The LaSalle Briefcase | Horween® Mill Dyed Tan Wooly CXL Horsehide

Hand-crafted in Chicago, the LaSalle is a professional briefcase defined by material integrity and daily utility. Built from Mill Dyed Tan Wooly CXL Horsehide, a masterwork leather produced personally by Skip Horween, it offers a striking, mirror-like luster and an engineered, self-standing architecture that stays upright on your desk or the airport floor.

At a remarkably light 3 lbs, it provides 360° protection for your 16" MacBook Pro without the cumbersome bulk of a traditional leather bag, while showcasing an intense, natural grain character that evolves with use.

The Engineering

Self-Standing Architecture: A reinforced base and Volara® closed-cell foam padding ensure the bag maintains its silhouette and never collapses.

Skip Horween's Wooly CXL Horsehide: A full-grain, highly specialized version of the iconic Chromexcel formula. Characterized by its intense natural grain and a high-shine, mirror-like luster, this Horween® leather is designed to absorb scratches and develop a profound, beautiful patina that uniquely reflects your journey.

Industrial Components: Finished with 100% solid brass hardware and YKK Excella® zippers—the gold standard for smooth, snag-free operation.
