March 22, 2024 - Litigator Briefcase

Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail

I cannot express how well made this bag is in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The bag is just as classy when you get it as it looks, but has a ruggedness that allows you to take it from the board room or court room to the local library or coffee shop. The customer service is amazing, I was facing a deadline and they did everything they could to make it get to me as fast as possible. I am a customer for life, big difference between this bag and those that are mass manufactured. I was actually able to speak to the Owner!!!!! This company is amazing.

Excellent Product

I purchased this briefcase five years ago after graduating law school. After traveling all over, carrying significant documents and electronics, the briefcase still looks great and works perfectly. Never a single problem. Obviously, this briefcase isn’t cheap, and if you are a person that likes to get something new every year the briefcase will look amazing but it won’t be anywhere close to needing replacement. This briefcase is probably best for people that want a great product, understand that quality is a rare thing in the world today, so they are willing to pay a touch more for something that will last a career.

Excellent backpack; even better customer service

I made my purchase on February 2024. I received the backpack promptly after the stated wait time. The quality, craftsmanship, and design were stellar. Upon further review of the inside zipper pocket, there was a small section (~2cm) which was missing stitching. I contacted the customer service team next day and sent them pictures of the gap. Without hesitation, the team requested I return the backpack for them to inspect and correct the missing stitching. Their turnaround was exactly one week, as they stated. After receiving the backpack for a second time, it was in perfect condition. The team made a great product and more importantly, backed their lifetime warranty immediately. Will buy again from them again.

SCHOLAR 3 COMPARTMENT LAPTOP W/POCKETS

Wow, what a briefcase! This bag is absolutely amazing. I couldn't really ask for anything better, thick beautiful leather that will last and lifetime and then some. I love that it's still very rugged yet without all the extra handwear and straps that other premium leather begs have that make them look a little too rugged for an office setting and little more suited for searching caves for ancient artifacts with a whip and a fedora. I couldn't recommend Custom Hide any more, fantastic company
