Product Insights
Le 31's Textured Faux-Leather Briefcase, an exclusive Simons in-house design, delivers a slim portfolio-like silhouette with a 3.5-inch profile and uniform shiny silver hardware for a refined, polished look that hides scratches and resists abrasion better than smooth leather. At CAD 145, it undercuts BOSS and Lacoste briefcases with similar hardware while matching Herschel's pricing, but the narrow depth and absence of a dedicated padded sleeve restrict laptop compatibility to thin models or tablets.

Surprised on the Quality
Purchased as a gift and there was an obvious tear in the seam. Returned with no issues but the seam was wavy and looked a little cheap. That said my son-in-law was happy with it (looks good enough & perfect size). Only $125. 00 so overall still good value I suppose.
