The No.2 briefcase fits in wherever you do business. The impressive premium leather messenger briefcase combines a timeless design with modern functionality.
The No.2 is handcrafted in Northern Italy from the finest premium Italian full-grain vegetable-tanned cow leather and is available in several classic colors. The interior is lined with hard-wearing cotton canvas and convenient compartments make it easy to carry your everyday and business essentials fully organized. Comfortably pack up to a 15.6” laptop and don't worry about whether or not it will be secure as the back compartment has padding on both sides.
Solid brass hardware showcases timeless elegance and durability, ensuring the product's longevity. Robust lock-and-key closures keep your things safe but easily accessible for you when you need them. While the dual lock-and-key closures enhance security, they may require a moment longer to operate than a single lock, ensuring your belongings are doubly protected. You will also find two zipped pockets — one in the front under the flap and one in the back. Forget about flimsy top handles — we've designed these to be sturdy and reliable. Equally, you can opt for the adjustable shoulder or cross-body strap for a more casual style.
When ordering from us, you’ll receive everything ready to be gifted. Our bags come with a handmade cotton dust bag. Please use it when storing the bag to help the leather remain in good condition and develop a rich patina over time. Additionally, all smaller items such as wallets and belts will arrive beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, a gift box, and a gift bag.

We offer product personalization—embossing and engraving—for most of our leather accessories. Add initials, names, dates, logos, phrases, or personal messages to create a truly thoughtful and one of a kind gift of sentimental value that can be cherished for years to come.
You’ll find personalization options on the product page of your chosen item. Select embossing or laser engraving before checkout, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Once your order is placed, we'll promptly send an email featuring a visual representation of the engraving for your selected product, ensuring it meets your expectations before the personalization process begins.
Vegetable-tanned Cuoio Superiore leather may vary slightly in texture and color across different parts or products, and, in some cases, include small, occasional scars, inherent to the hide's natural surface. These marks are not defects but rather are indicative of authenticity, highlighting the material's quality and our commitment to natural beauty. Below, you'll find illustrations that showcase these features. If you prefer a more uniform look, there are cheaper alternatives available that are extensively chemically treated for consistency. However, they lack the longevity and evolving rich patina that our vegetable-tanned leather offers.
To preserve these distinctive features and ensure your leather accessory ages gracefully, we recommend treating it once a month with our Premium Leather Cream. This regular maintenance not only enhances the longevity of your accessory but also complements the unique characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather.
We offer free worldwide express shipping on all orders over $200.

As Featured In
MADE IN ITALY
It is not without reason that Italy is known as the land of true artisans. All our products are made in Florence and Northern Italy in family-owned studios, where the tradition of leather craftsmanship has been passed down generations. Believing that our customers deserve the best and showing our appreciation for this masterful heritage craft, we are ready to pay honest production prices for the high-quality work being put into each product.
DISTINGUISHED CUOIO SUPERIORE LEATHER
This product is crafted using prime Cuoio Superiore full-grain leather embodying a legacy of excellence in Italian craftsmanship. This superior-grade, vegetable-tanned leather is selected with utmost care, ensuring a product that matures beautifully over time. Committed to the importance of sustainability and quality, every aspect of this item reflects its prestigious origin and superior craftsmanship.
SOLID BRASS HARDWARE
Crafted with precision, this product is equipped with solid brass hardware from the distinguished workshops of Lombardy, a testament to Northern Italy's legacy of quality craftsmanship. This not only ensures a superior feel and aesthetic but also guarantees enduring functionality and timeless style. Our commitment to using the finest materials is a testament to our dedication to quality — every detail counts in crafting a piece that retains its elegance and appeal for years to come.
FINE ITALIAN COTTON LINING
We ensure that all our products are beautiful inside and out. We use natural thick and robust Italian cotton canvas lining. Unlike synthetic materials, it is sustainable and pleasant to touch. Moreover, the cotton lining is long-lasting thanks to the well-known Italian grasp of impeccable textile manufacturing. Due to this, an ordinary fabric like cotton is turned into something that will serve well to those who expect the highest quality.
SUSTAINABILITY
When choosing Von Baer products, you can be sure that you’re not only getting something stylish and high quality but are also supporting a sustainable business and traditional craftsmanship. We do our business in a way that supports local communities and does not harm the planet.
