@Work Just Got Demoted!
Ugh! I do NOT like the new design of the @Work collection at all! In addition, I don't think it's fair for Briggs & Riley to be using reviews which were written for the PREVIOUS design of this line to represent the new products. ALL product reviews for ANY @Work bag should have been deleted as they REALLY aren't indicative of the new product which was just released this week.
I'm a current owner of the @Work Slim brief and I really enjoy the bag and the design. Briggs & Riley said in their promotional email that the @Work collection got a promotion? Hardly! More like a pink slip or perhaps a demotion! The front of the bags look haphazard in design or almost like an afterthought or unfinished compared to the previous version. Definitely not a fan, and without a doubt will NOT be replacing my current bag with this new version if I need to. In addition, it seems like they don't even offer the slim version anymore! Not everyone needs to carry everything but the kitchen sink with them.
Finally, STOP with the backpack trend/craze! If you're an adult and are going hiking/camping and need a backpack, so be it. Otherwise, grab a business bag that looks professional. Oh, wait... I guess that's not an option anymore since Briggs & Riley botched the look of the @Work collection.
Sad, really sad!

Best briefcase ever
I have a half dozen brief cases and this case is better designed, more usable compartments and most importantly high quality zippers! Excellent bag

Durable, Stylish, and Functional
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Briggs & Riley Medium Expandable Brief for work, and it has been an excellent choice. The ballistic nylon construction feels both durable and professional, while the expandable feature provides extra space on days when I need to carry more. The interior layout is thoughtfully designed, with a padded laptop sleeve, tablet pocket, and multiple compartments that keep my documents and accessories neatly organized. It’s comfortable to carry with the padded strap and leather handles, and it has a sleek, stylish look that fits perfectly in a professional setting. Although it’s a bit heavier than some slimmer briefcases, its functionality and design make it well worth using as an everyday work bag.

2nd Bag in 14 Years
This is the second version of this bag I have bought. The first was the larger version in 2012 and is on its way to be repaired so I can keep using it when necessary. However, as my office has gone digital I do not need as large a brief bag. So far, this one is a great replacement. No complaints. B&R is a great product.

Extremely happy with quality
I wanted to buy a Tumi bag. Came across this and instantly fell in love. Using it for over a week now. Extremely happy with the quality.

Perfect sized work bag
This is a great bag to take to work every day. It holds and organizes all my pens, papers and little extra things in the front pocket. My laptop fits neatly in the back pocket, and I still have room in the middle pocket for things like headphones and even snacks. My only wish is that the shoulder strap was longer or there was a longer one available for purchase.
