Unfortunately a leather craftsman named R.F. Clark is no longer making his briefcases, he ran an online shop called the leather foundry, and R.F. Clark Sadderly. I missed him by a few months, if that, from the beginning of his retirement. What's the next best thing, who is the next closest individual craftsman?
Most briefcases made and used today are awful if not ghastly. I've scoured reams of the internet and ended up asking here for knowledge of the next closest artisan. I'm looking for pieces like Ortus, Trudell, RF Clark of course, William and Son, SAB (etc. - papworth, peal and co, etc), Simon Baker. Triple gusseted, english bridle leather, brass details, simple, in the English tradition. Thank you for your suggestions. Again, I'm looking for an individual artist as a general rule, because of customization, but I'm open to any suggestions as like the above. Thank you for them.
