Of course, we're talking about ladies briefcases! No need to buy the same case that your father, brother and husband buy. Now there's a huge selection designed with women in mind. They are available in every kind of leather imaginable and in every color. Because women like fashion, the color and type of leather and style is dictated by what is popular in the leather goods industry. Besides red, black, and tan, there are also rich cranberry colors, caramel, navy and grass green. For the adventurous, there's fuchsia, buttercup yellow, cream, chartreuse, orange, petal pink and pool blue. Many of the cases are designed to hold a laptop, your cell phone, any and all types of PDA cases, glasses and keys. There's usually a zipper pocket inside where you can hide personal items or just tuck away some money. One of the popular brands of briefs for ladies is Lodis. There designs are associated with superb quality and meticulous attention to details as well as unique and innovative designs and styles. They make a selection in sleek and supple calf leather with shiny nickel hardware. They also have smooth grain Italian leathers in many fashion forward colors. All of them have the organization pockets inside that woman appreciate. Matching wallets and notepad covers to match are also available. For women that like the softer leathers, they have a soft drum dyed leather accented with contrasting stitching. Saffiano leather is softly grained leather that keeps its new look for years and years. While the majority of women prefer leather, there is a large selection available in micro fiber that is waterproof and often has leather trim. Lodis is a popular brand for this fabric, along with Tumi, Victorinox Swiss Army, Hobo Accessories and Kenneth Cole.

The classic Italian grained croco-leather is a popular look. Jack Georges and Lodis are two of the popular manufacturers of this beautiful long lasting leather for women. Jack Georges has many ladies tote style briefs in his line. These are handy because they are designed like an oversized handbag. They can carry small amounts and large amounts of papers, etc., when necessary. This leather is known for its durability, strength and scratch resistance. Because of the expandable insides, they can even accommodate a pair of shoes, or a folding umbrella when necessary. Kenneth Cole designs their cases in traditional black full grain cowhide leathers. They have roomy double compartments and are fully lined. They offer both the convenient top handles and removable, adjustable shoulder straps. Their organizers will accommodate a variety of business essentials. They are a well-known brand in both discount luggage and business cases.
Where would women be without rolling business cases? Sometimes, we just need to roll our papers along. McKlein is known for their superb quality and innovative designs for women in this field. The wheels and extendable handle are removable so the case can be carried on it's own. This is accomplished by a SmartZipper, which simply unzips the wheel housing from the leather briefcase. Because of this easy to use design, these cases are ideal for travel. Wheeled cases are a little roomier, and will store all of your necessary travel accessories as well as necessary incidentals. The patented system, which allows you to completely detach the wheel and handle system, serves you well in multiple environments. Whether it's a lighter load or a crowded space, sometimes just a shoulder brief simply works better.

For outstanding price and quality, Dilana is the brand women desire. Each leather case has a unique leather trimmed organized inside which will accommodate all of the business essentials a women could possibly need. They are available in soft nappa leathers as well as polished Italian leathers. Tote styles have adjustable straps, which can be made longer or shorter by the push of a button. Women know they need longer handles in the colder months to accommodate bulky coats and jackets. In the warmer months, you need shorter handles. Dilana briefcases are known for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. These are very often used as popular corporate gifts and can be embossed or hot stamped with a company logo or name. Individual initials can also be monogrammed on the leather to personalize the case. Briefcases are your own personal statement in the business world. Now successful, smart, stylish women can show their fashion sense and their own individuality.
