good luck on your quest man...too many kids in here to get an honest answer, to be honest

I know Kenneth Cole makes some..when I get the $$ I'll buy a Tumi.....

I had Tumi bags in the past but have actually been disappointed in them because their latches seem to be poorly made and tend to break on me. My last bag was a Victorinox Swiss Army which I like. They have similar style and functionality of a Tumi, but at about 2/3 the cost.

I use a Victorinox shoulder bag to carry my laptop to work. But I actually leave it at work 90% of the time.

+1 how could I forget Victorinox...has a laptop case by them years ago...it was great!
Im also a fan of Samsonite for my luggage...and I'd assume they make fairly decent briefcases as well///by briefcase I mean the nylon/leather ones of new..not the old school rectangular ones

Tumi

persian54 · 04-07-2011, 07:22 PM

Still using a backpack. Too much crap to carry.

I don't use it daily but when I do it's certainly a quality piece. Was a graduation gift I'm not at all aware of it's price point, but the leather, lining, and locks all seem to be quality stuff. Can't comment on durability, however, as many work environments I go to are not "briefcase" type environments, but like I said it more than gets the job done when I do need to use it

on a day-to-day basis, I use a leather Coach messenger bag. Has a shoulder strap for the trains/subways I need to take.

I'f I'm meeting with a client and need to impress, I'll bring a Tanner Krolle briefcase. Definitely more traditional, but has nice details and the leather is great.
