Caught in the rain? Wipe the bag dry with a soft cloth and treat it with leather balm once it has dried.
To clean, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners. The leather darkens and gains character with use. That is the point.

As featured in
On the move
Rides on your suitcase.
The strap across the back slips over the handle of your suitcase, so the briefcase sits on top while you walk through the station or the airport.
The detail
An open pocket up front.
The front pocket has no zip and no flap, so phone or boarding pass slide in and out with one hand. The main compartment holds a 15-inch laptop and closes with a zip.
The promise
Built to be repaired.
Backed by our Limited Lifetime Guarantee. If a manufacturing defect shows up, we repair it for the lifetime of your ROWDY.

Before you buy
Slimline Briefcase FAQ
The questions we hear most often.
How does Repairs for Life work?
Our Limited Lifetime Guarantee covers manufacturing and workmanship defects for the lifetime of your ROWDY: a seam that opens, a clip that fails. Wear and accidental damage are not covered. Full terms.
Will the leather scratch?
Yes, a little. Leather shows its use: small marks soften and blend into the patina over time. If you want a bag that looks new forever, this is not it.
How fast is delivery?
We ship from Germany. Delivery within Germany takes 2-5 working days and costs EUR 3.57.
How can I pay?
PayPal, credit card, SEPA direct debit, Klarna (instant transfer or invoice) and bank transfer in advance.
Can I return it?
Yes. You have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the day you receive your order. Withdrawal policy.
Which laptop fits?
A 15-inch laptop fits, with room left for a few extras. The bag measures approx. 36 × 26 × 4 cm, so compare that with your device if you are unsure.
How does the luggage strap work?
A leather strap runs across the back of the bag. Slide it over the extended handle of your suitcase and the briefcase rests on top.
How can I carry it?
By the two top handles, or over the shoulder with the adjustable strap. The strap clips off when you do not need it.
