I had been eyeing this bag for several years. I knew it would be top quality, but had to wait to afford it. I am not disappointed. I’d been looking all over for a briefcase, so I have done my research. I also own many quality leather bags and other items. I do not believe there is a better leather briefcase for the value on the market. Superb job!

This is an amazing, high-quality product. You can tell that a lot of time and effort was put into making it. It is definitely better than many other name brands. It was worth every penny. I will definitely be buying from them again.

Overall, everything was excellent except for the highly visible scratches. These scratches typically result from accidental contact with nails, keys, or edges of folders. After approximately a month of use, the item appears weathered look both internally and externally, akin to a warrior who has endured battles.
The craftsmanship and accessories are of high quality, and the size is suitable for individuals with a stature of 1.8 meters. Additionally, the item has a great touch and feel.

Just buy it and see for yourself.
This is one of the impulse buying that I did that I will not ever regret.
I wanted to purchase the TOGO version but it was not available at that time.
But, I am very satisfied with this one. It just looks and smells top-notch luxury leather.
I got a lot of compliments from it.

I am a bit disappointed in the 'outsourcing' of the manufacturing. I get that major houses outsource their manufacturing, however, most high end leather is still made in either Italy or France. In this case, Mr. Yilmaz has all of his manufacturing done in Turkey. I am disappointed. It does not mean that the quality is any less, rather that lower wages are being paid to makers than would be if the manufacturing was in the US. I purchased a briefcase from Pegai to support local, not buy from a major house, get full grain leather expecting it to be made in the US, where Mr.Yilmaz is. I see now that everything is made in Turkey. Despite the work being overseen by Mr. Yilmaz's family, I wanted to go to a lesser known manufacturer that paid fair wages for quality - and not maximize corporate profit through off-shore manufacturing. I don't see their advertising as being entirely truthful on their part, and when asked about it, there was no response other than the manufacturing is overseen by Mr. Yilmaz's father and brother in Turkey with quality check in Dallas before shipping out. There was no response about ethical manufacturing and outsourcing.
Now I know how he is paying for his videos, which provides the majority of his advertising. Disappointing that the almighty dollar reigns supreme.
Hi, David! Thank you so much for your review! We just wanted to clarify a few things you mentioned in your review.
Our Turkish workshop is proudly showcased across our videos and website, highlighting our in-house craftsmanship. You may see these in the product listings under 'Shipping Information', through our 'Inside PEGAI' page which you can see in the upper menu, or through our social media channels (you may watch this video posted a few years ago, or you may also watch or check our other social media posts): https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjOWgfjNZi/
Our artisans, primarily women, are the best-paid in Turkey's leather industry, reflecting our commitment to fair pay and gender equality. We've nurtured this team, providing training and opportunities that have resulted in exquisite bags, even surprising Spanish craftspeople with their quality. This achievement took six years, and we continue to receive interest from skilled artisans wanting to join us due to our above-industry wages.
We aim to offer a unique leather craft experience at an accessible price, without compromising on the welfare of our artisans. We could outsource to cheaper manufacturers abroad, but we prioritize quality, respect, and fairness over cost-cutting. This may not maximize profits, but it ensures a product we're proud of and helps us sleep at night. We hope this helps, but please let us know if we can explain this further! Thank you so much!

If you are wondering if you should buy Pegai, just do it! The quality and workmanship are impeccable, very good material so much so that I feel sorry using it. To top it off, the customer service is top notch too! I hope Pegai can continue this standard and to bring value to the consumers.

Got the briefcase a couple of weeks back, and the presentation is top-notch. Luxuriuous box, velvet cover, heavy leather smell. Almost perfect.
But:
1. Zipper always jams on one tooth, strange how it went through the QA.
2. Dents on sides from both handles are still visible on leather. Thought they would "heal" themselves somehow.
Both are not a big deal, but killed the overhyped excitement somehow.
