virginia leather briefcase bag

The Virginia is the bag most people picture when they say brown leather briefcase: a structured body, a top handle and a flap that closes clean over the day's papers. It is cut from top grain buffalo leather by experienced craftsmen, and it also comes in tan, black, burgundy and navy if brown is not your shade.

Why Brown Briefcase Leather Works Harder Than Black

Brown is the forgiving color in a work wardrobe. A mens brown leather briefcase pairs with navy, grey, olive and denim, so the bag never has to be swapped out to match a jacket. It also hides the small scuffs of a daily commute better than black does, and buffalo hide tends to deepen with handling rather than looking tired. The padded strap matters more than it sounds: on the walk from the station the weight sits on your shoulder, then the top handle takes over once you are inside. Good brown briefcase leather reads as considered rather than corporate, which is why the Virginia in brown is the one to start with if you only plan to own a single brown leather briefcase.
