165 Years Of History, Slimmed Down.

How do you elevate our most popular Gladstone briefcase and create something new? We combined the romance of our historic Gladstone closure with a design focused on a slim and compact leather laptop bag. This Gladstone Slim laptop bag is 33% thinner than our regular briefcase yet still fits a 16-inch MacBook Pro. American full-grain leathers and hand-pounded copper rivets make this slim brief functional, durable, and outrageously handsome.

The Iconic Gladstone Hinged Opening

The real genius of this briefcase is the wide gladstone opening for easily accessing your items. The hinge is strong and opens wider at the top to easily access such a slim leather laptop bag. Where other briefcases totter between being too hard to get into and on the other side of the coin, too easy to open and spill everything out, the Gladstone Slim Briefcase offers an elegant solution. Pull it open, get what you need, and swivel it shut. Then secure it all with a strap and rivet.

Full-Grain Leather That Lasts and Lasts

A truly magnificent briefcase must become more than the sum of its parts, but for that to happen, we must start with the best materials. We've sourced full-grain leather that is the best in the world. Working with American-sourced steer hides, we hand-select only the best portions and use those to create the Gladstone slim briefcase. This leather is so high quality that it has "patina potential." As you handle it over the years, the leather is made to take on a distinctive and beautiful well-worn charm (a patina). Age only adds to its beauty!

Sophisticated Herringbone Fabric Interior

Herringbone is an enduring classic pattern in luxury items from fine suits to high-end furniture accents. We sourced an incredibly high-end (and expensive) upholstery-grade Herringbone fabric for the interior of the briefcase because we wanted a perfect balance of durability and stunningly beautiful. It also provides an elegantly contrasting background to help you see your items in the laptop bag.

Enough Space for an Office On the Go

This slim leather briefcase can holds up to a 16-inch macbook pro and much more. Included is a padded laptop pocket The main interior compartment is spacious yet thoughtfully distributed. The outside also features more slip pockets. All this tucks away and is carriable with two comfortable handles and a shoulder strap.

Our Confidence in Our Artistry

We know that the work of our Artisans is unparalleled, and we show that confidence with a 25-year leather warranty. On the inside of each bag, we have discreetly made room for the Artisan to sign their name as a testament to their skill. That way, when you get your hands on this bag, you feel the quality that went into making it just for you. Welcome to the Pad & Quill family.
