A beautiful timeless classic! You only need one, really good quality leather briefcase, to last a lifetime. As my dad would say, "there is no substitute for quality!" I loved your review Teik!

I think at $1600 it is very overpriced. You can buy $200 leather satchels that would last decades, they won’t have a cotton lining but a lot of the $1,600 is a premium for the brand and made in NZ stamp.

I think you are paying a bit of a premium but the leather quality very high - it’s clearly top grain leather. I don’t think you can compare it to a $200 satchel. There’s no way a satchel with that much high quality leather would cost $200. The true price is $1,440 as signing up to Rodd & Gunn’s loyalty programme gives you an immediate 10% discount. Also, their luggage is excluded from their biannual sales which suggests the margin is not as large as you might think.

Im trying to get "Cambridge Messenger Satchel." Do you think I should go for this one better or stick to my choice? I want something that will last me more than a decade.

I had no idea R&G had been around so long. Great review! I have my mother’s old leather briefcase and it hasn’t quite done so well. No idea what brand it is, and she chucked out the shoulder strap. But I have been meaning to revive it as the leather itself is fine and it’s a nice looking piece. I think the price of yours was reasonable in 2005, but $1600 in 2024? Not really, even if it lasts 50 years. You were smart (and lucky) to grab one back then.

Depends on how long you plan on using it. Sounds like he has got plenty of use out of it

I love that the big inside compartment is not divided. That’s hard to find nowadays. I often carry big paper files - and lunch - and a divided inside compartment makes the spaces too small. I would love to find a less expensive version of this.

Speaking of not boots, what’s that cardigan? I have one from Brooks Brothers that’s the same simple weave but it’s extremely heavy. Yours looks a bit less thick and I love the light grey

Nice, wish their boots were better though. Some R&G items are good but a lot of stuff feels like it is afraid to scare off price-sensitive mall shoppers and so cuts too many corners.

I agree their footwear is a bit hit and miss. Their more casual offerings are better. Hard to compete with RMW in that space though.
