Many full-leather bags are beautiful but burdensome; we selected the \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"205\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eHeritage Leather Briefcase\u003c\/b\u003e because it achieves a disciplined 3 lb weight without sacrificing the integrity of the hide. Handcrafted by the masters at Mission Mercantile, this piece utilizes a unique double-tanning process that results in a marbled, vintage-inspired finish. It aligns perfectly with our \"buy less, buy better\" philosophy—a functional heirloom designed to save your back while standing the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0\"\u003e\"As a designer, I carry a briefcase or backpack daily as a mobile studio,\" says Jordan. \"I carry my notebook, computer gear, and portable drives every day, and I’ve found that cheaper products simply don't stand the test of time.
