Style – Mulberry Men’s Single Briefcase
Words: Violet
From the messenger to the tote, and even (shock horror) the clutch, the evolution of men’s accessories – specifically the ‘man bag’ – has come a long way in the last decade. Sometimes however, you just can’t beat a good old-fashioned classic and so it is with this in mind that we suggest you turn your attention to the latest offering from Mulberry, the Single Briefcase.
Synonymous with traditional British style Mulberry is one of every gentleman’s go-to-brands for stylish yet practical elegance, and this briefcase is no exception. Staying true to the brand’s heritage the Autumn/Winter 13 collection sees a return to some of the fashion house’s signature pieces, with a focus on optimising classic styles. The Single Briefcase is a master class in timeless style with simple clean-cut lines, soft leather material and subtle detailing. The use of soft calf leather allows your briefcase to naturally age over time and use, giving each one its own unique characteristics. Functionality is key here, with a sturdy single top handle and secure push lock at the front, complete with the iconic heritage detailing we all know and love. As sleek on the inside as it is on the out, and as the name would suggest, it consists of just one main compartment complete with a separate slip area, and a further two internal slip pockets, thus allowing you room for both technological devices and regular documents alike; not to mention, of course, your latest copy of The Gentleman’s Journal; for essential lunch break reading.
In true Mulberry style, this briefcase comes in a range of colours to suit your style persuasion, from Black or Grey Classic Printed Calf Leather, to Navy Hand Rolled and Chocolate Soft Saddle Leather. The perfect union of fine materials and unparalleled construction, all from a quintessentially British brand, this briefcase will be a lasting addition to your working wardrobe, so what better way to take on the boardroom this autumn than with Mulberry’s new Single Briefcase?
