Needed a briefcase that felt young, substantial, and suited to his frame. We were searching in Venice and New York to find most to be frozen in time and design never got updated. He loved the simplicity of the exterior design, and I think he looks amazing holding this as well as having it across his torso and off his shoulder. The strap clasps from the handle are a gamechanger to keep the integrity of the shape without getting lumpy as I've noticed most leather briefcases do.

You get what you pay for. I get compliments all the time on how nice this bag is. Plenty of room for the essentials in a slim and sophisticated package.

I had originally ordered the Palissy Double but, upon receipt, realized it was too large. Carl Friedrik immediately offered to exchange for the standard Palissy Briefcase. Relating to the bag , it is easy to notice the craftsmanship and quality reflected in its construction. Great quality and service!
