Briefcases
As the ultimate symbol of the successful businessperson, the briefcase is a classic way to protect your important documents and laptop computer in transit. Though originally used by lawyers to carry briefs to court, briefcases are now used by a variety of business professionals and come in a variety of styles and materials.
Traditionally, men and women have chosen leather briefcases. The leather briefcase conveys a certain timeless authority and style. As well, these briefcases will last a long time. Briefcase makers offer leather briefcases in a range of sizes depending on what the customer is interested in carrying. Most now come with a specially-padded compartment for a laptop computer. When shopping for your briefcase, decide if you prefer a hard or soft-shell case, and check to see if it has enough compartments for your needs. Popular retailers of leather briefcases include Louis Vuitton, Tumi, Kenneth Cole and Samsonite. Donald Trump even offers his own line of briefcases. If you’re looking to spend a bit less but still want a quality case, head over to your local office supply store and browse the bags aisle.
Soft, smooth leather is one thing, but there is something attractive about aluminum briefcases. Maybe it’s the feeling of security, or the James Bond appeal, but this sturdy yet light attaché continues to turn heads. Though typically silver in color, gold and black are also offered by some retailers. Artist Tripp Gregson even makes a unique briefcase from recycled street signs. Popular makers of aluminum briefcases include Zero Halliburton, Rimowa and Superior.
Canvas briefcases are the perfect option for someone looking for a functional briefcase that is a little less formal. Louis Vuitton makes a gorgeous little bag, if you’re willing to spend upwards of $1,000. For something a little more casual, try Ellington Clark or Barbour online.
Women’s Briefcases
Businesswomen often carry purses or handbags, but more women are turning to a (stylish) briefcase for their business commute. Often more expensive than their male counterparts, women’s briefcases take style to a new level. Brands like Prada and Tumi offer lovely yet practical women’s briefcases, as do Trastevere and Superior.
Computer Briefcases
Computer briefcases can be hard or soft-shell, and made of leather, aluminum or other materials. The feature they all share is a well-padded, secure compartment that fits your laptop computer. Before purchasing a briefcase to hold your Mac or PC, check to make sure it fits –bags aren’t standardized and some oversized widescreen computers may not fit in your average bag.
Like any bag, the briefcase can carry your belongings anywhere you’re going, and with the number of varieties available, your briefcase can fit into your style as well.
