Design Philosphy
Timeless Design for Our Time
"One of the guiding principals of my career has been to create timeless designs. Of course, this is easier said than done. So many of my competitors' bags and cases are based on designs from the past. They'd look more at home in the 1820s than the 2020s. I always try to innovate with each new model I create. This can be a unique orientation, new proportions, new use of materials, or unique features. Look for these as you learn more about each model."
Personally Engaged
“With most designer brands, the designer is just a brand name. The designer doesn’t know or even interact with the people actually designing their products. Not so with me. I still personally design each new model, ensure functionality and take part in testing prototypes. Why don’t I just phone it in like so many others? Because I love this. My passion to create timeless and innovative solutions to make your life better can be felt in each piece."
Superior Functionality and Protection
"A pretty design is not worth much if it doesn't protect the items you carry." Design is more than how something looks. It's also about how something works. One example of how my products differ from the competition is that they offer what I call "Fully Layered Protection". High-density foam padding is placed between the exterior hides and the interior liner, providing superior protection and peace of mind."
Ethically Sourced Leather Since 2007
"When I launched my collection over 15 years ago, I insisted on using ethically sourced leather because it was the right thing to do. Our leather is sourced from ex-dairy cows whose hides only become available when the cows pass naturally. They're not a by-product of the beef or other industries.
World Class Quality
World Class People
"All my designs are made very slowly by hand, one at a time, from ethically sourced hides. But the best hides in the world are worthless without talented, passionate people to bring ideas to life. Our master craftspeople possess world-class skills and are emotionally invested in creating the best products possible. This imbues the products with a presence and provides you with an ongoing experience that someone who cared about their craft made your case or bag."
World Class Materials
"When I launched my collection, I studied the available options. Every choice I made seemed to be the most expensive. Ethical sourcing and vegetable dying costs more. Full and top grain hides cost (much) more. Unlike many competitors, I'm only interested in putting quality products into the world. Whether it's our unfinished full grain, vintage brown or our classic, pebble grain black, they're as tough as they are beautiful."
Attention to Detail
"I wanted a definitive visual statement of my commitment to quality. You cannot sew with white thread unless every stitch is perfect. Throughout the line, white thread is used on the curved leather panels. Look for this detail. Sewing on a curved panel is exponentially harder to do. It takes time and extreme skill to execute this consistently. The white thread highlights this beautifully. This visual statement of quality is present in every MSD model."
Not Your Fathter's Briefcase
"So many of the briefcases available here on amazon would look more at home in the 1820s than the 2020s. They're needlessly complicated, visually noisy and a hassle to get your stuff in and out of. My briefcase is a clean sheet of paper design with a form and function based on how you live your life today. Vertically designed to move with you, the radical yet functional orientation is a constant reminder that this is not your father's briefcase."
A Vertical Design That Moves With You
"The vertical axis of the case is perfectly aligned with the vertical axis of your body. This creates a symbiotic relationship that makes it easier to move through the world. The case moves when you want it to and is not flopping around when you don’t. It's more comfortable to wear than a similar-sized horizontal model. Moreover, the design is more protective than a horizontal bag, which can place your laptop in harm's way by having it stick out into the flow of traffic. "
2 Colors, 2 Very Different Statements
"I'm often asked, 'Which color should I choose, black or brown?' My reply is always the same: It depends. People along the Eastern Seaboard who work in finance or other more conservative environments typically choose black. It will always look good and match whatever they're wearing. People everywhere else who have a bit of Indiana Jones in them will go for the Vintage brown. It speaks to the adventurer in all of us."
In Constant Production Since 2013
"How many of the bags you've looked have been in constant production for over 10 years? This one has. That says lot about a product. The design works well for a lot of people, in a lot of situations, a lot of the time. Many of the original production pieces made in 2013 are still in the field. I know this because I talk to their owners. It's professional enough for any meeting and comfortable enough to wear or carry all day."

This is the best case I have ever used in look, design, and craftsmanship. The leather is the real thing and will most likely last longer than I will. It is great looking and very unique, nothing else like it that I have seen. The interior is simple in design but elegant and perfect in providing a safe area for my laptop, an area for accessories, papers, and miscellaneous items. I use it primarily as a briefcase but have used it as a bag for overnight trips. My kids keep trying to take it and I will most likely have to get them their own so it does not go missing. Highly recommended.

Finally, a bag for my computer that is sleek, stylish and most importantly - Functional.The designer thought of every last detail. There is a space for everything and even pockets for added items or things you want to have quick and easy access to. The quality of the leather and construction are exceptional and the design - classic.I have received many compliments on the bag especially when traveling. Wish I came across this bag sooner.
