It is hands down the most beautiful messenger bag we have ever owned.

Though the price tag may seem a little steep at first glance, trust me, it is worth every penny!

A gift I’ll cherish for a long time

My parents gave me the money to get this briefcase… it was as a graduation gift, but honestly, I was more excited about the job than the briefcase at first. But after using it for a few weeks, I get why they insisted I get a quality briefcase, not considering the price. The leather is gorgeous, and it’s so well-made. I’m working in a corporate office and it makes me feel like I belong there. The compartments are great for keeping my stuff organised and I love the little details like the brass hardware. I didn’t think I’d care this much about a bag but here we are.

The Best Briefcase I've Owned

I have gone through a few briefcases over the years but noting compares to this one. This briefcase is leagues ahead in terms of quality and appearance. The leather feels robust but not too stiff and it has a nice shine without being too in your face or too shiny in that way that’s known of faux leather. The compartments are perfectly sized, I don’t have to cram anything in but it’s also not so big that stuff just floats around. The locking mechanism took a bit of getting used to because it’s a bit different from my old ones, but now I love it. This briefcase is surely a keeper!

Not Just for the Office

Bought for work but has quickly become my go-to bag for just about everything, work meetings, as a carry-on for flights and even for weekends away. I am a minimalist so that probably helps.The weight took some getting used to but now it just feels lke a part of the package

A dependable companion, it is ageing well

I’ve had this briefcase for about a year now and it’s been a dependable companion. The leather is ageing beautifully and the form remains intact, and till now, the lock gives me peace of mind when I need to leave it unattended or when I am out and about.

It stands out nicely

In Dubai, you get used to seeing luxury everywhere but this briefcase genuinely stands out. I wanted something that was both practical and high-end and this leather briefcase hits the mark. The leather is just... wow. It’s smooth, rich, and the color is so deep and vibrant. The interior is just as impressive, with enough space for all my work essentials.

A piece of ITALIAN ART in my hands

Always been a fan of Italian craftsmanship and this bag briefcase doesn’t disappoint. Its like carrying a piece of art to work every day. The leather smells amazing and the stitching is flawless. No really, theres no loose ends. I also personalized it with my name so it feels even more unique. I carry a 15-inch laptop, charger, notebook, and a bunch of other things, and they all fit perfectly. It’s a bit of a splurge but worth every dolllar

It doesn’t scream “expensive” but you can still tell it is

This briefcase is a masterclass in laidback luxury. I’m now in a senior role at my company after a recent promotion and this briefcase perfectly complements my professional image. The interior layout is thoughtful, with just the right amount of space for my laptop, documents, and a few personal effects. I also love that it doesn’t scream “expensive” but still exudes quality. It’s the kind of briefcase that people notice, but in a subtle, admiring way.

An Investment in Professionalism

I’m usually hesitant about spending this much on clothing or accessories but I needed something that screamed professionalism as I started my new job and this briefcase delivered. One of my colleagues even commented on it... the case really sets the tone when I walk into meetings. The brass hardware is solid and the leather has a beautiful rich texture. It’s definitely an investmet but I feel more confident carrying it around.

Hubby was surprised, loved it

Bought this as a present for my husband and he really was surprised because he had no idea, not even a tiny hint. It’s his first birthday as my hubby and I just wanted to make it special and different for him. I went all out and getting him a present was part of the whole day of celebration. The solid brown leather looks so sophisticated and the personalised engraving made it even more special. The packaging was elegant and made it feel like a true luxury item, arrived early too. Fantastic quality and service. Would patronise von baer again.

Stylish and Functional

Love the design and functionality of this briefcase. It fits my laptop perfectly and has plenty of room for other essentials. I was already so used to my old laptop bag that I thought nothing else would come close but that haschanged for sure.

Surprisingly Spacious

I didnt expect this briefcase to be so spacious! The design is compact but I am able to fit in so much and still have room to spare plus it’s so easy to keep everything organized. I love the dark brown color which I chose, so so classic and understated. The brass hardware gives it a bit of flair without being too flashy. I also couldnt miss out on the opportunity of personalizing it:)

Solid Craftsmanship!

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
