    Excellent service, excellent product, and excellent delivery time. One of the few shopping/purchasing experiences that was faultless. Thank you very, very much.

    Must say I love the briefcase. Small, elegant and perfect for my everyday needs.

    I've been looking for a little brown leather briefcase like this for a long time - the Maxwell Scott product was exactly what I was after.

    I was very pleased with the fact that you communicated a lot with me, especially about the short delay in delivery. The delay wasn't that important to me, but I was positively surprised that you really care. The briefcase is great!

    The packaging was amazing - and it has that new car smell!! Just love the two briefcase bags I bought - so practical and so well made... Maxwell Scott has got it covered if you need style, sophistication and need confidence to go into any business meeting. The pricing is definitely under to what you would normally pay - Thank you Maxwell Scott!

    All my dealings with Maxwell Scott have been excellent. My bag was out of stock so I had to wait a couple of months but it was well worth it. Thank you.

    Hassle free ordering, hassle free delivery. The bag is clearly high quality, and arrived nicely wrapped. It is a little smaller than I first thought - but that is me not checking the dimensions in detail.

    WONDERFUL product. I did a substantial amount of consumer research as I looked for a quality leather briefcase for my boyfriend that was under $500. I live in NY, and you'd be surprised at how difficult it is to find one even here. The Maxwell Scott case didn't disappoint. It looks professional and is of excellent quality -- even the hardware is top level and looks great. I had originally debated getting one of the bigger briefcases, but as it turns out there is more than enough room in this for my bf to fit everything he needs on most days. My dad saw what I got him, and now he wants one too. There wasn't even a close second to this bag on the market.

    I love this bag! Perfect size and very stylish. Customer service was very attentive. Thank you!

    This bag is perfect for people like me who need to carry papers and many small items. Most briefcases are much too large for me so I am glad this one was designed around my needs. I also appreciated the personal attention of the sales staff.
    5 Stylish Classic
    Great sized bag for daily commute to the office. MacBook Air fits perfectly with plenty of room for stationary. Only criticism is that the personalisation was a bit off-centre. Overall great product.
    5 Excellent quality and a stand out among the rest in any business setting
    Extremely happy with the quality and design of the Lorenzo. With the recent slimming down of laptops, I find the large briefcase and outdated necessity. The Lorenzo is stylish and perfect for business essentials. As I moved from my old bag to this one I found the items that didn't fit, I'd been carrying daily for no reason.
    5 Delighted with the bag
    Its incredibly difficult to find a quality brief case capable of holding a MacBook Air and iPad which is only 50mm wide. After much searching I came across this beauty. Its very well constructed, the leather is superb and very stylish. I really like to minimise what I carry and most cases encourage you to carry too much because they have the space. I am delighted with it and highly recommend it. If I have a niggle its that the pen holders are not big enough to fit a pen such as a Mont Blanc or Parker Duofold but it does hold an Apple Pencil perfectly.
    5 Amazing Customer Service!
    Thank you - amazing customer service (which is rare these days!)
    5 Great customer service
    - more than exceeded the reviews I read
    5 Great Leather, bit on the smaller side
    Great purchase beautiful leather smaller than anticipated, would be nice if it was slightly bigger to take something the size of a clipboard.
    5 Five Stars
    Excellent quality of materials and craftsmanship, a really nice bag.

    It was a late Xmas present - it's just a little too small otherwise it would have got 5 stars!

    After searching for a very long time to replace my worn everyday briefcase, I came across the Maxwell Scott product range and instantly fell in love. You may argue that the prices of MS products are significantly higher than comparative products; but so is the quality! The MS customer services team were extremely informative and pleasant when sending across my notification for personalising and processed my order quickly and efficiently; giving updates along the way. I received my bag within 2 days and was extremely happy with the product, the leather, stitching and embossing exceeded expectations and certainly warranted the price tag. I cannot recommend Maxwell Scott enough and thank them for my item, my future luggage/business/wallet requirements will, without a doubt be fulfilled by Maxwell Scott. Thank you so much.

