Reviews
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!"

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."

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."

I live out of my B&R bag
"I am handicapped and I use crutches and or a wheel chair, and I keep everything I need in my Briggs & Riley expandable cross body bag. This keeps my hands free to ambulate. I have had several of their bags. I love the pockets. I know where everything is. I have kept my passport in my B&R bag for more than 20 some years, and I have never lost it. Great company - they have replaced a couple of my bags, but the last bag I got has lasted forever. They clearly learn from every failed component and improve them over time. Way to go, folks! Keep it up. I don’t know what I would do without my Briggs & Riley bag."

Great quality, boring colors
"Very good quality, as always. Love the expandability and all the clever, thoughtful pockets and zips. I WISH the brief came in colors other than navy and black. Very disappointed in that aspect."

This bag is sturdy and
"This bag is sturdy and lightweight. It has a variety of zippered compartments to choose from for storing whatever you may want to carry: laptop, legal pad, files, pens, chargers, etc. One drawback is that it tends to lean forward and even fall on its front, especially when not expanded."
— Ted C. (4/5)
Best briefcase on the market
"Great design, user friendly, just the right size, and quality materials. Compared with other high quality briefcases and this one was far and away the winner!"

Fits More, Feels Better — A True Professional’s Brief
"I previously had a briefcase from another good brand and was very happy with it for years. However, I recently found this brief from Briggs & Riley, and it’s on another level. It’s much more structured, which means I can fit more items in the same space and keep everything well organized. The zippers are far superior, and the shoulder strap is extremely ergonomic. My 15-inch thick workstation laptop fits perfectly. Overall, a fantastic upgrade — worth every penny."

Good quality bag, though a bit large
"The bag is good quality, however I wish there had been more pictures of the bag with an actual person as it turns out to be a bit bigger than I anticipated based solely on the product photos and listed dimensions. No problems in quality but I might not keep it as it is too big for my needs."
