Mitchell Leather Briefcases
The Classic Briefcase - Over 30 Years of Continuous Refinement Has Resulted in Our Masterpiece.
Is this the last briefcase you will ever buy? We think so. Just ask any of our customers, many of whom have been carrying a Mitchell case for over 20 years. Each and every briefcase is made one-at-a-time, by hand, in our factory located in the Historic Third Ward District of Downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We use only the finest quality materials such as carefully selected leather hides and solid brass hardware. Our hides are chosen for their distinctive character, feel, color, and grain, making every one of our creations unique and timeless. Aside from our concern for the aesthetic quality of our products, we recognize that a briefcase must be a workhorse that can survive years of physical punishment. Never before has a product in this category been so carefully engineered to prevent damage by wear and tear at all of the most critical stress points. Our briefcase benefits from patented design elements that were specifically created to address the most critical problems of structural integrity and strength. Our current versions are the result of decades of continuous refinement and improvements.
Our Classic briefcase has the following features:
- Mitchell patented Modular Handle - U.S. Patent #5127500
- Mitchell patented Strap Holder with resistance pouch - U.S. Patent #5931270
- Our special outside back pocket that will not sag
- Adjustable leather shoulder strap with all-leather comfort shoulder pad
- Triple gusset construction with three large main compartments
- Each of three main compartments can hold most laptop computers up to 11" x 16.5"
- Multiple smaller pockets for cell phones, wallets, etc...
- Large inside zipper pocket
- Snap-on leather key holder
- Pen holders
- Leather-lined solid brass feet

The Messenger Briefcase - A Modern Twist On Our Classic
The Mitchell Messenger is one of the most attractive and streamlined designs we have ever made. It is based on our Classic Briefcase with a similar triple-gusset main compartment and a full size outside back pocket. Like the Classic, there is ample room for a laptop computer and all of your documents, books, folders and other belongings. There are multiple pen holders, a key holder and pockets for cell phones, wallets and other small items as well as a large inside zipper pocket. The Messenger is a pleasure to carry because of our unique shoulder strap and large all-leather comfort pad. This bag is built to last a lifetime and features a version of our patented resistance strap holder which has proven to be virtually indestructible in decades of use on our Classic Briefcase. We have gone a step further than any other messenger-type bag by incorporating a steel support plate in a critical location to prevent the bending and sagging that normally occurs with other designs. The aesthetic is modern-classic all the way with a combination of ruggedness and elegance that is rare at any price.
Prices: $980 -$1490 (depending on leather and options) Call or email to inquire.

There are two main compartments (approximately 12.5" x 9") with multiple inner pockets, a key holder, pen holder and an outside back pocket. We also include the same heavy duty double layer adjustable strap with your choice of a small or large shoulder pad. Shown here in a black Italian Steel pebble grain leather, the Compact Classic is available in a variety of other leathers.
New: We can build in a special custom fitted pocket for your iPad!
