Why it's here

Tom Ford is known for glamour, and this case shows the discipline underneath it. The shape is a clean rectangle with crisp corners, in matte black, and the hardware is the only thing that catches light. It is the sharpest silhouette among our briefcases, the one to carry with a peak-lapel suit when the meeting matters.

The object

Full-grain calf is the top layer of the hide, left with its natural surface, which is why it wears so well. The panels are cut and edged precisely so the case stands straight when you set it down. The handles are reinforced, and a strap clips on for days when you need both hands.

Living with it

It holds a laptop and documents and little more, which keeps you from overfilling it. Wipe it with a soft cloth and condition the leather twice a year. Black calf of this quality only gets better with a little wear at the corners.
