I’m not sure why I’ve been in the mood to browse through briefcases lately, but I keep running across some great versions of this stereotypical work bag style. Matt & Nat’s take on the handbag is quite the opposite of the Hobo International Barbara that I recently found but much more suitable for today’s urban, on-the-go types.
Staying true to their signature contemporary look, Matt & Nat created a hip version of the briefcase in this Ando Streamline bag. Also keeping with the label’s eco and animal-friendly philosophy, the Streamline is made only from manmade leather with a recycled material faux suede lining.
Though it is categorized as a briefcase and bears some of the bag style’s usual details like short carrying handles and lots of storage pockets, the Ando Streamline would easily serve more than just a workplace purpose. The tall shape defies the standard east-to-west rectangular shape of work bags and puts a modern spin on the design. This unexpected shape makes it just as appropriate for every day, or even traveling when you factor in the handbag’s detachable adjustable strap. This allows you to wear it on the shoulder or across the body.
Another great feature of this Ando briefcase is that it’s simple lines and contemporary details make it an attractive tote for men or women. There’s nothing particularly feminine or masculine about the design. Although many women might prefer a more overtly girly style, this version of the Streamline briefcase will suit plenty of others.
