For reference, I have been looking at this one for a long time without ever quite mustering the will to fling one of my long-suffering credit cards at it.

(And I know nothing of the brand, so I have no idea if it is sturdy enough to justify the cost)

@jalefkowit I recommend Chapman, but I don't have this briefcase. Should be very durable. https://chapmanmade.uk/products/minimalist-briefcase?variant=55161610207608

@jalefkowit I like Waterfield’s messenger bags, and they’ve got some briefcase style ones. $$$ but well built.

@mwyman ooo, those messenger bags look really nice

@jalefkowit oh, turns out the more recent one I bought is the Air Porter Carry On bag, which is briefcase style. But I also have the executive messenger bag. Both are great, and holding up well to years of daily use.

@jalefkowit I’ve literally carried two laptops, a 13” iPad, and a rangefinder camera + extra lens in the Air Porter while traveling. It got heavy, but held everything comfortably.

@jalefkowit and it fits upright under many airplane seats

@gnomon Isn’t that the brand that made an epic video a decade-ish ago where the founder explained to would-be counterfeiters how to save the most money when copying his bags?

@oscherler @jalefkowit that does sound like a vaguely familiar stunt, yes.
