With the holiday period at its end, notions of starting the working year afresh are front of mind. As such, we’ve curated five luxury briefcases to see you arrive back in the office with a renewed style.

Louis Vuitton Soft Trunk Briefcase

Louis Vuitton’s trunks are at the core of the maison and here the Soft Trunk Briefcase plays on its legacy. The black and grey monogram eclipse canvas is met with boxy lines and reinforced corners while the leather top handles and a removable shoulder strap add carrying options.  Elsewhere multiple inside pockets and an outside back pocket make it a practical everyday addition.

Hermès Sac À Dépêches 2-38 Briefcase

Taking a classic route back to work, Hermès’ à Dépêches remains a favourite at team Robb Report. Its clean design – typified by its palladium plated hardware and elegant handle – is made from Togo calfskin leather. The pouch with a single accordion pleat is now lighter than before and is designed to be carried in hand or under the arm.

Bottega Veneta Briefcase

Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato bags are something to behold. Here, in the colour ‘camping’ (a dark green), this briefcase goes against the traditional hues of black and brown offering a modern update to your look. The adjustable and detachable shoulder strap, zip closure and unlined suede interior see it add a practical element to your working day while the woven leather design sets you apart from the crowd.
