Three weeks after I had ordered my Pratomagno briefcase it arrived perfectly and carefully packed. It is difficult to describe how pleased I am with this real beauty of italian handicraft. What a fine leather! Every stich is done carefully! This briefcase will last for a lifetime (and longer), and it is a classic style. I use it for my notebook and whatever is to be carried to my office. Never seen a briefcase better made than this! Thanks also to Stefano with whom it was a pleasure to communicate! I love Italy and I love the way how Italians work with leather! Johannes
