I love my briefcase Joe made me, he is a talented craftsmen. I hope to use this bag through my career and maybe one day pass it on to my boy.

I’ve had my Wallace briefcase now for a few years and it is holding up exceptionally well. I must admit I baby my briefcase and it is ageing quite lovely. Joe made one for me in chestnut with black suede and the keylock, not the combination in the photo. I have misplaced my key a couple of times so now I’m thinking I should have gone with the combination lock . Oh well, next time.

This is a gorgeous satchel / briefcase. The suede lining is beautiful. I got the chocolate color. It is very dark. Brass hardware. It took about 5 weeks to get to me and can in a dustbag.

I purchased this bag for my husband at Christmas time and he just loves it. You can clearly see the high level of craftsmanship that JP puts into his creations. When we saw him and his wife on Billion Dollar Buyer we knew that he really cares about his work so it was a no brainer that I should get my husband this fine gift. He is an attorney that carried around one of those messenger bags you see people on bikes wearing, so I am glad he took to something more sophisticated.

I just got my chestnut blue suede lined Alfred Wallace brief case yesterday, and it is simply breathtaking.
The first thing that struck me was, this brief case is made to last a lifetime. It is not a cut above, it is what’s above. Even the blue suede I chose adds a bit of dazzle to a already finely stitched leather work. The construction is wonderfully detailed, balanced and proportioned.
The Alfred Wallace is one of a master leather craftman’s works of art.
