    Thank you so much for getting it to me on time. I also ordered the pen holder which arrived this morning. Both the Barolo folder and the pen holder are fantastic quality; I am absolutely delighted with them. Your customer service has been excellent throughout and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Maxwell Scott to friends and colleagues.

    A first rate shopping experience and a superb product. This was not my first purchase...and it won't be my last. Well done to all concerned!
    5 Repeat Buyer!
    This was my third Maxwell Scott bag ordered in classic tan. The bag is gorgeous and as always the shipping is ridiculously fast. I ordered with the gift box however it cam without it. The customer service is wonderful as they refunded the charge for the box immediately once I notified them. The classic tan and chestnut tan are darker than they appear on the website but still very beautiful bags. Again I wish all their bags came with a dust bag or offered as an additional purchase. My second bag was the messenger which is now discontinued and this one came with a dust bag. The messenger also was a very nice bag. Thanks again MSB.
    5 Outstanding, high-quality briefcase in Cary Grant style
    Thank you for crafting such a beautiful case! Package was received just a few days after ordering. Leather is supple, strong and finely stitched. Perfect for carrying my Macbook and iPad Pro. Love the thin profile and chestnut tan color.
    5 Stunning bag!
    This is the first time I shopped a bag online, and MSB bag proves my decision not shopping in the local shopping stores smart. This Barolo portfolio is definitely stunningly designed and beautifully crafted. The leather it used shines under the light, and it is just superb. Definitely recommended.
    5 A Work of Art
    I just received my Maxwell Scott bag today and could not be happier with it. It's truly a functional work of art. The leather exterior is butter soft, the interior equally refined. The styling is timeless and understated. It's so exceptional I feel a little nervous taking it out in the world, and I'm tempted to simply place it on a shelf to admire. But I promise to take it to work with me tomorrow and to have it by my side for a good long time. Thank you for this great bag and for your excellent customer service!
    5 Work bag
    Very good product - Excellent service
    5 Excellent workmanship and quality
    Excellent. Very good quality and finish of the product. You can sense in the photos the good quality and certainly once received it contrasts and even improves the perceived quality.

    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 honor 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 honor the traditions and legacy of authentic leather craft passing the exceptional benefits onto our customers.
    Guardians of a Rich Legacy
    We honor 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 color 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.

    The Barolo

    Leather Document Case

    This smart, useful corporate accessory is ideal for the busy executive. Slim-line yet substantial with three interior compartments, the Barolo acts as a portfolio, carry case or briefcase. Depending on how much you need to carry, this versatile piece will see you from the boardroom to the plane. Carry this leather conference folder under your arm, or pull out the hidden handles to use it as a briefcase. Should you wish to wear the bag over your shoulder or across the body like a satchel, just attach the shoulder strap that comes with the bag. Our meticulous attention to detail is evident in the design, stitching, lining and fittings. The full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather we use for all of our products gives the folder strength and durability. It will weather beautifully, improving over time and gaining its own individual character. This leather folio also makes a great gift and can be personalized with our hot foil embossing.

    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.
