There`s great recognition of a work bag with a polished (read professional) appearance in professional circles. If you want to go this route, a black leather briefcase in milled, plated or grain leather is a great option since black leather has inherent decency and its polished appearance provides a professional look. Yes, there are many charming brown leather options available that have a timeless feel, but black in a polished appearance is a good safe option for starting years of a professional journey.

Thanks to modern tanning techniques, we have leather available in a range of distressed and rugged appearances, which make for a brown leather briefcase carrying a vintage to rugged charm. Crazy horse leather, tan leather, two tone pull up leather briefcases are a good example.

Leather Backpack and Leather Laptop Bag

This is a more `with the times` option to go for if you`re not inclined to gift a serious looking briefcase. Trendier and younger in personality, these bags are sleeker yet have expertly crafted storage options inside and outside to allow for versatile storage.

What exactly sets these bags apart as a distinguished gift option on graduation for him?

• Leather backpacks can be used as multipurpose bags since they look equally cool in other environments apart from work as well.
• A leather laptop bag is the in thing of the modern work environment, since it`s similar to a briefcase or satchel yet has a highly lean silhouette that provides equally cool versatile storage options to store laptops, gadgets, papers and more. Not the type to use as a travel briefcase of course but definitely a good option for work life day in and day out.
• Both types of bags provide a professional yet trendier look to the young professional along with reliability of a work bag that should serve the practical purpose for years to come.

Leather Messenger Bag

Born in the 40s & 50s, a messenger bag crafted with leather is a great option to gift on graduation. Let`s find out why.
