From the catalogue: &#8220;Though chronically out of work, freelancers nonetheless wish to appear employable, and there&#8217;s nothing like a briefcase for conveying the message. Still, a hard-shelled encumbrance would seriously undermine one&#8217;s spontaneity. Like freelancers themselves, our Freelance Briefcase works when it has to and plays when it doesn&#8217;t. Its multiple compartments\u2013one zippered, four open\u2013can conceal files, pencils, sketchpads, tape recorder; but when the assignment&#8217;s done, they issue forth granola bars, paperback mysteries, even a pair of actual briefs (for the extemporaneous overnighter). An office-on-a-strap for men and women who believe that imagination opens more doors than a manicured resume.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
