Choosing the right briefcase isn't just about carrying your essentials – it's about making your mark, expressing your style, and enhancing your confidence. At the Republic of Florence, we understand the importance of finding the perfect match for your unique personality and needs. Explore our range of exquisite briefcases and discover the one that perfectly complements your professional persona.

For the Vintage Lovers

Starting with the classics, we have the Munich Briefcase. This bag offers a retro vibe with modern flair. The Munich features two spacious compartments to keep your 15” laptop and essentials separate. You can also utilise the front pockets for quick-access items, and sling the briefcase casually over your shoulder with the provided strings – perfect for an umbrella or newspaper.

The Sleek and Versatile Option

The Glasgow Briefcase is designed to lighten your burden as you go about your activities in a fast-paced world. You can use the removable shoulder strap for added functionality or you can simply use the soft handles. The Glasgow has enough room for your 13” laptop and other essentials. And if there's ever a reason why you need to put your briefcase on the floor, you need not worry about it picking up dirt—thanks to the protective metal feet at the bottom.

For the Minimalist Master

The Tokyo Briefcase embodies minimalist elegance, effortlessly simplifying your daily routine with its clean lines and understated refinement. Constructed from premium leather, it speaks volumes about your style and poise, while offering seamless organisation for your essentials. The Tokyo briefcase has a dedicated laptop compartment that can hold a 15-inch device as well as multiple internal pockets and a zippered compartment to safeguard your valuables.

Women juggle a lot. Deadlines, meetings, commutes, errands – the list goes on. Therefore, the need for a proper work bag cannot be trivialised. Investing in the right bag is essential for protecting your devices, keeping your belongings organised and enhancing your overall look. So don’t fall into the common trap of using a handbag to tote a laptop, as this can lead to stretched leather, damaged devices, and a host of other problems. Fortunately, there are many types of work bags to choose from, each with its own unique benefits and features. Let’s go through some popular options.
