Product Insights

The Le 31 Faux-Leather Trim Briefcase combines a scuff-resistant matte piqué fabric with a removable crossbody strap for clean conversion between carry styles, magnetic-button front and rear zip pockets for silent quick-draw access, and Canadian design at $145—a value that undercuts brands like Want Les Essentiels; however, the piqué fabric requires spot cleaning with mild soap and air drying, no machine washing.

Verified claims

Fabric feel
Matte piqué fabric provides a fabric-hand feel and low-key aesthetic distinct from shiny PU or nylon.
Durability
The honeycomb-textured piqué knit provides built-in tensile durability for everyday commuting.
Canadian design heritage
Canadian-designed Simons briefcase; minimalist aesthetic at $145, undercuts brands like Want Les Essentiels.
Fabric aesthetic
Piqué fabric provides a matte, fabric-hand feel distinct from typical PU-leather or nylon briefcases.
Detachable strap
Detachable crossbody strap converts bag from crossbody to top-handle briefcase without leftover clips.
Silent pocket access
The magnetic-button flap pocket and rear zip pocket create quick external access for a phone or transit card; the magnetic flap snaps shut silently.
Value
As a Simons house brand, Le 31 bypasses third-party brand markup, so the full 145 CAD price is allocated to materials and construction.
Cleaning
Spot clean the piqué shell with a mild soap and water solution and let it air dry; wipe the faux-leather trim with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Pocket access vs sub-$200
The magnetic-button front flap and rear zip pocket create a quick-draw external access system that rarely appears on sub-$200 briefcases, where exterior pockets usually close with loud Velcro or fumbling zippers.
