Cork Briefcase

The Cork Briefcase is a work bag for men who carry a laptop most days and want a vegan alternative to a leather case. It is a sturdy cork briefcase made in Portugal, with a padded laptop pocket for a 16.2-inch laptop, a separate tablet pocket and proper places for pens and keys, so your work things stay organised. The outside is hard-wearing cork, the inside is cotton fabric, and the whole bag weighs 800 g (28.2 oz).

Wear it on the cotton shoulder strap for the commute, or slide it over the handle of your suitcase at the airport.

Why a cork bag for work

Cork is a natural, renewable material from the bark of the cork oak, harvested without cutting the tree down. On this briefcase it is the main outside material, and it does two jobs: it protects what you carry and keeps the bag light. The cork outer is water-resistant and hard-wearing, it feels smooth, and it ages well, picking up character over the years.

Who it suits

• Office workers and freelancers who carry a laptop between home, train and desk
• Frequent travellers who like a bag that rides on a suitcase handle
• Men moving away from leather who still want a smart, plain briefcase for the office

Care

Cork is easy to keep clean, and regular cleaning helps it last. To clean the outside, wipe it gently with a soft cloth, warm water and a little mild detergent.
