VA:APEN - Locked & Loaded Leather Briefcase
Check out the Brady Bunch of EDC gear and tech the VA:APEN briefcase can lock and load inside its hardshell leather exterior. The bag, simple black, yet still bold in design, comes will all the standard storage prerequisites - space, sleeves, and pockets for your laptop, papers, and phone - and adds to them a smart pocket for wireless mobile charging, plus a VA:PEN unique and standout feature: an interior Meshbolt plate.
The VA:APEN Meshbolt plate inserts inside the briefcase's cache, giving everyday carriers a space to secure and bolt down items they'd prefer not to have bouncing around in there during a commute or other travel. This includes tools, IT gadgets and instruments, and concealed carry items. The Meshbolt plate is covered in slots best suited to hold M4 bolts and Quad Lock mounts (both of which you'll supply and apply yourself). The space between the slots is 1/2", but you can cut / drill them to size as needed, as well as 3D print specialized securing hardware.
The VA:APEN case has a genuine cowhide leather exterior, with Japanese YKK zippers, and German Fidlock buckles. You can pledge for a VA:APEN briefcase of your own here on IndieGoGo. The company is offering backers a $250 discount on VA:APEN's eventual lock & load retail price, with briefcase shipments expected to begin in March 2019.
