Whitehall Leather Shoulder Bag

Briefcase proportions, worn on a strap rather than carried.

This is the bag for a day that starts at a desk and ends somewhere else. It has the shape and the internal structure of a slim briefcase — a padded sleeve, a document section, a zipped pocket — but the strap is long enough to wear across the body and the leather is soft enough to sit against you rather than swing.

Cowhide throughout, with the flap cut from a single piece so it holds a clean line instead of curling at the corners.

Why You'll Love It

A briefcase makes you carry it; a shoulder bag lets you forget about it. This is the second thing with the internal discipline of the first — documents stay flat, the tablet stays padded, and nothing migrates to the bottom. The hide is waxed through, so the inevitable scrape against a door frame lifts out under a thumb rather than staying there as a pale line.
