Asprey briefcases with pics

[zakkie13901]

they looked like full grain calf... i'm wondering if it might be better to stick with my original choice of bridle leather from tanner krolle?

Elegant, to be sure, but I rather think the TK would both bear a great deal more weight, and age more gracefully...

Please refer to "Tanner Krolle briefcases and holdalls" comments on the board.

I would prefer something larger -inherited - with patina and scar tissue; burn marks and scuffs and bumps and big handmade brass locks - with keys missing since 1942.

(Perfect)

I would second Nicholas's choice except that I prefer to have my keys missing pre-war.

Thank you. If you don't inherit one, there are places that sell cases of all kinds, including hat cases made by a long lost firm, called Finnigan of New Bond Street, the supply of whose quite wonderful goods seems to have declined in equal step with the decline in the Empire; which is rather different from the Colonial Office because C Northcote Parkinson tells us, in "Parkinson's Law", that, as the Empire declined, the number of officials employed in the Colonial and India Offices increased!
