![]() The Hanover is comfortable to tote around: Its leather handles are well-sized for smaller hands, and their rounded edges don’t bite into your skin. (Even when full, the Hanover maintains its sleek profile.) Eye-catching details, like gold-colored hardware and leather accents, dress up the bag’s water-resistant nylon exterior and pair well with more formal outfits (think: a wool suit or little black dress). It’s even smaller than the Carl Friedrik Vallance (also here in Other good briefcases), but it fits about the same amount of stuff since it’s more flexible. If you want an ultra-compact nylon briefcase that’s stylish and well-priced: The chic Knomo Hanover is slim and light, with just enough room for a 14-inch laptop and a few essentials. The Vallance has a 13-inch laptop pocket (although a 15-inch computer can fit in the main compartment), two medium-size internal pockets, and a small, flat external pocket for a passport or billfold. ![]() It can’t hold much more than a laptop, its zipper opens only at the top of the bag, and it has flat, less comfortable top handles and no shoulder strap. But whereas the Palissy offers both form and function-with ample space, a zippered opening on three sides, and sturdy, comfortable straps (including a detachable shoulder strap)-the Vallance is less practical. Like the Palissy, the Vallance is made with luxe Italian Vachetta leather, it’s structured enough to stand on its own, and it’s covered by a lifetime warranty against functional defects. It’s also a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the Carl Friedrik Palissy, our pick from the same manufacturer. If you want a gorgeous, minimalist leather briefcase for light loads only: The sleek Carl Friedrik Vallance is a former pick in this guide, and we still think it’s stunningly beautiful.
