These classic British *bridlehide frame-top cases are individually hand stitched onto a metal frame using two needles and hand waxed thread. Each stitch is knotted between layers of leather, providing the extreme durability and strength that this premium range briefcase promises.

The case is ideal for carrying heavier documents and folders as it has a robust construction with a re-enforced top frame and foldable base board, as well as a fully hand-stitched solid leather handle. These handles are made using fifteen different layers of leather and suede, shaped and covered using a heavy leather such as bridle. The cover is then fully hand stitched onto the handle core for optimum strength and comfort as the layers of suede & leather allow the handle to shape to the customers hand over time.
Lined in our luxurious signature plum suede, the case is a traditional classic, finished with contemporary brushed nickel hardware for an instant update. With hand sewn corners and re-enforced edging to ensure its durability, it is a durable and distinctive business accessory, designed to be a veritable timepiece.

*Bridle hide is a naturally tanned leather with a waxed finish, which develops a rich patina and natural sheen with use, ensuring this briefcase is not simply hard wearing, but also improves with age
