Frequently asked questions about the product

Which laptop is compatible? Does a 16" MacBook Pro fit?

Yes. The 178 Journeyman Briefcase has a dedicated padded compartment compatible with the 16" MacBook Pro, one of the largest and most popular laptops among professionals. The compartment is designed to protect the device during travel. It is also compatible with most Windows laptops of similar size.

How is the interior organized?

The interior is structured with: a padded laptop compartment (up to 16"), a padded tablet compartment (iPad Pro), internal organizational pockets for cables, chargers, glasses, and small accessories, a dedicated space for a water bottle, and an external zip pocket for frequently used items. The wide top opening allows you to see and access all contents without having to empty the bag.

Can it be carried on the shoulder as well as by hand?

Yes. The 178 Journeyman Briefcase includes a 38mm padded shoulder strap, adjustable from 113 to 162 cm, which allows it to be carried comfortably on the shoulder or across the body. The shoulder strap is padded to distribute the weight evenly, which is important given the 13.5-liter capacity and the weight of a full bag.

Does it attach to a trolley?

Yes. There is a pass-through strap on the back that allows you to secure the briefcase to the telescopic handle of a trolley, making travel at the airport or train station much more convenient without having to carry two separate bags.

Is the leather genuine? Where does it come from?

Yes. The 178 Journeyman Briefcase is made from Italian pebbled cowhide leather, sourced from the Gruppo Mastrotto tannery in Adria, one of the most recognized tanneries in Italy. The tanning is environmentally certified. Natural grain variations make each bag unique.

How much does the empty bag weigh? Is it heavy to carry?

The empty bag weighs 2,000 g (2 kg), which is a normal weight for a genuine leather professional briefcase of this size (43 × 31.5 × 10 cm, 13.5 L). Pebbled cowhide leather is a robust and structured material: the weight is part of the construction quality. The 38mm padded shoulder strap helps distribute the load comfortably.

What colors are available?

The 178 Journeyman Briefcase is available in Black (classic, formal, and versatile black) and Dark Brown (dark brown, warmer and more distinctive, ideal for those seeking a less formal but still elegant look). Both versions are made with the same Gruppo Mastrotto pebbled cowhide leather.

Does it fit A4 documents?

Yes. The internal dimensions of the briefcase are designed to accommodate A4 documents, folders, notebooks, and magazines without bending them. This is one of the fundamental characteristics of a professional briefcase of this type.

How do you care for and clean the leather?

For routine cleaning, a soft, dry cloth is sufficient. To maintain the softness and luster of the leather over time, it is advisable to periodically apply a neutral leather conditioner. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, direct sun, and excessive heat. In case of accidental wetting, blot gently and allow to air dry away from heat sources.

What distinguishes this briefcase from other similar leather briefcases?

The 178 Journeyman Briefcase stands out for three elements: the certified Italian pebbled cowhide leather (Gruppo Mastrotto, not generic or synthetic leather), the complete internal organization with separate padded compartments for laptop and tablet plus a bottle space and external zip pocket, and the dual carrying modes by hand, on the shoulder, and attached to a trolley. It is a bag designed for the professional who travels daily with all their essentials.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes, it is a valuable and impressive gift for anyone who works daily with a laptop and appreciates genuine Italian leather accessories. The combination of professional functionality, premium materials, and timeless design makes it appreciated for important birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and any special occasion.
