Product Insights
Paul Smith's Double Zip Leather Briefcase, priced at CAD 1,395, occupies a premium tier between a central-stripe folio and collector pieces, signaled by gold-leaf logo, Signature Stripe piping, and a dust bag. Its grained cowhide leather, LWG-certified with a Bronze rating (specific tier undisclosed), develops a patina that contrasts with the fixed 40-colour stripe—a heritage nod to Savile Row subversion. The slim piping makes the stripe office-appropriate, but the bag's interior lacks pen loops and a key clip, offering only an inner pocket and a compartment that fits just slim 13-inch or smaller laptops (1-inch maximum depth), a key tradeoff for functionality.
