Old Leather Partners Brief

I have been using a plethora of bags over the years trying to find what suits me. I've gone through everything from nylon zip-around bags to an all leather duffel, and I have to say this "partners brief" is by far best suited to my needs. Besides its more unique coloring (i chose the new amber stain color), the bags organizing compartments and gussets work perfectly for me. Inside my bag I keep the following: gusset 1 - padfolio and any "go to" papers I might need for the next meeting, middle - all the items I need to keep on hand for spare time (i.E. Memos, briefing reports, newspaper articles, magazines), gusset 3 - this one is closest to the organizing compartment and I usually just use it for all my spare items, which right now include a few random cough drops, keys, wallet, pain reliever, tissue, etc. I keep this stuff here, because it is closest to the traditional bosca organizing compartment, which perfectly holds my two phones, three pens, my ipad, a few letters for mailing or bills I need to pay, business cards, and a couple other spare papers, depending on the day or time of year. All around the piece is great if you are looking for a traditional briefcase and don't mind that fact that is doesn't have a strap. The top opening is perfect and makes grabbing files from my brief during a meeting a win, if you don't already count its beautiful yet not too showy appearance as one. The reason I'm giving for stars is because I had to return my first purchase bag to a vendor because the outside buckle did not work properly. I thought it was a little hard to keep closed and then after watching some videos online and checking with the store, I learned that it should be much easier. The second time around proved much better and I haven't been disappointed yet.

The finest briefcase I've ever had, extremely functional, high quality, have purchased a total of 3 over the last 10 to 12 years.... Easy to clean and polish!!!!

I use this case regularly to carry a bunch of books and documents to & from my home office. Great performing briefcase and is always the best looking compare to my colleagues! Now I want another lighter colour for the spring and summer! Fabulous case.

I wanted a bosca partner's briefcase for years before I finally bought one. In the meantime I cheaper out and bought two other leather briefcases - neither of which lasted a year before breaking. So, I bit the bullet and bought a bosca in 2006. After eight years of daily use, it is as good as new. Pictures do these thing no justice. They are great looking and they hold a lot. I usually have my macbook (in a sleeve) and two leather portfolios in the middle compartment. The side compartment without the organizer will hold several client files. I can get my ipad and all my cords, pens, exhibit stickers, and my digital recorder into the organizer side. Unless you're looking for one of those hard-sided catalogue cases, this is the last bag you will ever need. I put leather conditioner on mine once a year, and you would never know that it has seen almost a decade of hard use.

this is perfect for all of my needs and my laptop fits right in the middle. My earlier partners brief had a pocket on the back that would accommodate my laptop, but I much prefer this one. The leather is amazing and the craftsmanship is astounding . I am hard on my brief cases and these are the only ones that can handle alll of my work and hold up.
