The William Collection: Continental Briefcase

A briefcase that goes to the office five days a week and the airport every few weeks needs to hold up to more than a desk chair — it needs hardware that won't fail mid-commute and a laptop compartment that actually protects what's inside. The William Collection Continental Briefcase is Will Leather Goods' flagship work bag, built from certified full-grain, vegetable-tanned Italian leather for exactly that kind of daily use.

A smooth-running brass, made-in-USA UCAN zipper secures the main compartment, and an exterior leather-framed zippered pocket keeps a phone within reach without opening the bag. Inside, a padded laptop and tablet sleeve, phone pocket, eyeglass pocket, two pen loops, and a solid brass key ring keep the essentials organized, while a gel-padded stacked leather top handle and a detachable, adjustable crossbody strap give you the choice of hand carry, shoulder, or crossbody depending on the day.
