Carrying it by hand
This Coach briefcase has grab handles, shown as a pair of short rolled leather handles, so it can be carried by hand rather than over the shoulder. The merchant page also notes an adjustable removable crossbody strap as an alternative carrying option.[1,2]
Carry it hands-free over the shoulder or crossbody
The Metropolitan Briefcase comes with grab handles plus an adjustable, removable crossbody strap, so you can sling it over your shoulder or across your body when you'd rather not carry it by hand. The strap is shown in black fabric with metal swivel hook clips, and can be taken off when you prefer to carry it as a briefcase.[1,3]
Carrying a laptop to work
A briefcase with a padded laptop compartment, designed to hold and protect a laptop while commuting or heading to the office.[1]
Securing everyday items in a lockable main compartment
For carrying and storing belongings, the Coach Metropolitan Briefcase offers a main compartment with a lockable zip closure. A padlock and key are included, and the top zipper runs along the top edge with two zipper pulls that meet near the handles.[1,3]
Secure Main Compartment
The main compartment of the Metropolitan Briefcase features a lockable zip closure. It is equipped with a corresponding padlock and key to help secure your belongings.[1]
Keeping small items sorted in inner pockets
The Coach Metropolitan Briefcase includes multiple small inner pockets, which the merchant describes as practical. That makes it a fit for organizing cards, keys, and other small essentials inside a work bag. Simons notes the practical quality itself, so how the pockets suit your routine may come down to personal preference.[1]
Storing your briefcase between uses
When you're not carrying the Metropolitan Briefcase, you can tuck it into the signature storage bag included with the bag. The dust bag is designed to help keep the briefcase protected while it sits in a closet or drawer.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Metropolitan Briefcase: Choose this if you want a slim genuine leather briefcase for work: it measures 16 by 12.25 by 2.25 inches (40.5 by 31 by 5.5 cm) and includes a padded laptop compartment, a lockable main zipper with padlock and key, and a removable, adjustable crossbody strap alongside grab handles. The glove-tanned leather shell comes in one size with Black or Brown color options. Note the shallow 2.25 inch depth, which suits flat documents and essentials rather than bulky loads.[1] | Mott Messenger Bag: Choose this if you want a spacious, minimalist leather messenger for everyday carry: it is a slouchy, utilitarian style crafted of natural grain leather with a soft feel, with a secure full-width zip closure, an adjustable shoulder or crossbody strap with a 10.5 inches drop, and an inside snap pocket for organization. Its cavernous main pocket is reported to fit a computer, hat, scarf, and even a lightweight coat with room to spare, and one reviewer found it pairs with a wide range of styles, including a suit (though traditionalists might prefer an attaché). Note that the bag lacks padding to protect sensitive electronics, so packing a computer without a case would not be a great idea, according to the review.[4,5,6,7] | Mott 38 Suede Messenger Bag: Choose this if you want a mid-size suede messenger: one owner of all three Mott sizes calls the 38 the Goldilocks pick, not overwhelmingly big like the OG Mott, and another buyer at 5 feet 8 inches felt the 38 suited their frame. It offers genuine suede with dark leather trim, an adjustable leather crossbody strap with an 18-inch drop, a top zip closure, an interior snap pocket plus an exterior back slip pocket, and a signature storage bag included. Note that one owner who loves theirs found they sometimes carry more than it fits and wished they had chosen the larger 56, and owners note suede Mott bags soften and slouch as they break in over time.[8,9,10,11,12,13,14] |
