I purchased this briefcase for my husband as an anniversary gift. The briefcase was shipped in an Amazon box but then was packaged in a nice Kenneth Cole box and wrapped in a nylon, reusable bag.  The Amazon shipping box was ripped open upon receipt but it appeared nothing was missing or damaged.  The briefcase itself is very nice. It's real leather and has nylon edging around the handles. The zipper pulls are sturdy and the zippers are smooth upon use. The suggested retail price was listed on the tag as $300++! Given the construction and the quality of the bag, I believe it! My husband's old briefcase was the Kenneth Cole- I Rest My Case and that briefcase has held up for 7+ years, through many MN winters with snow, ice, and lots of street salt. I hope this briefcase holds up and has an even longer life!
