My purchase came at the end of a long search because I had a number of criteria - full grain leather, silver colored hardware, good looking and contemporary design, quality, and highly water resistant. The last point was important to me because I live in Seattle and walk to work, and I did not want to spend six months of the year worrying about getting my briefcase wet because my umbrella failed to protect it completely. This bag aces all of these criteria. As others have said, it the leather is quite soft yet holds its shape well. The briefcase also holds more than one would expect. Maybe because the leather has just enough flex? My only wish is that the leather had a bit more richness/depth to it and potential for patina, but I knew about that going in. Overall, great bag and service in receiving it. I expect to use it for many years.

Slim Briefcase

It’s great!

I've owned the black version for 3 years now, and it's by far the best briefcase I've owned. It's so great in fact, that my wife just bought be the same one in brown, which I can use for different situations. The quality is unmatched - this bag is incredible value. Highly recommended.

First, the shipping was super fast and accurate.
Second, once I grabbed the UPS box I thought it was empty- that's how light this bag is.
Third, the leather is very impressive and of high quality.

I compared this bag to another bag I wanted by MontBlanc and I have to say the weight and over all build and simplicity made me choose LeDaveed.

Best!
