We cannot count the number of times we’ve been watching a show and began to furiously Google what dress that actor was wearing or what bag they were carrying in a specific scene – and that’s exactly what happened while we were watching one of the latest episodes of Gangs of London.
Sky’s hit show is back for its third season, and throughout, the fictional Wallace matriarch, Marian Wallace, can be seen sporting a super chic black briefcase.
The briefcase is seen resting beside her during an impromptu meeting during episode one of the third season, and is later carried by her security guard as she meets a drug lord in episode five. You know, as you do.
So, if the briefcase caught your eye, as it did ours, your search stops here: it’s the Palissy Briefcase made from London-based brand Carl Friedrik.
It’s not the first time the Palissy, one of the best-selling briefcases from Carl Friedrik, which was founded in 2012, has been spotted on prime time telly.
The luxury luggage has also featured in Succession, The White Lotus, and The Gentlemen, among others.
With its signature leather look, achieved from using buttery-smooth, vegetable-tanned Italian vachetta leather, it’s a chic briefcase that is both unisex and will take you from office to brunch to the skies.
Understated and clean-lined, it’s made to blend style and practicality with its 15-inch laptop compartment, multiple organisational pockets, and two pen slots.
What’s more, it comes in several different hues, such as black, navy, cognac, and chocolate, so you can get one for nearly every working day of the week.
With nearly all five-star reviews, it seems we’re not the only ones obsessed with this briefcase, with one customer stating that it “exceeded all expectations”.
Another added: “Needed a briefcase that felt young, substantial, and suited to his frame. We were searching in Venice and New York to find most to be frozen in time and [the] design never got updated. He loved the simplicity of the exterior design, and I think he looks amazing holding this as well as having it across his torso and off his shoulder. The strap clasps from the handle are a gamechanger to keep the integrity of the shape without getting lumpy, as I've noticed most leather briefcases do.”
