Chiarugi Firenze. I picked it up direct from Florence but I think they are available in the US via online. One of the best things about this case is the smell.

Deadstock/vintage Edwards briefcase. Does anyone have any information about this company?

IIRC, edwards are made by the same people that made Atlas brand in Philadelphia. Yours look 80s/early 90s ish.

Thank you for the info. Any idea about their history? They seem to be out of business...

Sweet. It's really nice... great stitching and very nice leather and suede inside. An Edwards bag went for $285 on eBay recently...

I really like this briefcase, except that the photo makes the bag look lopsided to me. I'm hoping this is just due to the angle that the photo was taken from.

Try as I might, I just can't wrap my arms around burgundy leather. It just ain't for me.

Okay, noob here - what does G&G stand for? Tried searching by "G&G briefcase" and got nothing. Thanks - that one on the upper left is great.

I am thinking of selling my Glaser 6" deal bag in espresso. It's an amazing bag but just want something a little smaller.
