The Forte – Leather Portfolio Briefcase by BLLB
Built to last. Crafted to impress.
There’s something undeniably powerful about a product that looks refined yet feels indestructible. The Forte by BLLB was designed for those who expect more from what they carry — strength, sophistication, and the quiet confidence that comes from authentic craftsmanship.
Each Forte is hand-stitched using the traditional saddle stitch technique, a method favored by master leather artisans for its strength and longevity. Unlike machine-made seams, this hand process ensures every stitch locks in durability — so your bag won’t unravel with time but rather grow richer in character.
Made from 100% full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, The Forte is more than a work accessory — it’s a piece that evolves with you. Its natural beeswax finish brings out deep tones and a soft sheen, developing a unique patina that tells your story over the years. Every mark and crease only adds to its charm.
Inside, functionality meets form. The main compartment comfortably fits up to a 15-inch laptop, while a dedicated pocket keeps essentials like pens, a phone, or a notebook organized. Reinforced with solid metal hardware and copper rivets, it’s engineered to handle years of travel, meetings, and movement without losing its structure or style.
From the boardroom to your next destination, The Forte reflects the BLLB philosophy — design with purpose, built with integrity, and finished with a human touch. This isn’t fast fashion; it’s slow craftsmanship for a fast-moving world.
Whether you choose Black, Chestnut, or Cognac, you’re investing in a statement piece that balances elegance and endurance. It’s not just a bag — it’s a lifelong companion that matures as beautifully as your journey.

Gorgeous bag, very high quality craftsmanship. Easily fits my 13" Macbook Pro; has a slim interior pocket (~6-7 inches wide) for e.g. phones, pens, notepads. Stands on its own. Shipping took only 7 days. Packaging was a nice touch - bag was secured in a cardboard box wrapped in paper, with a decorative twine tie and wax seal. The included beeswax leather balm is also very nice.
I have had many a bag (man purse) in my day. Probably 5 over the past 20 years. This one is by far the best. Super simple and classic. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. The leather is top quality and the brass hardware is such a nice and classy touch. Thank you!
Really nice craftsmanship. After a few days of use, the piece has started to settle into its shape and the leather has started to soften but still hold firmness. There's a ruggedness to it which I like while still being sleek. Color is rich and has character. Open format makes it easy to throw things into and out of. Also REALLY impressed with the beeswax leather conditioner that was included. Briefcase stands on its own, which I find incredibly helpful!
This bag is absolutely amazing. The craftsmanship is great, the design is really well thought out and shipping was quicker than I expected. Nothing but praise for this seller. If you’re looking for a bag that will take you through life, a good investment in your future everyday staples... stop right here. This is it.
This is exactly as pictured. The leather finish and thick cut feels and looks perfect. The stitching is substantial and clearly built to last. I got the custom engraving and couldn’t be happier with the product. The thick cut and design of the bottom of the briefcase allows it to sit upright when placed on a table which was an added surprise and plus.
My second bag and I’m really happy with it. Good quality, beautiful bag, fast shipping.
It looks great and sturdy, I will start using it tomorrow, it will most likely get softer after it is used for a while. Sending the leather conditioner is a nice touch.
Really nice quality for the price. Thrilled with the bag!
Love it! It’s sturdy and excellent quality.
