Top Men's Briefcases/Messenger Bags For 2019
About this video
Weston and co-host Dorian review an updated selection of briefcases across various price points and materials, from entry-level non-leather options to premium leather styles. Weston evaluates each briefcase based on design, functionality, structure, and material quality, highlighting features like detachable shoulder straps, hidden hardware, laptop padding, and leather craftsmanship that distinguish quality bags.
Key takeaways
- Weston prioritizes briefcase features including detachable shoulder straps, proper structure (avoiding floppy designs), and clean aesthetics with hidden hardware and pockets
- Weston argues that quality leather briefcases require significant investment but are worthwhile long-term pieces; she notes that leather bags under $200 are generally poor quality
- Weston recommends specific brands across price ranges: Incase for tech-forward casual options, Italic for budget leather, Stewart and Lau for mixed materials, Bellroy for structured design, and Saddleback for customizable premium leather
