The No. 2 briefcase fits in wherever you do business. The impressive premium leather messenger briefcase combines a timeless design with modern functionality.
Handcrafted in Florence, Italy from the finest premium Italian leather—full-grain vegetable-tanned cow leather — and available in several classic colors. The inside of the No. 2 has been 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. Robust lock-and-key closures keep your things safe but easily accessible for you when you need them. 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.

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.
We recommend treating your leather accessory once a month with our Premium Leather Cream. First, remove any dirt or dust from the leather with a cloth. Then apply a thin and even layer of the cream on dry and clean leather with a cotton cloth in circular movements. Allow to dry and then polish.
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 free worldwide express shipping on all orders over $500.

CERTIFIED ITALIAN VEGETABLE-TANNED LEATHER
Von Baer products are crafted using premium vegetable-tanned Italian leather. Because we believe in the importance of sustainability, each of our product comes with a certificate of leather origin. The trademark Pelle Conciata al Vegetale in Toscana (Tuscan Vegetable-Tanned Leather) guarantees the quality and origin of the leather. It encompasses not just the material itself but also how it has been treated.
MADE IN ITALY
It is not without reason that Italy is known as the land of true artisans. All our products are made in Florence, Italy in family-owned studios, where the tradition of leather craftsmanship has been passed down generations. Believing that our customers deserve the best and showing our appreciation for this masterful heritage craft, we are ready to pay honest production prices for the high-quality work being put into each product.
FINE ITALIAN COTTON LINING
We ensure that all our products are beautiful inside and out. We use natural thick and robust Italian cotton canvas lining. Unlike synthetic materials, it is sustainable and pleasant to touch. Moreover, the cotton lining is long-lasting thanks to the well-known Italian grasp of impeccable textile manufacturing. Due to this, an ordinary fabric like cotton is turned into something that will serve well to those who expect the highest quality.
JAPANESE YKK ZIPPERS
Your product is only as good as its weakest link. You don’t want to throw away your bag after a couple of months of use simply because the zipper didn’t hold up. That’s why we only use the renowned YKK zippers for our products.
SUSTAINABILITY
When choosing Von Baer products, you can be sure that you’re not only getting something stylish and high quality but are also supporting a sustainable business and traditional craftsmanship. We do our business in a way that supports local communities and does not harm the planet.

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