Briggs & Riley Briefcases - Laptop Bag for Work & Travel, Briefcases for Men & Women - @work Collection

This is a great bag for overnight trips if you're a light packer, and fits under the seat. If you're familiar with the Embraer E190, this bag fits nicely in one overhead bin along with two other regular carry-on sized bags. There is a separate zippered compartment for clothing, that opens up flat like a suitcase; a work compartment with padded laptop slot; an external compartment I use for things I need easy access to; and an extra zippered pocket for pens and other small items. There's also a little compartment to keep your credit cards safe from digital hackers. I'm a minimalist flight attendant whose size is ladies M. I bought this particular bag because I'm usually home the same day I work. I can put my 13" laptop, work iPad, cords, two sets of thinner clothing, flip-flops, toiletries/makeup, extra undergarments and socks. I recently purchased a charger with two USB slots and two USB-C slots, so that greatly reduced the number of chargers. The bag rolls lightly and quietly over flat, smooth surface. It probably helps to pack heavier items closer to the wheels. Telescopic handle is also smooth. Everything is well-made and sturdy. If you need to stack this on top of another piece of luggage, there's a delightful handle on the back that enables you to do it easily. Stack, pull the handle through the handle of the bottom bag, and rotate to secure the bag in place. The only thing that annoys me is the velcro tabs that hold the bag upright while the compartments are still open, if you want the bag stay upright. For this function I'd prefer snaps or even a zipper, since velcro easily ruins clothing. Be careful if you pack tights. I'm currently eyeing the larger version of this bag, as I think it might suit my needs better when I need to pack thicker clothing. Also, if you're of higher maintenance and require more hair products and styling tools, this Medium-sized bag is not for you. It is a great bag, regardless. Well-made, and fully warranted regardless of how it was acquired.

I’ve used a backpack for years and I’ve always struggled because I have to dig so much to find the things I need. This bag is more usable, more compact (fits easily under airplane seats) and looks gorgeous and professional. I can also squeeze a big Nalgene into the briefcase easily. The cell phone pocket is perfect for traveling, fits both of my phones in an easily accessed zip pocket. The zip expander turns it into a weekend bag without having to take anything else out. I also love that it doesn’t look like everyone else’s Tumi; the zippers are very high quality and the stitching is bulletproof. I’ve just finished my first multi-country trip with this bag and couldn’t be happier. It’s an excellent everyday briefcase and travel bag, and I’m very pleased with my purchase. This feels like a lot of money to spend sight-unseen, but this case is absolutely worth every penny. Excellent.

Got this as a gift for my mostly wonderful long long term girlfriend after her other small carry on I got her from eBags years ago suffered handle issues. She fly's back and forth (MCO-MSY) to see grand kids often. She loves this bag. She's able to get everything in it (snacks, laptop, iPad, chargers, sweatshirt, simple change of clothes, etc.) she needs for the short trip. It traverses various flooring well and easy to walk with from house to SunRail train station, train to express bus, bus exiting in airport. Also it fits everywhere so far - under seat, in the overhead, easy to handle getting in/out of Uber/Lyft's. Looking forward to trying additional B&R pieces.

I bought a two wheeled Travel Pro underseater to use in work trips, and I used it once but the lack of 4 spinner wheels made it clutzy to navigate the hotel, airport, and office. Also the laptop sleeve is on the front panel that you unzip to access the interior. Meaning it is front heavy and will flop open every time you open it. This case has a laptop sleeve in the middle and endless thoughtfully designed storage options in the front half of the case. And I love that the back section is concealed off so that you can put personal items in there that won’t all be on display when you have to open the case in front of other people. The spinner wheels are awesome and it is a joy to take this case through a trip. The interlocking stacking feature works on my non Briggs and Riley full size suitcase. I actually got one of these at a discount from Amazon as “open box”. It was brand spanking new. I just have not been so happy with a purchase in a long time!

I'll start by saying I love Briggs and Reilly and have several pieces. The quality is outstanding and the warranty is 100%. This bag holds everything and is particularly great for me because my work laptop is weighty along with the charger and all the other things I carry when I travel. The two issues I have is that there is no balance when opening the main compartment if you have anything in the front compartment and even opening the laptop section it will pull the whole bag over if you need to hold it upright. Additionally, it doesn't fit under most domestic first-class seats. The bars and power blocks in first class prevent storing on the floor and in some smaller regionals it almost doesn't fit in the overhead. I once had to store it in the flight attendant's closet. Again, I love B&R just this bag is difficult to travel with.

What can I say, I'm a briefcase snob. Kinda like Goldilocks and the 3 bears - this one is too hot, this one is too cold, this one is too big, this one is too small...well, you get the picture. I love high tech and a good aesthetic. I travel a lot and my briefcase needs to hold my stuff, and have good wear. I normally carry: *16 inch laptop *Remarkable pad *iPad *2 phones *Earpods *Notebook *Assorted papers *Small tech case with cables and backup battery *Pens, post its, etc... I also want some structure, and if the bag is 'floppy,' it's game over. Simply put - I absolutely love this Briggs and Riley bag. It's a great size, and it can expand. It looks great, is clearly super quality, and is a pleasure to carry. The only downside, if you can really call it that? The interior is beige. I'd have loved the orange that they've used in the past. A pretty small nit for an amazing bag. Buy it.

This is a very good bag. Quality. My 17" laptop, which measures 16.25" side-to-side, easily fits in the laptop compartment, and a tablet or smaller laptop could fit in the other compartment (both compartments located in the back zipper). Lots of compartments. Zippers are solid. Look is great, and the snap-back luggage tag is sorta nifty, as long as it holds up (which should be a long time since it really would not be used since this is a carry-on). The interlocking system also works well, and I tried attaching the B&R bag on top of our main luggage (not B&R), and it worked fine. Here is what I do not like. The Velcro in the back zipper compartment that controls how much the bag's back zipper compartment can be opened, including all the way to being completely flat. Hey B&R, not a good design! There is a better way to do this. Adjustable straps come to mind. If you insist on the Velcro, then create a way to keep the 4 pieces of Velcro, when they are not fastened, away from zipper movement. Should you choose NOT to fasten the Velcro (as in you would be laying the bag flat each time you open it), they currently interfere with both the inside zipper, and the back compartment zipper. And if you are going to refasten the Velcro, there needs to be a way easier process. Also, although I have experienced way worse, the handle when it is extended and moving on all 4 wheels in front of you, such as down the aisle of an airplane, could feel stronger. My bag will be heavy, and the handle, while much better than some other less expensive bags, does not feel as solid as some luggage that I own. It feels like it could give way at some point in future years (guess that is where the lifetime guarantee comes in). Also, I noticed when on 2 wheels, as in dragging the bag behind you, the bag did not want to reverse directions at all. It went one way, and only one way. So if you are moving through an airport rolling the bag on 2 wheels behind you, and you need to back up, it will be difficult. Overall, the bag is a good bag. I am picky, but when paying this much for a bag, it better be perfect.

This is a great travel case with plenty of pockets. It’s typical Briggs and Riley, gorgeous. I have multiple pieces from this company and you cannot go wrong.
