Briefcase reviewers write most about the leather and the build (91 mention quality or craftsmanship) and about what fits inside (66). 29 were bought as a gift. The 8 reviews under five stars cover a late delivery, the slimmer size of the Essential, a stiff feel at first, a shoulder strap and, in one 1-star review, leather that looked different from the photos.
I have bought a few leather briefcases in my life, and they are either too soft or too hard.This case is the perfect match between soft and hard. Every time I use it I am impressed with the look and feel of the case. I am so impressed, I ordered another briefcase, different color. It is the best briefcase I have owned.
Reviewed: No.1 Leather Briefcase · Elegant BlackArguably the best classic briefcase available on the market. I dislike the handles of all modern types of briefcases. The No. 1 is an excellent piece of timeless elegance produced at outstanding quality.
Reviewed: No.1 Leather Briefcase · Solid BrownI wish I had more space on days when I need to carry 5-6 books, but for a normal office work the slimmer size is a better option.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseSeveral months in, the bag has picked up a little character but still looks great. I use it most weekdays and haven't felt the need to switch to another work bag.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseThe laptop has its place, papers can go in the back pocket, and the remaining space is open enough for the charger, notebook and headphones. Simple always works for me.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseFrom the side it looks narrower than my previous briefcase, so I assumed I would have to carry less stuff. In reality the space is very generous. Took 4 days to get it, I am from Melbourn AU.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseThis was for my partner, who had been swtiching between an oldschool messenger bag and a cheap laptop sleeve. He loved this one almost immediately. The biggest difference for him has been having one place for the laptop and work papers without carrying a much larger bag. The design is prefect, and the back pocket gives him quick access to smaller items when he is moving between meetings.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseBecause I'm only in the office a few days a week, I didn't want a huge briefcase taking up space at home. This one carries my essentials and still feels compact enough for the days I commute.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseVery spacious and easy to use. Love the fact that my mac and papers are separated. Brilliant bag.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseI started a new office job and wanted something that looked more put together than the backpack I had been using. The Essential feels professional, I usually carry a laptop, charger, notebook, pens and a small folder. All of that fits comfortably, and the outside pocket is perfect for my slim wallet and iphone.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseThis is my new fav bag for business and meetings. Love the combination of brass hardware and black leather.
Reviewed: Essential Modern BriefcaseOn the bus I appreciate the slim profile more than anything. It stays close to me, yet still takes my computer, power adapter and two notebooks without feeling awkward. The back pocket is convenient for a ticket or papers I need quickly.

Reviewed: No.1 Leather BriefcaseWhat I like most is that it doesn't feel locked into one kind of day. It looks great with a jacket for a meeting, but I have also carried it with jeans when working from a cafe. The shape is neat, the laptop has its own protected space, and I can still fit the small things I normally need. That balance was more important to me than having maximum capacity.

Reply from Von BaerOur Essential Modern Briefcase is crafted from Cuoio Superiore full-grain leather, the highest grade available. Unlike processed alternatives, it retains its natural surface, including texture variations, grain differences, and wrinkles. These aren't flaws - they're proof the leather hasn't been chemically treated to appear uniform. We show and explain this on the product page with photos.Everything looks exactly like in the pictures. There are a lot of photos of the product, which was really helpful when choosing a laptop bag for work. The quality is very good.

I ordered a briefcase right before Christmas for my son and I never expected it to arrive in time.

A representative of the company reached out immediately (within one day) with a proof of where I wanted the engraving and exactly what it would look like (size/font etc.). It was perfect just as I had tried to describe. I approved it and the briefcase arrived in time for Christmas! They even reached out again to make sure I had received the briefcase. They were prompt, extremely polite and very skilled at their jobs. The quality of leather and the detailed workmanship is beautiful! This is a briefcase that will last my son for years to come.

Reply from Von BaerDear Steven, Thank you for your valuable insights and for being our customer. We chose not to include extra padding in the shoulder strap because our leather is designed to adapt to your shoulder with use, and it should become comfortable fairly quickly.

