It’s Time for a New, Old-Fashioned Briefcase. Here’s the One to Buy

More than a watch or a pen or a tie, the right briefcase can subtly telegraph style and professionalism while serving a conspicuously utilitarian purpose. It’s the object you heave onto a conference table, rifle through at a lunch meeting and rely on for an elegant commute. Given that most classic briefcases do basically the same thing (open and close and carry things), the best are set apart through design, materials and build-quality. With its clean lines, manageable size and timeless, discreet aesthetic, the Pur two-compartment briefcase from R. Horn’s Wien is guaranteed to deliver function in a form you’ll want to have by your side for decades.
