RUMI Notes

From office to café – how to carry your briefcase in style

Från kontor till café – så bär du portföljen med stil

A briefcase is no longer reserved for the boardroom. Today, it is as obvious in the office as it is in the café around the corner. It’s all about how you carry it – and what type of briefcase expresses your style. At RUMI OF SWEDEN, we have created two full-grain leather briefcases with different expressions and feel: Classic and Livia . Both made to accompany you through workdays, meetings and creative breaks.

The leather briefcase as a style statement – ​​more than just function

We know that a bag is not just a practical object. It says something about you – about your taste, your profession and maybe even your philosophy of life. A portfolio in high-quality leather is a discreet but strong statement. It conveys structure, ambition and aesthetics in one breath.

Carrying your briefcase in style isn't about conforming to a certain dress code. It's about choosing a model that feels right for you, and that works at the pace you live.

Classic leather briefcase – for the traditional minimalist

The Classic Portfolio is created with a timeless, straightforward design that suits those who like structure and elegance without exaggeration. It is perfect for professional environments – whether you work in banking, law or creative leadership.

With its clean lines and clear shape, Classic gives a sophisticated expression that never goes out of style. It is just as natural to wear with a suit as it is with a stylish coat. It is the bag for those who prefer a classic expression, but do not want to compromise on craftsmanship.

Carry the bag like this:

With a dark suit, low shoes and discreet accessories – or with a wool coat and knitted sweater on your way to the breakfast meeting.

Livia portfolio – for the modern individualist

The Livia Portfolio has a softer silhouette and subtle curves that give a more personal expression. It is suitable for those who move between different environments – from client meetings to co-working spaces and weekend planning over coffee.

Livia combines functionality with style. It has the same durable structure and space as the Classic, but feels slightly more casual in its expression. This makes it a popular choice among both women and men looking for an elegant yet relaxed alternative to the traditional briefcase.

Carry the bag like this:

With an oversized blazer, loafers and a casual shirt – or with jeans and a thin polo shirt for a day on the go.

Style meets usability

Whether you choose Classic or Livia, RUMI OF SWEDEN portfolios are made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather from LWG-certified tanneries. This means they are not only aesthetically beautiful, but also a more sustainable and conscious choice.

Both models have space for a laptop, notepad and the essentials you need for the day. The interior layout is carefully thought out to help you stay organized – without compromising on visual appeal.

A final style tip

Your briefcase is not just something you carry – it becomes an extension of yourself. Choose it with care, and let it become a part of your everyday life. Whether your day starts at the office or with a cappuccino at your favorite café.