    OUR SIGNATURE LEATHER
    Two decades have passed, and we are still committed to using our unique, unparalleled Vachetta leather that only one tannery possesses the precise formula to produce. Our prestigious leather is certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, a certificate of quality awarded to less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries. By showcasing their trademark and quality assurance, we honour the heritage of skilled artisans.
    Finest Full-Grain Vachetta Leather
    Often imitated but never matched, our high-quality full-grain Vachetta leather is unrivalled due to three essential components:
    1. HIDES - we source only European hides reared in perfect conditions, ensuring tough and durable leather with a quality finish.
    2. TANNING PROCESS - we use a natural centuries-old technique of vegetable-tanning which is both organic and sustainable.
    3. TANNERY - Our tannery is based in the heart of Tuscany, arguably the best region in the world. It has been awarded countless awards and delivers some of the 1.5% best leather in Italy. These factors combine to yield a premium, durable leather with exceptional visual appeal.
    A Unique Patina
    As time passes, a captivating patina will develop, subtly transforming its colour and aesthetic as it gracefully weathers the elements, a highly desirable characteristic of pure untreated leather, leaving a legacy of its journey. Unwanted marks and surface scratches can be effortlessly removed due to our slow process of drum-dying the leather all the way through, unlike faster methods of hand and surface dyeing. Our deep, earthy tanned leather is of unparalleled quality, allowing it to retain its natural strength, character, and properties without any alterations or corrections. In contrast, coated full-grain leather loses its appeal as it ages in as little as 12 months.
    Sustainably Tanned With Chestnut Trees
    We're committed to using a centuries-old technique that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The process of vegetable tanning requires considerable time and patience, as our hides immerse themselves in drums for 60 days. We’ve always believed that the reward of sustainable, premium leather is worth the wait. With only 10-12% of the world's leather being vegetable-tanned due to quicker and cheaper methods of tanning becoming more prevalent, we are proud to honour the traditions and legacy of authentic leather craft passing the exceptional benefits onto our customers.
    Guardians of a Rich Legacy
    We honour an authentic approach to tanning leather, using Chestnut extracts to embrace a sustainable and organic method of dyeing, preserving a traditional practice that dates back thousands of years. The deep colour and natural scent of our signature leather are a testament to this ancient technique, enabling wearers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.
    Crafted To Last a Lifetime
    The combination of these factors forms a dependable yet timeless work of art, which will accompany you for a lifetime. To demonstrate our confidence, we offer an industry-leading 25-year warranty.

    Why Is Our Leather Unique?
    At Maxwell Scott, we believe that the key to exuding luxury is to create quality. We achieve the finest quality through our impeccably-sourced leathers...
    best quality italian leather
    Our leathers are exclusively full-grain. A term used in the leather industry to define the strongest top layer of the hide, we craft with full grain leather to ensure that our bags and accessories offer the highest durability possible.
    handmade form the finest leather
    Our leathers are sourced from premium, handpicked tanneries in Western Europe, most predominantly from Tuscany, Italy - the epicentre of the leather industry. Maxwell Scott's founder, William, has spent years seeking out the finest leathers in the world from niche and exclusive tanneries to guarantee the highest quality.
    leather handmade in Italy
    We honour the traditional technique of vegetable-tanning to dye our leathers. The industry's most sustainable tanning method, natural tannin extracts are rubbed into the grain of the leather to produce a rich and authentic finish.
    luxury Italian leather hides
    We believe in creating leather heirlooms with character. We therefore do not coat our leathers with any synthetic substances. They are stripped bare and exposed to life's elements to develop a unique and desirable patina on the surface of the leather over time.
    quality leather bags
    Due to the first-class quality of our leathers, we offer a 25-year warranty on all our bags and accessories.
