Bamboo Briefcase

Three years ago I featured one made from cedar, stylish enough to have been sold by MOMA.

Alas, it's no longer available.

Time for new wood.

Bamboo Briefcase

This bamboo briefcase is stronger than steel yet as light as a traditional attaché case.

The briefcase is handmade from Moso bamboo, a dense grass with a tensile strength of 28,000 lbs. per square inch — 5,000 lbs. greater than that of steel.

Despite its exceptional strength it weighs only 5-1/2 lbs., resulting in a briefcase that is both durable and easy to carry.

The bamboo is sustainably harvested from a forest in the Highlands of Central China where the temperate climate encourages slower growth, producing a dense, hard culm.

The briefcase is naturally water-resistant and won't crack or splinter, providing optimal protection for sensitive documents when navigating a bustling metropolis.

The interior is lined with supple suede and has two file pockets, three penholders, and a cell phone compartment.

Dual combination locks secure the contents of the case.

17-1/4 "W x 12-3/4"H x 3-1/2"D.

5-1/2 lbs.

"Bustling metropolis" — huh.

I guess that means no dice for me.

Don't let that stop you, though.

Be honest: did you know what "culm" meant before you read it here?

$199.95.
