Agreed. It’s never occurred to me to attempt to coordinate them with what I’m wearing or attempt to convey any particular style message with them.

Ooh, and for a bit more of a splurge ($898, or about $763 with the 15% off) . . . they have this “Lawyer’s Briefcase” –

It’s a lot but it’s a gift & it’s handmade in the USA (not outsourced to China), so one can hope that it will last him at least half a lifetime. And so elegant!

Try Clark and Mayfield from Portland Oregon. Lovely leather bags, good prices. Rolling and carry-style.

Not sure how much you want to spend but if it’s within budget: Cole Haan, Tumi & Brooks Brothers all make great options. Cole Haan a biut more trendy than the others but still classic & well made. These aren’t cheap but they are well made & if you have any outlets near you, you can snag a great deal!

This one below, I think, is lovely — youthful but classic, and if you have a corporate card, you can get 15% off the price (usually available through most law schools’ alumni services and through many bar associations [e.g., NYSBA] )

At first glance I thought this was leather! I’m sure it’s just my computer screen though. The styling is very nice, but finding things to wear it with would be tricky. I think I would do a pair of ultra-matte, jet black slacks (or maybe pinstripe), a bright top, and some pointy black pumps/flats. I would have to see it in person to know for sure though.

Thanks all. My husband is definitely more traditional, and he is talking about a leather briefcase/shoulder bag, not a wheeled bag. Ebags looks like a possibility, and other suggestions are welcome!
