Our Signature Full-Grain Leather


Handcrafted using our signature full-grain premium leather, vegetable-tanned by skilled artisans in the heart of Italy. Our luxury leather offers a refined and elevated look. It remains highly durable. Over time this signature top quality leather develops a unique characterful patina. We use only the finest Italian leather. It is certified and awarded the Italian Vegetable-tanned Leather Consortium Quality Trademark & Guarantee. This quality trademark is awarded to less than 1.5% of tanneries in Italy. Consequently, the superior quality and robust nature of our luxury leather is designed to withstand the entirety of a successful career.

Exclusively Selected Lining


We’ve taken great care to select the finest, most suitable lining for this high quality leather briefcase. The raw leather-lined main compartments are durable and strong. They help maintain a polished and sophisticated look for years. It’s also a sustainable lining, our craftsmen use the dermis part of our vegetable-tanned cow leather to reduce waste. The large exterior zipped pocket is lined with organic 100% cotton, exclusively made in Italy. Stronger than silk and synthetic fabrics, it’s versatile and durable without feeling heavy or rigid. The perfect combination of luxury and reliability.

We’ve designed this business essential with two main zipped compartments, ensuring your belongings remain safe when on the move. Complete with YKK Excella® metal zips known for their durability and considered some of the best available. YKK Excella® zips feature a self-lubricating mechanism that makes them smoother with use over time.

Straps Made to Last, Carry with
Ease & Confidence


We handcraft our handles using our special manufacturing process that has never failed. Our signature leather is folded around the first strong layer and then double-stitched to create a sturdy hand-stitched comfort grip handle you can trust. Meanwhile, the anti-slip suede cushioned shoulder strap is adjustable and designed with comfort in mind. You can tailor the way you wear The Alanzo either using the comfort grip carry handle or the anti-slip adjustable shoulder strap.
