Tanner Leatherstein breaks apart the Jules Briefcase

Journal entry still being written... in the meantime we would appreciate your help to like/comment/share so we can get the algorithms going!


A note on Tanner’s cost breakdown: his back-of-napkin math isn't bad, but it's a way off the real-world wages we pay Cristina and her tiny Florence team, or the hours that go into fully hand-cutting, hand-sewn pieces in Badalassi Carlo Minerva veg-tan and Palladium Plated Brass from a jewellery manufacturer in Madrid. (That labour cost will come down a touch when we can run higher volumes—something this exposure may well help.) Anyway the full pricing breakdowns are available on the product pages for the bags.


Where to find the bags:


The exact model of the Jules Tanner pulled apart is from our V2 leather line and is now available at Naked (at-cost) pricing while stock lasts.


Our newly slightly tweaked v3 version—upgraded hardware and a refined internal build—is open for pre-order at (Un)dressed pricing.

Cutting into this $2,000 veg-tan leather briefcase felt... wrong. But that’s the only way to find out the truth. Visit them at @archibaldlondon.
