A truly useful and stylish briefcase.
This, as the title of the review states, is a truly useful and stylish briefcase. Its three internal compartments are huge and swallow an enormous quantity of files, binders, notebooks, etc.
I'm a teacher and this briefcase, with panache, handles my gradebook (complete with stacks of work to be graded), my Day Timer planner (which is usually five to six inches thick), and plenty of room for my lesson plan book and resource texts. Another side benefit of this briefcase is that it's unique among the rest of the faculty, and it garners me lots of comments!
I've also used this case as my carry-on during trips overseas, and it's just as useful there. With the locking clasp, you can be assured that prying eyes and hands can't easily get at your valuables inside. With the four card pockets, you can keep frequent flyer cards readily available. Also, one of the exterior pockets is locked, so that's an excellent place for your passport, boarding card, or whatever valuables you'll need at hand.
Overall, this is an outstanding case and, while the leather may not be to the same standard as the more high end cases, it's still of excellent quality, durable, fashionable, and eminently useful!
