I ordered this briefcase for our law school grad. Your first briefcase should be of quality and if so, will last over your career. When it arrived the first thing to hit me when I opened the box was the genuine leather smell. Intoxicating! The briefcase is gorgeous looking and the inner compartments are lined with a light suede. It has pockets for pens and iphone case. Plenty of sleeves for laptop. We had initials embossed and they are subtle but classy. More of an identifier than flashy which is nice. In short, the briefcase is lovelier in real life than depicted on website.
