Leather Briefcases

People ask me to make custom briefcases either for their own use, or to give as a gift. A functional beautiful briefcase is always appreciated. I do a few different styles. The traditional hard-side attache case is covered on the front with a tooled leather overlay. It is secured with 3/8" engraved conchos for a traditional Western look. These larger bags can be tooled extensively, inlaid with exotic leather or hair-on cowhide, or given a simple border for conservative style. I use practical pockets inside- a couple of file pockets as well as miscellaneous pockets inside the lid.  My cases are spacious enough to carry laptops, and my customers like the sturdy protection the leather offers. Prices begin at $450.

The traditional soft side briefcases also are a favorite. The silver buckle sets, and conchos make nice accents. The buckles are secured with sturdy tuck loop catches for easy access. A hair-on hide gusset adds a Western flair. Some choose to have a divider inside, and I can put pen loops or pockets on the divider. You can choose to have a matching shoulder strap as well. Other popular options include a soft removable pad on the bottom to protect your laptop computer. Because these are custom made, we can make one up to fit any size laptop. Prices from $500.
