Gentlemen,
I am toying with the idea of commissioning a bespoke briefcase and originally thought to commission one of the better bespoke shoemakers for this job, but it seems that they outsource leather goods to specialist makers. Hence, I'm thinking that commissioning these artisans directy might be a better idea. The style of briefcase will either be a traditional topframe, or a soft three-gusset reproduction of a Berluti RTW style which is my current fave.
I'm considering those in the list below - does anyone have any opinions on any of them, and also any additional suggestions?

I'm looking for the best quality imaginable, something to last a century and be carried every single day, superior to any RTW or "brand". To quote Benz with regards to the Merc 600, "engineered without regard to any budget".
