Product Insights
Le 31's Woven Faux-Leather Briefcase combines a tactile basket-weave exterior with a slim 2.75-inch profile, mimicking classic attaché proportions while hiding scratches via pebbled texture. At CAD 145, it offers curated design from Simons' exclusive Canadian brand, but the minimalist interior—only a laptop sleeve, two snap pockets, and a zippered main compartment—limits carrying capacity to slim items, and laptops must be 2.75 inches or thinner to fit.
Verified claims
- Woven surface
- Basket-weave pattern adds tactile dimensionality not found in smooth faux-leather competitors.
- Profile
- Slim 2.75-inch profile mimics classic woven attaché proportions, unlike 3.7-inch budget alternatives.
- Brand authenticity
- Le 31 is Simons' exclusive designed-in-Canada brand, offering curated design at CAD 145.
- Material
- Woven faux-leather with pebbled texture that hides scratches; vegan-friendly.
- Design
- Slim 2.75-inch depth with minimalist interior: zip main, two snap pockets, laptop sleeve.
- Scratch concealment
- Pebbled texture hides scratches and scuffs better than smooth faux leather.
- Interior
- No extra organizers: the main zippered space has only two snap pockets and a padded laptop sleeve.
- Laptop fit
- The 2.75-inch depth makes this a slim briefcase intended for thin laptops and a light accessory load rather than thick or bulky laptops.
- Carrying capacity
- Non-laptop storage is limited to a slim profile; bulky items will not fit.
- Value
- At $145, this faux-leather briefcase costs less than typical leather alternatives.
- Vegan/animal-free
- The pebbled faux leather uses no animal hides and is made from recycled polyester and polyurethane, so the briefcase fits a vegan lifestyle while keeping a structured office look.
- Strap-pad quality control
- One buyer reports the leather shoulder strap pad arrived with a scuffed and peeled edge that exposed white material, describing it as a quality-control miss on an otherwise nice bag.
- Interior pocket depth
- The interior pockets are a little too shallow to carry small items like a pen or a pair of glasses, according to one buyer.

Carrying a laptop to work
This woven faux-leather briefcase has a padded laptop compartment, so it can be used to transport a laptop while commuting or heading to the office.[1]

It offers two main zippered compartments with two-way zips and small practical inner pockets, plus twin top grab handles and an adjustable, removable crossbody strap with polished silver hardware. It comes in Black or Brown in a single size, and the material is animal-free polyurethane rather than genuine leather.[5,6,7] | Faux Croc Leather Briefcase: Choose this if you want a slim, black briefcase for carrying a laptop by hand or crossbody: it has two top handles plus an adjustable, removable shoulder strap, a zippered inner compartment intended for a laptop, practical inner pockets, and an internal zip pocket. It measures 15 inches long by 11.5 inches high by 2 inches wide and comes in a single one-size variant. Note the shell is polyurethane faux leather with a croc-like embossed texture, so it is not genuine leather, and the 2-inch width keeps it flat rather than bulky.[8,9,10] |

a near perfect tote/briefcase
I bought this in the brown and absolutely love it... classic in style, comfortable handles and sturdy detachable strap. My only critiques are it's a little heavy to carry in comparison to some other totes I own, and the interior pockets are a little too shallow to carry something like a pen or pair of glasses.
The bag is really nice but…..
Upon opening the box, the item was really stunning then the damper showed in a second. The leather shoulder strap pads showed a scuffed and peeled edge which showed a white material so the contrast was evident. I just covered it with a marker but that being said quality control went south. A nice bag but a simple glitch makes it ugly for me. Quality control people should check before shipping to a loyal customer!!!