Reviewed: No.1 Leather BriefcaseEarlier this year I began searching for a top quality briefcase for my son who is graduating law school. Of course I wanted the very best briefcase money could buy, and after several months of extensive research online I’m pretty sure that I found it in the form of the No.1 briefcase from Von Baer. I ended up ordering one in elegant black with a tin of Von Baer leather conditioner. The case arrived about a week later, and the shipping box was badly damaged. Upon opening the box and inspecting the case it was obvious that something had actually penetrated the sturdy shipping box and damaged the beautiful briefcase that was inside. I immediately went to Von Baer’s website to try and get some customer support for this matter, and was pleasantly surprised and very much impressed when a Mr. Igor Monte started chatting with me about the problem -and even called to verify some information and let me know personally that he was very sorry about the rare, but still unfortunate occurrence of damage during shipping, and that he would be happy to immediately send me another bag. Igor Monte just happens to be a founder and owner of Von Baer! That really is an incredible example of unparalleled customer service. That new No.1 briefcase in elegant black arrived about a week later, and it is nothing short of a stunning work of art in Italian leather that not only looks like a million bucks, but will undoubtedly provide many years of service for my son. I have to say that I just love everything about this company -from their commitment to environmental responsibility and responsibly sourced materials, to helping sustain and promote centuries old artisanal leather craft in Italy -Von Baer really is the best. I’ll definitely recommend Von Baer to anyone interested in purchasing the very highest quality leather goods available. Thanks

The weight actually adds to the sense of durability and it’s holding up really well. The leather is gorgeous and it’s got this rich color that goes with everything. The adjustable strap is a lifesaver…I’m petite so, it’s great that I can make it fit comfortably. I’ve been using it every day and I’m really pleased with how it’s breaking in

Reviewed: No.1 Leather BriefcaseI hardly leave reviews except when beyond impressed and that rarely happens. This is one of those rare occasions. I obviously expected this briefcase to be high quality because that’s the only reason why anyone will shell out this sum for a bag. But I didn’t expect to be this impressed. The quality of this briefcase is unmatched. Every aspect of it stands out compared to other leather briefcases and laptop bags I have or used to have. Even the actual engraving of my name on the leather looked much better than the visualization they sent me. Also, the gift packaging was a nice touch, I was really pleased.

Reviewed: Diplomat Men's Leather BriefcaseCommunication was great for engraving. Quality of the Briefcase even better than anticipated. Leather, hardware, & closures all top quality. I was looking for a messanger bag that was a little smaller than standard and it is perfect. Compact but plenty of room for folders, large tablet or small laptop. Classic Tan color as good as the photos. Overall it is a very elegant bag that is pure luxury. I have owned other well known luxury brand briefcases who's quality is not near that of VB's.

Reviewed: No.1 Leather BriefcaseAs someone who's been working in finance for over a decade, I've seen my fair share of briefcases. This one, thoug? It’s in a league of its own. The leather is top-notch and it has this weight to it that screams quality. It’s not just about carrying my laptop and documents, it makes a statement when I walk into meetings with clients. The compliments from colleagues don’t hurt either. I used it for a little over a year before deciding to leave a comment. So, if you’re looking to invest in a bag that’ll probably outlast your career, this is it.

The design is timeless, reminds me of old-school craftsmanship but the functionality is very much up-to-date. I work in tech and while most of my colleagues carry backpacks, this briefcase sets me apart in a good way. The leather is top quality, and the compartments are just right for my laptop and documents. I particularly love that side where it opens up nearly completely; It makes things so much easier. Also, it’s not too flashy but it definitely gets noticed.

Reply from Von BaerThank you, Sarah, for being a wonderful customer 💗. We always do our best!I bought this briefcase because I was tired of replacing cheap ones every few years. Out of the box, it was a bit stiff which concerned me at first. But after a couple of weeks, it started to soften and mold to my use. Now, it’s become a part of my daily routine. The leather looks beautiful and I’m certain it can only get better with age

You just can’t afford to give up functionality for style), and this briefcase nails it. The leather is definitely top quality, with a sleek design that’s perfect for a professional setting. It’s roomy enough to fit all my stuff without being bulky, which i exactly what I need for navigating this busy city. I opted to have my name engraved on the bag.

Maybe, as a company should be focused on providing this on the Website in the near future. However, I am very pleased. The item arrived almost the next day after I completed the transaction. Overall, impressed with the packaging and the presentation in the box. Thanks for adding the Card Wallet as a gift. That’s a nice touch. First impression, the leather and finishing is to a very high standard. Materials on the strap seem to be very robust and sturdy. Probably, a good thing with all the weight being held with the metal buckles on the strap fixing on the bag. After heavy use since I received it two weeks ago. The leather is becoming very supple. I would have preferred the tan leather, but, unfortunately this was out of stock. So, I settled with the Black.
