Kenneth Cole · Pens & Desk Objects
Single compartment, full leather, slim enough not to look like luggage at an interview.
4.4 out of 5
Slim enough not to look like luggage at an interview, which is the failure mode of most work bags. Full leather, single compartment, and it ages well. No padded laptop sleeve — add one if he carries a machine.
