When dressing for work, a stylish briefcase can make as much of a style statement for a man as a well coordinated purse does for a woman.

Most office-goers carry a simple black or brown suitcase for their documents, but if you really want to stand apart, pick up a case with a never-out-of-style snake or crocodile print.

These combine good looks with utility, and usually have enough space for your laptop and other important paperwork.

A bag like the one in the picture could cost you about Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 and go up to Rs 2,500 depending on the brand and quality of leather.
