The first briefcases (back in Roman times) looked similar to a satchel and were even mentioned in one of Shakespeare’s famous sonnets! In the 19th century, the briefcase started to become associated with the entrepreneur.
Since then, the briefcase has been tied with every kind of businessman (even those below the law) think of the stacks of cash lining the famous television mobsters' briefcases!
At one time it seemed as though the professionals and businesspeople were leaning toward carrying a backpack to transport their things to and from work, but it seems that was a short-lived trend and in 2022 the classier looking briefcase is back in style.

A briefcase is usually meant for carrying things on short trips - between your car and the office for example. If you have a long daily walk to work or need to travel a lot or carry heavy loads on a daily basis, a briefcase may not be your best option.
A briefcase makes a perfect gift for a business or law school graduate as it still carries that symbolism of indicating a professional. Formal attire pairs perfectly with a briefcase because a briefcase is meant to be carried by a handle, so the shoulder strap won’t damage your coat or crumple your freshly ironed shirt. Therefore, if you have a job that requires a suit jacket a briefcase would be an ideal way to carry your important items.
If you don’t require formal dress at your place of work a backpack or messenger bag may be more practical. Today almost all briefcases do come equipped with shoulder straps, but they are meant for short bursts of use - running for the bus for example - not for walking or cycling eight or ten blocks to work.
The most important consideration when you are thinking about which briefcase to buy is knowing what you will be carrying in it. Make sure the briefcase you choose has enough space and compartments so that you can fit everything and stay organized. Sometimes laying everything that you need to carry out on a flat surface can help you decide what kind of bag you will need.
