Yes, it looks awfully undersized for a briefcase, but that’s intentional. That’s because the CHI Slim Kirkman Briefcase is designed for the professional who packs to work light, stripping away all the unnecessary volume and leaving enough room for just your workday essentials, with none of the frills.
Measuring just an inch in thickness, it’s ridiculously slim, so it’s not quite the kind of bag to carry anything bulky, boxy, or erstwhile irregular in shape. It does, however, measure 11 x 15 inches on the height and width, so it’s large enough to accommodate 13-inch laptops and tablets, along with any documents, notebooks, and writing instruments you’re bringing along. Heck, you can even throw in a packable rain jacket in there if the weather conditions require it.
The CHI Slim Kirkman Briefcase is more portfolio than briefcase, albeit in wider and taller dimensions than the erstwhile document holders. As such, it makes for a great alternative to traditional briefcases, especially for folks who ride crowded trains to the office every morning. So that it holds up to everyday use, the bag is cut in durable, water-resistant, stain-resistant, and wrinkle-proof Cordura, with a black spacer mesh lining that’s gentle on any gear you stash inside. It comes with exterior pockets that let you store gear for easy access, along with supple leather wrapped around the handles.
Available now, the CHI Slim Kirkman Briefcase is priced at $275.
