Bosca Black Pebbled Leather Double-Gusset Briefcase with Shoulder Strap

A substantial men's briefcase by Bosca, the Ohio-based leather goods house founded in 1911 and still producing in Springfield, Ohio — one of the few remaining American leather accessory manufacturers with continuous domestic operation stretching back to the early twentieth century. The firm's longevity rests on a consistent formula: full-grain hides, restrained hardware, and a classic silhouette that resists trend cycles. This example is constructed in supple black pebbled leather with a flap-over front, polished chrome push-button lock plate engraved BOSCA, and a padded rolled-leather top handle on swiveling chrome D-rings. A detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with a Bosca crest-embossed leather shoulder pad is included. The interior is lined in black satin with a sewn-in Bosca label, organizer slip pockets, a pen loop, and a zippered rear compartment.

The double-gusset body — three fully gusseted compartments — accommodates files, a laptop, and the daily load of a working professional without losing its tailored profile. The interior label reads Bosca Accessories Unlimited, a trade name the company used across several product lines. Maker-marked at the lock plate, the flap-tab emboss, and the interior label: three separate placements, consistent with Bosca's standard on its upper domestic lines.

CONDITION

Good and fully functional. Tested; lock and hardware operate correctly. Chrome lock plate shows scratching and finish wear. Leather shows softening, scuffs, and use-wear consistent with regular carry, with a stress crease and minor split at the lower front corner. Interior lining is intact; seam separation noted at the interior top edge of one compartment.
