What You Can Customize In A Leather Briefcase

Leather Type & Appearance

Cow leather is the most preferred material for making leather bags for its obvious durability trait. However, buffalo leather is another highly tough yet attractive looking leather with its opulent grain detail and hard feel to the hand to customize a briefcase design. Similarly, modern tanning techniques and dyes, wax application allow manufacturers to have leather in a variety of different finishes from grainy, rugged, distressed to very clean, uniform and glossy, allowing creative professional souls the luxury to choose one for their custom made leather briefcase.

Name or Brand Personalization

Embossing, Debossing metallic dies allow for particulars of your name or brand to be sketched on a leather bag at the location you provide. In most cases, it’s the top center, middle or bottom right or left where such personalization looks good. You can have tags with such engravings stitched to a particular location on your bag as well or simply get your name or company brand stitched directly on the surface of the bag. Brand logos are normally embossed, debossed or engraved on a personalized leather briefcase and not stitched.

Storage Options

You can add, subtract or edit storage options to suit your specific needs and comfort thanks to a good leather customization service while staying within the confines of a specific design. Add pockets at the front for instant access, on the sides to carry a water bottle or other liquids, buttoned loops inside to hang keys, hands free wires, open loops for pen/pencils, an open compartment at the back to access newspaper or documents instantly etc. Similarly, you can minus any such storage option to get more basic or change its placement to another area in the bag just to suit your work ethic in your personalized briefcase.

Hardware & Accessorie

Brown leather normally goes nicely with brass hardware and black looks nice with silver often but that’s not always the case, so you can bring a desired contrast to your custom briefcase using accessories in design and color of your choice. For instance, you can use shoulder strap dog locks & D strings on the bag they are hooked to of a specific design you find unique etc. Zippers, rivets, push locks, press button etc. are all materials that can be considered while you customize a briefcase suited to your taste and personality appeal.

Carry Options

You normally carry briefcase in your hand or on your shoulder. If you`re creative enough, you can imagine a specific design without a carry handle or having it placed at another place on the bag, similarly you can have shoulder strap permanently fixed to the briefcase or have a fixed option turned into a removable one with dog locks attached to it. While most briefcases have both options available, you can dispense with any one of them in a custom briefcase.

Closure

Most briefcases have a zipper closure to main compartment, but with imagination, there are infinite ways you can customize your briefcase closure with push locks, press buttons etc. to suit your comfort. For instance, You might have a single flap closure to your briefcase without any further zipper security to the main compartment. Similarly, you can change the way how other storage options are secured in a personalized leather briefcase.

Consider These Things While Customizing A Leather Briefcase

  • You might want to use a certain kind of leather to customize a certain briefcase design, but before you move on with it, discuss if that leather type and finish will be able to hold on to that design silhouette or not. Sheep skin and goat skin leather aren’t ideal ones for making leather bags as sheep skin leather has lesser tear value while goat skin can be too rigid for the purpose of making a bag at times. To further elaborate on this point, appearance of a certain type of leather might suit your taste but might not be an ideal finish of leather to endure with a hard wearing or elaborate design having many loops, pockets or other bag particulars attached to it.
  • Ask for a blue print of customizations you have idealized with the customization supplier before the briefcase is put into final ordering so that you have greater clarity on how your particular requested customizations are going to look in the overall design ensemble.
  • Have a fair idea of the cost of each customization or total set of customizations from your customization supplier as without discussing them prior you might be in for a surprise afterwards as customized bags have separate costs for customization that are going into their manufacturing.
  • If you`re looking for leather for your briefcase to be customized in, make sure your manufacturer has expertise in handling leather skins plus a fair idea as to how it is stitched, and different parts brought together to manufacture a leather bag. Try and get in touch with a supplier who deals exclusively in leather.
