Know before you buy
With dimensions of 17" W x 12" H, this briefcase comfortably fits most standard 15-inch laptops. The 3-inch depth provides enough room for a slim laptop sleeve, a notebook, and essential documents.
Yes, the briefcase includes an adjustable strap that can be detached if you prefer to carry it solely by the top handle. This allows for a more formal look when transitioning from a commute to a meeting.
The push lock closure is designed for quick, one-handed access while keeping your belongings secure during transit. It provides a reliable seal that is both functional and aesthetically clean.
As this is crafted from high-quality leather, we recommend using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and hydrated. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture to maintain the finish of the hide.
The interior is lined with a high-quality canvas/fabric blend, which is chosen for its durability and resistance to wear. It is designed to withstand the daily friction of electronics, pens, and files.
Every Korchmar Diplomat briefcase is handmade in the United States. This domestic production ensures a high standard of craftsmanship and attention to detail in the stitching and hardware assembly.
