The beautiful brass buckles and clips are a wonderful compliment to the rich brown tone leather plus all the compartments are fully lined in the same color. It has a detachable shoulder strap in case you just want to use the carry handle.

From looking at the bag, it gives the appearance that you have to unbuckle the straps to open the bag but under the strap is a brass clip latch that you just push to release. Speaking of compartments, this bag has a variety of them in different sizes, some even have a zippered closure.

With the two large compartments, they are perfect for a small laptop or tablet and a folder for papers. There are slots to hold my business cards and individual pen holders.

I like the two smaller pockets on the outside front, one is perfect to carry our tape measure and the calculator fits perfect in the other one.

There are two pockets on the back, one has a zipper and I carry my portable credit card processor in that pocket as it will be zipped up and out of the way until needed.

I like the many pockets that zip to keep personal items like money and credit cards.  Since I always carry my phone with me, I can slip it into the back unzipped pocket when heading out.  I am an interior decorator and the OAKLAND leather briefcase by LEABAGS is perfect to carry everything needed when I go to the client’s home.  I was given the opportunity to try this beautiful briefcase in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  This is a bag that will turn heads while carrying it, such a beautiful, high quality bag.
