Quality speaks for itself—but our customers say it best. Here are a few unedited testimonials from those who have trusted us with their handcrafted Custom Hide pieces.

— John T. Floyd
Board Certified Criminal Defense Lawyer
Texas Board of Legal Specialization
“Both of the custom cases I ordered were beautiful when they arrived and only got better with age. Custom Hide has always been responsive with replacement parts and stands behind their warranty 100%. My Scholar briefcases have traveled with me into courts across Texas and the United States— they’ve become part of my practice, and I’m proud to carry them.”

Devin M., Virginia, Beautiful and heavy-duty!

This is a beautiful briefcase, elegantly designed and extremely professional in appearance. Despite its sleek looks, however, the high-quality leather is extremely tough. I’ve worried about tearing and rips with some other leather goods, but not this briefcase. It’s as tough and durable as a saddle. I don’t anticipate having to buy another briefcase for a long, long time , but if I do, or if I buy one as a gift for someone, I will absolutely come to Custom Hide before looking anywhere else. Wonderful customer service, too!

Leslie C. Houston , TX Birthday Present for Husband

I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and it was absolutely beautiful. Quality of the leather is great and the design is really elegant. He loved it and I couldn't be happier!


Darrell Landreaux Nokesville, VA Excellent Quality

I am a retired Air Force Colonel and work in the Department of Defense as an SES and my wife ordered this briefcase for me. I have owned many briefcases over the years but none can match the beauty and quality worksmanship of this briefcase. I had the back pocket zipper added along with my name and I get complements almost everyday. I just ordered a matching portfolio. These are the type of items you pass down from one generation to the next. If you are considering a top of the line briefcase you cannot go wrong with purchasing from Custom Hide.
