If you're shopping for a leather briefcase in Dubai, six bags come up again and again: from Emery, Maverick & Co., Jafferjees, Ryoko, Nappa Dori and Kaizer Leather. They cost between AED 1,369 and AED 2,049, and each one is best at something different. Maverick is the cheapest and takes a 16-inch MacBook Pro. Nappa Dori also fits 16 inches. Jafferjees has a combination lock and two stores you can visit. Kaizer is the biggest bag here and has a showroom in Deira. Emery gives you the longest cover: a lifetime warranty, 100 days to return it and free delivery across the GCC.
We make one of these bags, so we're not neutral. Everything below comes from what each brand publishes on its own UAE website, and we've said where the others come out ahead.

The best pick for each need
Lowest price: Maverick & Co. Windsor Deluxe. At AED 1,369 it's the cheapest bag here, it takes a 16-inch MacBook Pro, and it has a lot of pockets. Personalisation is extra, from AED 179.
For a 16-inch laptop: Nappa Dori Camden or Maverick Windsor Deluxe. Both fit 16 inches. The Camden is also the slimmest bag here at about 6.4 cm, and its back strap slides over a trolley handle.
To see it in person: Jafferjees or Kaizer. Jafferjees has stores in Dubai and Sharjah, and the Abbey Road has a combination lock and can be personalised. Kaizer has a showroom in Al Khabaisi, Deira.
Most room: Kaizer Cavalry. At 43 × 30 × 9 cm with a double gusset, it's the largest bag in the list, and it's vegetable-tanned full-grain leather.
A two-tone look: Ryoko Wellington. It comes in tan with brown, and Ryoko gives a 2-year warranty with free UAE delivery.
Longest cover: Emery Prestige. It's vegetable-tanned full-grain calf with solid brass hardware and a YKK zip, it takes laptops up to 15.5 inches in their own compartment, and it comes with a lifetime warranty, 100 days to return it and free delivery to all six GCC countries. It doesn't fit a 16-inch laptop, and you can't see it in a store; it's sold online only.
How to choose
Start with your laptop. If it's 16 inches, your choice is the Camden or the Windsor Deluxe. Then decide how much the leather matters: only Emery and Kaizer say their leather is vegetable-tanned full-grain, and the others either don't name the grade or describe it two ways. Our guide to full-grain leather explains why that matters. Last, read the terms. Warranties here run from none stated to lifetime, and returns from none online to 100 days.
