Shopping for a briefcase
Today's
business cases and computer bags feature both trendy and traditional
styles, offering busy executives more pockets, compartments and
organizer sections than in the past. They can range from the classic
leather business attaché to the office-on-the-go on wheels. There
are business cases that can conceal computer laptops to ones that
allow a user to work on a computer while it remains in the
case.
Business cases are styled to enhance the working
business wardrobe and fitted to cope with the various needs of
business people. Most business cases are manufactured with leather,
vinyl, or fabric.
Some are made of molded
plastic, metal, or even wood.
- Attachés
The attaché is a fully
framed, box-shaped case, which is usually secured by one or more
combination or key locks. Some attachés include a removable
portfolio. Attachés open flat so that the contents can be easily
seen and can also be used like a desk.
- Envelopes
Envelopes have flap
closures with locks or snaps. Some have handles or detachable
shoulder straps. Envelopes are generally lightweight and have some
expandability.
- Zippered
Cases
Zippered cases open from the top, with
either a top zipper, or zippers that extend around two or three
sides. They range from simple, unfitted styles to those with more
elaborately featured interiors.
- Catalog Case or
Pilot's Case
A rectangular bag closed by a long
single flap or double flaps (one of which fits over the other),
the catalog or pilot's case is designed for maximum carrying
capacity. Handles can be double straps or fixed, and fit through a
slot in the flaps.
- "Offices-On-The-Go"
Fabricated in
leather, heavy gauge nylon, and even lightweight aluminum, these
business cases feature a trolley system, and pockets and
compartments for organizing office and overnight travel
essentials.
- Brief
bags
They are ideal for people carrying a large
volume of papers or books and are popular with attorneys,
accountants, and students.
- Alternative Business
Cases
Alternative business cases in the form of
backpacks, messenger bags and business totes are designed to be
more casual work organizers. Some are designed with easy-to-access
mesh side compartments for frequently needed
items.
Brief bags can be purchased in
Bahrain in major stores that sell leather products and travel
luggage. | |
