Note the leather type as it determines the durability of your luggage. Check the product information tag to see what material the attache case is made of. Is it made of cattle grain, or sheep? There are also bags that are made of skins from other creatures for their unique markings, such as alligator, snake and ostrich.

Leather attache cases with padded handles and smooth zippers are the best choices. When checking the handles, attention should be paid to comfort and quality. Thus they can't be too soft or too hard. However, it is said that a handle will become softer after a period of use so choosing a hard handle sometimes is ok. Zippers should be designed to travel smoothly, allowing you to quickly access your documents.

An ideal attache case should have a spacious main compartment for daily necessities and several inter-compartments for more packing storage. The file dividers should have enough space to ensure a safe storage of documents. When checking them, have a try and see if it is easy to access the paper.
