought the Alanzo Luxury briefcase. Absolutely love it. Excellent craftsmanship. Looks fantastic and the various compartments and internal pockets very thoughtfully designed. Great work! Very happy with the ease of ordering, prompt delivery and hassle free purchasing.

OUR SIGNATURE LEATHER
Two decades have passed, and we are still committed to using our unique, unparalleled Vachetta leather that only one tannery possesses the precise formula to produce. Our prestigious leather is certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, a certificate of quality awarded to less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries. By showcasing their trademark and quality assurance, we honour the heritage of skilled artisans.
Finest Full-Grain Vachetta Leather
Often imitated but never matched, our high-quality full-grain Vachetta leather is unrivalled due to three essential components:
1. HIDES - we source only European hides reared in perfect conditions, ensuring tough and durable leather with a quality finish.
2. TANNING PROCESS - we use a natural centuries-old technique of vegetable-tanning which is both organic and sustainable.
3. TANNERY - Our tannery is based in the heart of Tuscany, arguably the best region in the world. It has been awarded countless awards and delivers some of the 1.5% best leather in Italy. These factors combine to yield a premium, durable leather with exceptional visual appeal.
A Unique Patina
As time passes, a captivating patina will develop, subtly transforming its colour and aesthetic as it gracefully weathers the elements, a highly desirable characteristic of pure untreated leather, leaving a legacy of its journey. Unwanted marks and surface scratches can be effortlessly removed due to our slow process of drum-dying the leather all the way through, unlike faster methods of hand and surface dyeing. Our deep, earthy tanned leather is of unparalleled quality, allowing it to retain its natural strength, character, and properties without any alterations or corrections. In contrast, coated full-grain leather loses its appeal as it ages in as little as 12 months.
Sustainably Tanned With Chestnut Trees
We're committed to using a centuries-old technique that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The process of vegetable tanning requires considerable time and patience, as our hides immerse themselves in drums for 60 days. We’ve always believed that the reward of sustainable, premium leather is worth the wait. With only 10-12% of the world's leather being vegetable-tanned due to quicker and cheaper methods of tanning becoming more prevalent, we are proud to honour the traditions and legacy of authentic leather craft passing the exceptional benefits onto our customers.
Guardians of a Rich Legacy
We honour an authentic approach to tanning leather, using Chestnut extracts to embrace a sustainable and organic method of dyeing, preserving a traditional practice that dates back thousands of years. The deep colour and natural scent of our signature leather are a testament to this ancient technique, enabling wearers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.
Crafted To Last a Lifetime
The combination of these factors forms a dependable yet timeless work of art, which will accompany you for a lifetime. To demonstrate our confidence, we offer an industry-leading 25-year warranty.
