The LaSalle Briefcase | Horween® Mill Dyed Tan Wooly CXL Horsehide
Hand-crafted in Chicago, the LaSalle is a professional briefcase defined by material integrity and daily utility. Built from Mill Dyed Tan Wooly CXL Horsehide, a masterwork leather produced personally by Skip Horween®, it offers a striking, mirror-like luster and an engineered, self-standing architecture that stays upright on your desk or the airport floor.
At a remarkably light 3 lbs, it provides 360° protection for your laptop without the cumbersome bulk of a traditional leather bag, while showcasing an intense, natural grain character that evolves with use.
The Engineering
Self-Standing Architecture: A reinforced base and Volara® closed-cell foam padding ensure the bag maintains its silhouette and never collapses.
Skip Horween's Wooly CXL Horsehide: A full-grain, highly specialized version of the iconic Chromexcel formula. Characterized by its intense natural grain and a high-shine, mirror-like luster, this Horween® leather is designed to absorb scratches and develop a profound, beautiful patina that uniquely reflects your journey.
Industrial Components: Finished with 100% solid brass hardware and YKK Excella® zippers—the gold standard for smooth, snag-free operation.
Storage & Utility
Internal Volume: 14.2 L of organized space.
High-Volume Pockets: Three internal leather-trimmed pockets, including two oversized slots designed to fit 5.5" diameter bottles or A5 notebooks.
Tech-Ready: Padded laptop sleeve, 16.5″ × 10.5″.
Travel-Optimized: Features a discrete, integrated leather luggage handle pass-through for seamless airport transit.

Leather Care
Horween Leather: Embrace the Scuffs (and the Patina!)First time with Horween leather? You might be surprised how easily it picks up marks. But don't worry, that's a good thing! Those little scuffs are the start of a beautiful journey called patina – where your leather develops a unique character with wear. Think of it like a fine wine aging to perfection.
Most minor scuffs buff out with your finger, and everyday use actually helps polish the leather. Horween® leather is packed with natural oils, so you don't need to condition it right away. After six months or a year, give it some love with our Tanner's Blend conditioner (made by a master tanner!). A little goes a long way – just use a dab and a soft brush to keep your Ashland gear looking its best.
