The most expensive briefcases
Share
Change, they say, is one of the most certain things that occur in this world. For instance, women now working alongside men, is one of the biggest changes that transpired in the corporate landscape. Women wearing pants at work is another example of change.
The corporate male’s briefcase underwent several evolutions before it became what it is today. Back then, it only housed papers, or briefs, hence the term. Today, modern briefcases include sleeves for laptops, documents, and even a port for your music players.
But what has not changed since 1926 is that the briefcase has remained an essential accessory that completes the modern corporate man’s ensemble. Working beautifully in unison with your fancy leather shoes, striking tie, crisp suit, and gleaming cuff links, there is no reason why the corporate man should go to work without a briefcase in hand. Here are the top 10 luxurious designer briefcases for men.
