The shift away from leather as a fashion material is continuing to pick up momentum, which is evident with new styles like the hardgraft Long Haul Briefcase that make use of plant-based alternatives.
The briefcase is constructed with vegan leather, which has been embossed with a cross hatch pattern that mimics the appearance of Saffiano leather. This gives it a decidedly luxurious look and feel, while still being crafted out of biomass material.
The hardgraft Long Haul Briefcase will fit laptops up to 16-inches in size and offers additional space for everyday or travel essentials. This makes it great as an office bag or a travel accessory, while the durable construction ensures it will last for years just like leather alternatives on the market.
