There are some classic briefcases for women that have been around for a while — in fact, this Dooney & Burke option has been around since at least 2010 and the Palissy Briefcase from Carl Friedrik is also a big favorite.
I feel like this is briefcase-adjacent. It’s gorgeous! I love how it’s like a cross between a padfolio and a laptop sleeve — almost like an elevated redweld. This folder is $150 at Leatherology and available in 5 different colors.
This “briefcase for women” at Amazon looks great. I like the options of the long strap (handy for your commute) and the shorter handles (more attractive), and the fact that it’s real cowhide but under $180 is great.
It’s somewhat rare to see a briefcase that converts into a backpack – so this one from Senreve is appreciated! The bag comes in a ton of colors, and there are even “vegan leather” options for $695-$995.
To my eyes, in 2023 it’s rare to see a briefcase. Most women I know carry a tote bag for when they need space to carry documents, and/or a backpack when they really need to carry a laptop.
