I wonder who won the last backpack... I liked that one more :( Though, the two tone black brief is nice looking.
 
Nice looking I suppose. And good quality. But I like other styles that are cheaper better.

The problem here is value. Unless you have fairly disposable funds in excess, those prices are high for the function. Not a very large market there. $275-$500 briefcases. I'll pass.
 
$300 is way, way, way, more than I'm willing to spend on a bag, but holy cow the Briefcase looks awesome. I don't even care that much about the full-leather, the waxed canvas and leather is awesome looking enough! (Especially with that shade of green.)

I ordered a wooden Apple Watch and IPhone charging stand from them for my husband and it is beautiful and my husband loves it. I got good service and communication from them on my order, too. As a woman who has bought a few designer bags for friends and family and myself, I think their prices look fair for the quality and design that these bags seem to offer.

This is a very nice offer indeed. Thanks!

Or don't. I've had an iPhone since the first launch daY, and many other Apple products since. My first two broken screens were in Pad and Quill cases. An iPad mini 2 and an iPhone 5s.

Their products are beautiful, yes, but they're expensive and don't protect your electronics.
 
I was going to complain that this is US only but then I remembered I got Civ V for free a few weeks ago so I'll just say I'm still thankful.

I love love love the backpack! The other 2 are equally as nice! Thank you for the opportunity!
 
Whoa, I'm in. I just purchased their 12" Macbook Valet Luxury Sleeve and it is a thing of beauty! Fits my iPhone and iPad 2 too.
 
I've got to say that Luxury Briefcase looks like you could pass it down several generations. My daughter has a Dooney & Burke briefcase that I purchased for my spouse in the 80's it just gets better with time. The bag, not marriage ;)

Agreed. I have two bags I bought in the late 90s that I regularly return to using as newer bags have broken. Both have been dropped with laptops in them - dropped *HARD* - and the laptops survived, and the bags survived unscathed. One is just too small for a 15" laptop, the other a bit bigger than I really like; so I end up getting a newer bag, which dies.
