Purchased this bag in dark chocolate and LOVE it. High quality leather, construction is bullet proof, bag is reinforced in all the right places, high quality hardware. Truly a handsome and very functional briefcase. Will be in my collection for many years to come.

This is an awesome briefcase. I have had many over the years, and considered a Mont Blanc recently, but I am so glad I didn't. The quality, the finish, the feel, the leather is just so good. I carry a laptop, business papers, chargers, business cards, PDA, etc etc and it just fits the bill in all aspects. I would not hesitate to recommend it to any of my associates and colleagues. It's really well put together and is of very high quality and is great value for money over the Mont Blanc.

Decided on this briefcase by chance as the original order was for another case but was out of stock. I took advice from William and decided that the Tomacelli 3 in night black would be best suited for me. It arrived in a few days packaged well and yes... I can say this is a top-quality briefcase, with loads of space; smells great and looks fantastic... Excellent customer service and delivery. It's true what the majority of reviews and customers feedback say about the shopping experience at MS.

Astonishing service and quality. I ordered this bag on Monday morning and it arrived in Auckland from the UK on Thursday morning (both NZ time). Local internet retailers struggle to deliver that quickly. The bag itself is alI I hoped for and more. It's beautifully made and very robust. I'll be back to buy a conference folder!

I received the bag a week ago and absolutely love it. I have carried various briefcases for the past 17 years and none compare to the quality of the Tomacelli. I know it will be used for years to come.

A couple points not addressed elsewhere for which I had concerns before I received it: Size: This was the first nice bag I've come across that comfortably fit my over-sized Alienware laptop (16" x 1.75" x 12") AND STILL had plenty of room leftover for books and other things. At the same time, though, it didn't look very big when I pulled it out of the box due to its almost accordion-like structure. The Leather: The black bag was a very nice, shiny black leather on the outside. Some other bags I had come across from some high-end designers had a very rough, dull, black exterior that would make you think they pulled it from a dumpster. So it was nice that Maxwell Scott's leather WAS nice AND LOOKED nice too. In sum, it's a great bag!

