Reviews

Excellent for compartments.

"The interior compartmenta are excellent and it’s a comfortable bag to carry in my hands. However the bag topples when I put a laptop in it, not very good for a laptop bag. Also the placement of the front buckle for shoulder strap gets in the way of the front compartment zipper. I am still glad that I purchased the bag but would not have expected the toppling of the bag or the poorly placed shoulder strap buckles."

— Mr S. (4/5)

Great Quality - and Lighter than expected

"The bag is great quality, well made and really well thought-out with every useful pocket just where you want it - and it’s lighter than expected too. The shoulder strap is comfy and supports the bag well, with its diagonal configuration which is really good. Its an upgrade on a Samsonite bag, without paying the money of a Tumi - a great balance."

— John K. (5/5)

Excellent case, perfect flight bag

"The case is really well thought out, with great, practical pockets and compartments throughout. I particularly like the passport pocket in the top and the upright pocket on the side, perfect for storing a high viz jacket. Well made and sturdy, I suspect the will last me to the end of my flying career."

— Chris B. (5/5)

Great Bag

"It's so cozy and whatever you can think of it fits. Its very well made and quality product. I've been using similar bag of Tumi all my life and in that one difference i found which is very annoying is while walking with the bag on shoulder, the chains are constantly touching each other making noise. It's not something I would expect from such quality bag which is flawless in all aspects otherwise."

— Niyati K. (5/5)

Impressive Top Quality Product

"The product I purchased exceeded my expectations in terms of design and quality fabric. It has been designed after careful research and feedback from people who have executive roles and travel frequently. The design is intuitive and the fabric is tough, hard wearing which means it always looks good even after being knocked around! Love my bag!"

— Ben W. (5/5)

Love it with the Essential carry-on

"Love this to go with my Essential Carry-On 22” spinner as I love the J Hook system. It fits everything I need, including laptop and iPad, charges, water bottle, and I don’t even use the expandable feature. It might not fit under some seats expanded, not the bags fault as goes qualify as a personal Item, just some planes have a really low under seat profile. Highly recommend as partner to the carry on. I don’t miss a backpack at all as using it with the J Hook system has taken the weight off the top of my carry on and feels so much better for travel."

— Amber R. (5/5)

Expandable Brief Case

"This briefcase is awesome. Very high quality for work and travel. Compact enough for carry on international travel and will fit laptop, Leica q 3 camera, files and other valuable items you want to keep close. Beautiful construction and worth the expense. No regrets with purchase."

— Mark O. (5/5)

This is THE best and

"This is THE best and highest quality brief bag I have ever owned. The quality and organization is beyond compare. Briggs and Riley are high quality bags. I’m still using a rolling suitcase that I have had for about 15 yrs (I travel a lot and it takes a lot of wear and tear and packing beyond what I should put in it). It is comforting knowing that if a defect or breakage occurs, B& R will repair or replace with no hassle, that is the security we get for paying for this quality. This brief bag has an expandable zipper section to increase capacity if needed. I carry it daily to work in a medical clinic, but is also is the same bag I travel with, so I do not have to change things out. I absolutely love it. It slides on top of my rolling suitcase (22inch). I never like having a bag that does not have a way to be either rolled, or on a roller because a bag can get heavy if has to be carried across an airport or a lengthy parking lot or street. I have discovered that you can travel with these two bags and go about anywhere and do anything without having to check luggage."

— Timbi W. (5/5)

Q&A

Hi, Can you please let me know the launch date. I am buying a personalization patch: Good Morning Supra, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. I show that bag is currently available on our website. The new @work personalization bag is the same as the baseline.
