Stylish and Practical

I have taken the Agile Brief on a few business trips and all the little touches really make this a great bag. The easy access zip compartment is great for your ID, phone and key holder compartment keep your keys from scratching your phone. The shoulder grip really grips so you can bend over to pick something up or tie your shoe without the bag slipping from your shoulder. Lastly it stands on the own making it easy to pack or retrieve items. Fits everything I need including an HP laptop, iPad and associated accessories. The only improvement opportunity are the magnetic clips. It takes a bit getting used to and they snap back with some force so watch your fingers. Best bag I have ever owned.

Best Bag Ever

It's built like a tank-a well built, comfortable, practical, and purpose-built tank. Worth every penny.

Love it

Thank you!

Excellent Brief

I recently purchased a briefcase and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I use it every day for work, and it has proven to be the perfect size—not too small, but not too large either. The materials used are of high quality, giving it a durable and premium feel. I highly recommend this briefcase for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish option for daily use.

I love it

I have now had a few weeks with this bag, and I love it. Form and function play together beautifully in every setting I find myself in, from academic work to carrying everyday essentials on casual weekends. A few observations: 1. The quality is excellent, as one would expect. It’s my third WF bag (the other two are backpacks, and the finishing is always top-notch. 2. The size is great: it is slim and easy to carry, it stands on its own, and it holds everything I usually carry with me (laptop, notebooks, water, books, snacks plus phone and wallet). The outer flap easily allows a jacket to be strapped in, too. 3. I was pleased and surprised to see that the inside can hold my ebike battery (a Bosch PowerTube; removing it is a necessity sometimes courtesy of London’s many thieves). It can also double up as an inconspicuous camer bag: a Nikon Z6 with a 24-70/2.8 lens fits snuggly and leaves space for other items. 4. The bag flies under the radar but is a joy whenever one interacts with it - for those to whom this means something, I find the experience very much analogous to an Explorer I watch. Overall, this has quickly become my favourite go-to bag, and I expect it to remain that for many years or even decades to come.

THE CLASSIC BRIEFCASE GETS A NEW LOOK

The compact Agile Commuter Briefcase is designed with today's new work routine in mind. Whether going to the office or working remotely, you'll appreciate the small details that make your commute more comfortable and convenient.

The Supreme Suspension Strap helps lighten your load, and has a special grippy material on the shoulder pad so it doesn't slip off or wrinkle your shirt. Prefer to hold your brief by hand? The handles are wrapped in full-grain leather so they'll get softer over time and won't dig into your fingers.

The zipped flap pocket holds frequently accessed items like keys, employee badge, phone, earbuds, wallet, etc. for quick retrieval. The short flap is secured with a double, magnetic fidlock buckle so important documents stay secure.

SMALL DETAIL. BIG DIFFERENCE.

The Agile Commuter Briefcase is surrounded with a light foam shell that adds structure and functions as an extra protective layer. This comes in handy when you have to set your bag down at your feet.

THE SELF-FINDING MAGNETIC CLIPS

You won't realize how life-changing this can be until you experience it first-hand — buckles that seem to magically connect to each other. Now you can secure your bag without having to struggle with the buckles.

Open by sliding the clips in opposite directions. Close by pairing the the male and female components and they will magnetically find each there.

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

If you have the waxed canvas version of the Agile Brief, you can keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag.

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Agile Commuter Briefcase, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