Remarkable briefcase, inside and out. Ideal for an executive or business professional who wants to present a quality image and stand apart from others carrying the standard issue $40 nylon laptop case or backpack. Very roomy without being too heavy, unlike the Saddleback Leather case I purchased which, while of great quality too, just is too heavy and rustic when visiting clients. From online order to delivery, a total of 3 days, so must say also Maxwell Scott gets superlative customer service.
5 Brilliant all round - from order to receipt.
I had been looking for a new briefcase for a while and couldn't find what I wanted in a number of well known stores. I came across MS by chance and their cases looked great and I thought were very good value provided they were really as good as they looked. I ordered the biggest case they had because I carry a lot if stuff every day. They were extremely helpful on the phone and the delivery service was really good. The case is fabulous - will start using it next week. Beautiful leather, dark brown and the smell is better than Mont Blanc Legend ! If you need a new briefcase MS is the place to get it.
5 Beautiful bag with some very minor flaws
I bought this bag for my husband as he was in need of a good leather bag that would accommodate his 17 inch laptop. Much as he expected it not to fit, it was a perfect fit. However, there is zero padding on the bottom of the bag and he was very concerned about setting his bag down and worrying about destroying his laptop. We fixed that with some packing material in the bottom - but it's not ideal. Another issue is the front buckle - this looks beautiful and it was something I liked about the bag... but it would be nice if you didn't have to belt it each time to open and close. Maybe a slide enclosure with a magnetic attachment that only looks like a belted opening? When you are traveling and need to access pockets quick - this becomes an issue. The last wish would be for an adjustable strap that can be made longer than the current one. As it stands now, this can only be worn over one shoulder and not across the body. Overall though, the bag and the leather are stunning and I would still buy it in a heartbeat.
5 Excellent service and excellent product!
I had been looking for a new briefcase for a while and chanced across Maxwell Scott on a Google search. After using their easy to navigate and great looking website, I chose the 3 section briefcase in chestnut tan over the 2, as I figured for the difference in price, the additional capacity would be better all round. I placed my order and just prayed that it would be as good in the flesh as it looked on screen. The briefcase arrived next day well packaged, in its own drawstring bag and the beautiful smell of the leather when I opened it, was amazing. I was not disappointed! The product was far better than I expected, the briefcase is stylish, of high quality and the attention to detail with features like the little brass feet on the bottom seams to prevent it tearing when placed on the ground (something which has happened to my last 2 briefcases), the embossed logo and plenty of space for all those things I've usually had to split over a case and laptop bag in the past, make you realise the effort that has gone in to its design. The product looks great and I've already had several positive comments at work about it and was also asked on the train where I got it from. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Maxwell Scott again for other products, as I very much doubt I'll need another briefcase. Their communications from order placed, dispatch etc was excellent. Overall money well spent for a great looking, quality item.
5 Outstanding
Ordered my briefcase (dark brown) on Monday and it arrived Thursday. It was expertly packed. The bag is gorgeous. The leather is supple and has character. The color is a rich. The smell of the leather is fantastic. It is spacious--easily accommodates my MacAir 11 inch, several books, and files. This bag will impress.
5 Excellent quality
I am an airport consultant, usually taking my little office with me wherever I travel (about 60%). Based on a little research, I decided to go for Tomacelli 3 due to its expanded space and decent reviews and I was very positively surprised when it arrived. It's quality is superb, it looks absolutely fantastic and it accommodates all the important stuff required for my job. Definitely recommend!
5 Superb quality bag, and superb service.
Have owned this bag for the last 6 months. The quality is spectacular. The three section version is extremely practical and would likely be able to hold any reasonable amount of paperwork for an office worker (plus laptop). The quality of the leather is superb. This is a bag that gets noticed. Also, the delivery, packaging and service from Maxwell Scott was excellent. The only things to be aware of: The bag is reasonably heavy, even empty. If the bag was fully loaded every day, the handle and fastenings may end up failing. It is not clear from the website what the loaded weight capacity of the bag is. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this bag. It is a pleasure every single time I use it.
5 functional, roomy, elegant, and high quality
From the moment I opened the exquisitely packed/wrapped box, going through the pleasant leather smell, to the moment you start putting your laptop, documents, keys, cell phone, pens, stethoscope, etc in the briefcase; the bag delivered a sense of "this is the one, I can definitely enjoy the briefcase that I use to go to work every day without any compromise". Needless to say I have already received compliments from my wife and other co-workers for their professional looks and craftsmanship. -Profession: physician (also do home visits, so in the field all the time) -contents: 13" laptop, a binder with educational pamphlets, 4 folders with papers, stethoscope, business card holder, 3 sets of keys, wallet, 2 cell phones, MiFi, laptop charger, and 2 extra surgical masks (just in case I need more for COVID-19 prevention), badge, and 2 small speciality reference books. -considered: Montblanc sartorial briefcase, Carl Friederick Pallisy double, and Tumi (cannot recall the name). The fact that my new briefcase makes me feel like a million dollars while I enjoy my job...priceless, easy to recommend.
5 Quality shines through
Such a great product, obvious quality and very utilitarian at the same time.

I found your goods at a show in London and was very impressed with the quality. I bought myself a bag and then later went onto the web to buy my husband a briefcase. It arrived so promptly and is beautiful. Thank you.

The website was excellent. In fact the video of the product I bought was the clincher particularly for a product of its type. Pre Christmas was obviously a difficult period but I was delighted that my purchase arrived on Christmas Eve. Many thanks.

I just wanted to send a quick email to say a big thank you for all your efforts to get my Christmas gift out to me. I have to say that it arrived on Christmas Eve and I was so pleased with the service I had received. I appreciated your email updates to let me know what was happening and feel that the item I bought has a story about its journey before it even arrived. Please thank all of your team on our behalf on a job well done.

