5 Tips For Buying A Quality Briefcase | What To Look For In Leather Briefcases

About this video

Centeno provides five tips for purchasing a first briefcase, covering material quality (particularly leather types like full grain, top grain, and genuine leather), hardware components, style options (attaché, messenger, traditional), appropriate sizing, and lifestyle considerations. He recommends entry-level brands like Kattee for initial purchases before investing in premium options.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends choosing briefcase style and size based on actual usage needs, noting that oversized bags often go unused
• Centeno suggests considering lifestyle and environment when selecting briefcase color and aesthetic, recommending darker colors for urban settings and lighter for rural areas
