Tusting's simple, modern yet classic Henley bags will ensure you look debonair as you carry your paperwork. Slim and lightweight, the luxury leather briefcase, which is handrafted in England, is made from premium vegetable-tanned bridle leather, with a smooth suede interior.

It's also a petite number, so it's ideal for helping you take just your essentials – pack your tablet computer and a few papers, leave the kitchen sink behind, and you're away.

The Henley briefcase comes in a range of colours – if you're feeling bold, opt for Honeymoon Blue or Blush Cream. Conservative dressers can tone things down with a burgundy or a tan version. You're halfway towards nailing that business meeting already...