The briefcase looks wonderful but as it is for a present we have not completely unwrapped it yet. I am sure our son is going to be delighted with the quality. I would also like to thank you personally for the first class customer service you gave us and also the professional way you handled a situation which was out of your control. It has been a pleasure dealing with such a professional company.

Many Thanks. Our order arrived as advised and my partner John is absolutely delighted with it. Kind regards.
5 Wow. the size is perfect
I received this bag as a gift for graduation and being admitted to the practice of law, and all I can say is that pictures do not do it justice. Every detail was well considered and perfectly executed. The size is perfect for legal briefs (not too big and not too small) and the compartments are capable of holding anything else I could ever imagine needing. Beautiful piece.

The Tomacelli briefcase, belt, toiletry bag and travel wallet for my husband arrived last Thursday. I was so happy with the immaculate products and my husband who is rather a perfectionist was also thrilled with them. I appreciate how well they were being wrapped and also the way you kept us posted about the status of the shipment - it also became a topic of light conversation in my social circle about the poor Italian craft men who fell ill and contributed to a bit of the delay! I have an eye for a beautiful luggage on your website and hope to add that to my husband's leather collection sometime.Thanks again.

Just to let you know I have received the Tomacelli briefcase. It is beautiful and has a wonderful finish. I am always a bit sceptic about online purchases, yet I will definitely be buying more products from you in the near future.

Beautifully made leather briefcase bought to be a cherished doctors bag (more versatile than my traditional one). Plenty of space for everything and could fit a laptop in if required as well as everyday equipment. I have high hopes that this will last the rest of my career. Thank you.
5 Ästhetik pur.
Die Aktentasche, die ich bestellt habe übertrifft meine Erwartungen! Die Qualität und Verarbeitung sind erstklassig, Ästhetik pur. Nach der Bestellung dauerte es nur drei Tage, bis die Tasche bei mir eintraf. Dieser Verkäufer ist vorbehaltlos zu empfehlen!
5 absolutely satisfied!
Perfect experience from shopping to ordering to shipping/delivery and most importantly to the product quality, absolutely satisfied!
5 no summary
Quality products at sensible prices. As an old customer, I am still able to buy the same type of luggage and add to my set without any noticeable differences and age only helps them look even better.
5 Gorgeous Leather Crafting!
This leather briefcase is absolutely beautiful. I carry a lot of papers and files from the office. This bag has plenty of room to handle my needs. I would consider this bag large. There is one model larger, called the Tomacelli-3. Unless you need an extra-large amount of space, the Tomacelli-2 bag (the one I bought) should suit your needs. It is impeccably crafted and styled. I recommend it!
5 Practicality.
Excellent craftsmanship. Very convenient for office use. Fit perfectly for all I need in a day's work.
5 Great Briefcase
Overall, I've been very pleased with the bag. It's extremely well made and of the highest quality materials. I'm constantly getting compliments on it and find it goes well with pretty much anything I wear.
5 Very pleased indeed!
Excellent quality. Excellent service. Delighted with this bag that is for everyday work use. Plenty of room for everything that I cart around and much more stylish and professional than any laptop bag.
5 Five Stars
Great craftsmanship and more importantly, met expectations.
5 High quality briefcase
Great quality briefcase, very finely handcrafted to the smallest details. Would highly recommend to family and friends.
5 quality at a price
this is a very very high-quality briefcase. the leather is exquisite... I own several, from saddleback and Jack George, on the high end to hammer and anvil and KomalC on the other end and Texbo in the middle; vagabond / polar on the high end and awaiting Cenzo to compare... So I have a few to compare... The leather is high quality and very well tanned and finished... There is high attention to detail and the bottom of the bag has nice protective feet cinched in brass to the leather... It is a very attractive briefcase... The drawbacks for daily use are NO padding for a laptop. every other bag that I HAVE purchased in this class has that protective padding for a laptop... It could be 1 inch wider for day to day files and instead of a belt clasp, a quick-release clasp.. this is a high-end high-quality briefcase that comes with a high-end price.

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.
