We’re well into the swing of the working year so there’s no better time to invest in a new briefcase. Far from its stuffy, corporate origins, the classic briefcase has been given a chic reimagining this season, promising to carry you from a day in the office to dinner, drinks and beyond with ease. Matching practicality with polish, these are the bags to invest in right now.

Gucci’s GG Embossed briefcase offers a taste of the brand’s signature cool (without anything more), and Bottega Veneta’s Intreccaiato Leather briefcase brings a modern face to a traditional weave. For those who seek solace in simplicity, you can’t look past The Cross briefcase by a local favourite, Dadelszen.
