This soft-cover briefcase/satchel is made of very nice, genuine leather and is fully lined. Inside there are two main compartments, two zipper pockets, and holders for a cell phone, two pens, and four card slots, plus there is an open slot on the outside back of the case (perfect for magazines or a newspaper).

Make an impression without breaking the bank. Exceptional manufacturing standards assure that the buckles and leather strap are sturdy. Plenty of room and a padded section for a laptop toward the back. Note the dimensions (6 x 16.5 x 12 inches) especially the front-to-back depth– it’s not a “fit under your arm” briefcase but more squared off and doesn’t really collapse as you might suspect from the photo. If you’re looking for a professional piece at a bargain price that looks like it will last a long time, this is a good choice. There is a large bottomless surface on the back of the case that I believe is to slip an extendable suitcase handle into when you’re traveling.
