Questions about this bag? Talk to us ↗Leather-lined hand-rubbed briefcase
A leather computer bag that is lined in leather, not fabric.
Almost every leather bag at this price has a polyester interior. This one is lined in hide, which is why a 42 x 31 x 10 cm case weighs 1.3 kg. It is the widest bag in our laptop range and also the thinnest, built around a 16-inch machine that most slim briefcases will not take. Hand-rubbed top-grain cowhide outside, leather inside, zip across the top.

At a glance
Why choose this leather computer bag?
A wide, flat office case for people carrying a 16-inch laptop who do not want a bag that looks like equipment.
Laptop fit
Rated for a device up to 16 inches — the largest device fit in our laptop range.
Carry style
Three ways: rolled leather top handles, single shoulder, or crossbody on the detachable strap with its leather shoulder pad.
What to expect
A genuine leather lining rather than polyester, hand-rubbed colour that keeps developing, and reinforced leather corner panels at the base.
In the real world
Built for the 16-inch machine that other slim cases will not take
Wide, flat and leather-lined, with the colour rubbed in by hand.
01 / Forty-Two Across, Ten Deep
The Widest Case Here, and Also the Thinnest
A 16-inch laptop needs width, not depth, so this one is 42 cm across and only 10 cm front to back — the widest bag in our laptop range and the flattest at the same time. A single zip runs the length of the top; there is no flap to lift and nothing to unbuckle. At that depth the case slides between a desk and a chair, goes into an overhead bin edge-on, and stays vertical against the leg instead of swinging.
Width is what fits the machine. Depth is what gets in the way.
Space, considered
Wide and flat: 42 cm across, 10 cm deep, with four pockets around the main compartment.
The proportions are the point. A 16-inch machine needs width, not depth, and depth is what turns a briefcase into a bag you cannot slide anywhere.
Main compartment on a top zip
42 cm of width takes a 16-inch laptop flat, with documents and a notebook beside it. At 10 cm deep the case still slides between a desk and a chair or into an overhead bin edge-on.
Concealed zip pocket and interlayer zip pocket
A hidden zip pocket for a passport or cards, and a zipped interlayer pocket for a charger and cables — kept apart from the screen.
Coin pocket and interior slip pocket
A small pocket for coins, a key or a transit card, plus an open slip pocket on the inner wall for a phone or a folded sheet.
Leather, not lining fabric
The interior surfaces are hide rather than polyester, so the inside of the bag wears the same way the outside does instead of pilling and tearing first.
02 / Sixteen Inches, and Leather on the Inside
A Lining Made of Hide, Not Polyester
Almost every leather bag in this class is lined in fabric. This one is lined in leather, which costs more, weighs more — 1.3 kg — and changes how the bag ages from the inside out: hide scuffs and darkens where polyester pills, snags and tears at the seams. A 16-inch machine lies flat inside, with a concealed zip pocket for a passport, an interlayer zip pocket for the charger, a coin pocket and an open slip pocket.
The part nobody photographs is usually the part that fails first.
Ways to carry
Three carries, with a leather shoulder pad for the 16-inch load.
Rolled leather handles for the room, a detachable strap for everything before it.
Rolled leather top handles
Paired soft handles that close together in the hand. On a flat 42 cm case this is the carry that keeps the bag vertical and against the leg.
Detachable strap with a leather shoulder pad
A single adjustable strap on clip hardware, carrying a wide leather pad — which is what a 16-inch machine plus documents needs on one shoulder. The strap comes off completely.
Crossbody when both hands are busy
The same strap lets out to run across the body, so a wide case stays flat against the back instead of swinging off the hip.
Material, not an afterthought
Hand-rubbed top-grain cowhide, lined in leather.
Top-layer cowhide with the colour rubbed in by hand, over a genuine leather lining, with reinforced leather panels at the base corners.
Top-grain cowhide, hand-rubbed
The colour is worked into the hide by hand rather than sprayed, so it runs deeper along the panel seams and around the hardware and lifts across the flat faces. No two cases are finished alike.
A leather lining, not a fabric one
The listing specifies leather for the interior lining. It costs more and weighs more than polyester, and it is the reason this case is 1.3 kg — but the inside ages instead of fraying.
Reinforced corners, and marks left visible
Separate leather panels wrap the base corners, which is where a flat case takes its knocks. Grain variation, small scratches and surface irregularities are characteristics of the hide, and the hardware carries light oxidation from hand assembly.
03 / Colour Rubbed In by Hand
Brown That Runs Deeper Along Every Seam
The colour here is worked into top-grain cowhide by hand rather than sprayed on, so it pools along the vertical panel seams, around the clip hardware and into the reinforced leather panels at the base corners, and lifts to a warmer tone across the flat faces. Those corner panels are there because a wide flat case takes its knocks at the bottom — against door frames, chair legs, and the floor when you set it down.
Sprayed brown is one tone. Rubbed brown is a range.

Will a 16-inch laptop really fit?
Yes — the listing rates this model for a device up to 16 inches, and at 42 cm wide it is the largest device fit in our laptop range. Most slim briefcases stop at 15.
What does a leather lining actually change?
Two things. It adds weight — this case is 1.3 kg where a fabric-lined one of the same size would be lighter. And it changes how the inside ages: hide scuffs and darkens, where polyester pills, snags and eventually tears at the seams.
Is 10 cm deep enough?
For a 16-inch laptop, documents, a notebook and a charger, yes. It is not deep enough for a change of clothes, which is deliberate — 10 cm is what lets a 42 cm case slide between a desk and a chair instead of standing proud of it.
Can the shoulder strap come off?
Yes. The strap attaches with clip hardware and detaches completely, leaving the rolled leather top handles. It carries a wide leather shoulder pad for when the case is loaded.
Why is the brown uneven?
Because the colour is rubbed into the hide by hand rather than sprayed on. It sits deeper along the panel seams and around the hardware and lighter across the flat faces, and it is different on every case.
What are the panels at the bottom corners?
Separate pieces of leather wrapping the base corners. On a wide flat case that is where the knocks land — against door frames, chair legs and the floor when you set it down.
