The No.2 briefcase fits in wherever you do business. The impressive premium leather messenger briefcase combines a timeless design with modern functionality.
The No.2 is handcrafted in Northern Italy from the finest premium Italian full-grain vegetable-tanned cow leather and is available in several classic colors. The interior is lined with hard-wearing cotton canvas and convenient compartments make it easy to carry your everyday and business essentials fully organized. Comfortably pack up to a 15.6” laptop and don't worry about whether or not it will be secure as the back compartment has padding on both sides.
Solid brass hardware showcases timeless elegance and durability, ensuring the product's longevity. Robust lock-and-key closures keep your things safe but easily accessible for you when you need them. While the dual lock-and-key closures enhance security, they may require a moment longer to operate than a single lock, ensuring your belongings are doubly protected. You will also find two zipped pockets — one in the front under the flap and one in the back. Forget about flimsy top handles — we've designed these to be sturdy and reliable. Equally, you can opt for the adjustable shoulder or cross-body strap for a more casual style.
When ordering from us, you’ll receive everything ready to be gifted. Our bags come with a handmade cotton dust bag. Please use it when storing the bag to help the leather remain in good condition and develop a rich patina over time. Additionally, all smaller items such as wallets and belts will arrive beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, a gift box, and a gift bag.

We offer product personalization—embossing and engraving—for most of our leather accessories. Add initials, names, dates, logos, phrases, or personal messages to create a truly thoughtful and one of a kind gift of sentimental value that can be cherished for years to come.
You’ll find personalization options on the product page of your chosen item. Select embossing or laser engraving before checkout, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Once your order is placed, we'll promptly send an email featuring a visual representation of the engraving for your selected product, ensuring it meets your expectations before the personalization process begins.
Vegetable-tanned Cuoio Superiore leather may vary slightly in texture and color across different parts or products, and, in some cases, include small, occasional scars, inherent to the hide's natural surface. These marks are not defects but rather are indicative of authenticity, highlighting the material's quality and our commitment to natural beauty. Below, you'll find illustrations that showcase these features. If you prefer a more uniform look, there are cheaper alternatives available that are extensively chemically treated for consistency. However, they lack the longevity and evolving rich patina that our vegetable-tanned leather offers.
To preserve these distinctive features and ensure your leather accessory ages gracefully, we recommend treating it once a month with our Premium Leather Cream. This regular maintenance not only enhances the longevity of your accessory but also complements the unique characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather.
We offer free worldwide express shipping on all orders over $100.

This superior-grade, vegetable-tanned leather is selected with utmost care, ensuring a product that matures beautifully over time.

Does a 17inch laptop fit here as well in the No.2 Briefcase? The measurements should actually allow it? Thanks Nadeen
