I have the Lodis Audry-Brera Briefcase in black w/ red trim.  I liked it, and had planned to later purchase the briefcase with wheels.  BUT...It appears that this item is some kind of cloth with a very thin coat of leather bonded to it.  I discovered this yesterday when the loop for the strap broke and the bag fell to the ground.  I at first thought the metal piece had simply slipped out, but upon inspection I saw that the loop formed by the strip of "leather" had simply torn in two at the stitching. I wouldn't expect that from leather, and closer look showed little threads at the edge of the loop!  I showed it to my fellow engineers, and we all agreed that it was not leather, that these were threads.  This is not what you pay close to $300 for!  I bought mine in the mall, but it was about that price.  This is outrageous!!!!  Just wish I had figured it out sooner so I could have returned it.  I don't like spending my hard earned money on fake junk!
