I was in the market for a briefcase of some sort because I am a new graduate and I was looking for something to carry with me to job interviews and so forth. I never owned a briefcase but that traditional rectangular hard cased “classic” brief case style was not for me.
I was firstly attracted by the style and sleekness of this briefcase but I saw several reviewers complaining about the buckles and how they are difficult to open, one person even returned his. This had me shocked because I wondered how hard could a leather buckle be to open.
Nonetheless I purchased the product and with the speedy shipping it arrived in 2 days. The packaging is amazing and elegant. Now I am at the point to tackle the buckle issue to open the case…… I tug, twist, turn the buckles but i could not get it push through the loop. THEN I REALIZED there are clips underneath each buckle!!!!!!
The buckles you are seeing in the photos are really just for style! Cosmetic! with ease you can press down the clips underneath each buckle and the flap opens! It is by no means difficult at all. Those of you who were discouraged by reviewers making this seem impossible please do not listen to them
That being said it truly is a very nice briefcase for the price and it definitely looks great with a business suit walkin into interviews as a new grad. It can also fit my 13″ Macbook Pro comfortably in one compartment but it does not look like a big bag after all.
I love this product and if you are on the fence, especially about how hard/easy it is to open, trust me.. it really isn’t that big a deal. I think people complain about the simplest things.

I bought this bag for my boyfriend who often carries work home and walks to and from work. The bag shipped extremely quickly, of course. I am very pleased at the excellent quality and was pleasantly surprised that there was also a protective bag included (like Coach gives for purses). The bag looks sleek and is also functional and my boyfriend says he loves it and has already gotten a lot of compliments on it. He said he doesn’t have any complaints!

Stop over reacting on buckles,
