Claire Chase Executive Briefcase

Pros: Holds 17" HP laptop, no problem. Construction looks first class...should last a lifetime. First time to purchase ClaireChase bag, but look forward to many miles and smiles with this one.

Cons: Not a thing!

Pros: Quality leather. Thick, comfortable strap. Wide. Able to hold decent amount. Front pockets great for holding wallet, keys, thumb drives, money, phone, etc. Looks good. Overall, I like the bag very much; however, I will need to purchase a slip for the bag to hold computer gear (E.g. cables, chargers, mifi, etc.).

Cons: Would be much improved if zippered or velcro pockets were inserted enclosed within the bag itself. There is only one and it's not that large. There are some interior pockets, but they are open, so if the bag is placed on its side in the overhead during a flight, the contents will slip out of 4 pockets (which are thin and heavy items will rip or pull apart the stitching). The velcro straps holding contents in the two larger pockets are not wide enough for typical computer or technology paraphenalia. The bag is heavy, but that is to be somewhat expected.

Pros: The design wsa made obviously by a business traveller because it has everything I could ever want in a briefcase. Not only does my 17 inch laptop fit, but there is room for
everything else.. I bought my first ClaireChase product about 4 years ago and have had nothing but compliments.

Cons: I can't say anything about the bag I don't like.

Pros: Lots of useful pockets with easy access on front side. Holds a large laptop and lots of pockets for accessories. Leather and zippers appear very durable, but this is my first Claire Chase bag, so I can't comment on durability.

Cons: Pen holders too skinny and thick pens (like a mont blanc) do not fit. Lots of extra pockets though, so not a big deal.
