In this "Adult Field Trip," three members of the GUIDE crew delve into the appeal of luggage items from the popular bag and luggage brand BRIEFING!
Three members of the crew, who have been traveling more often lately, consulted Fukushima, a buyer for Isetan Suitcases at Isetan Shinjuku, in search of fashionable travel items. Fukushima suggested Briefing, saying, "There's a perfect brand for you." We'll introduce suitcases and related items suitable for both domestic and international travel.

Briefing, which started with bags, continues to explore the evolving appeal of luggage.

Briefing was founded in 1998, starting with bags designed in Japan and manufactured in the USA. Initially, it began with just four types of bags, and has since grown into a popular brand with over 100 different styles developed in approximately 30 years, focusing on three main categories: "Bags," "Golf," and "Luggage."

Fukushima: The appeal of Briefing is that it can be set up across categories. We will introduce items that allow you to enjoy your travel style by seamlessly combining them not only with luggage but also with other categories.

Introducing Briefing luggage to choose from based on your travel style.

Tsuchiya recommends "a lightweight model, perfect for domestic travel."

Tsuchiya, who travels frequently within Japan, chose the "H-34F SD VER1.5" suitcase (34L). Despite its stylish design, it's a lightweight model weighing only 3.5kg. The front features a zippered pocket that allows you to insert and remove books and other items diagonally. Furthermore, the handle is adjustable in seven stages, demonstrating a commitment to features that truly address every need.


Fukushima : This lightweight and functional bag is perfect for Tsuchiya-san, who travels around Japan frequently. You can also enjoy coordinating it with a matching bag.

Tsuchiya: It feels incredibly light! It looks bulky, but you'll be surprised when you hold it.


Also featured is the "TR-3 S MW GEN II" (64,900 yen) from Briefing's bag category, a 2-way bag. It can be carried on your back or by hand, and can also be attached to a suitcase.

Fukushima: Because it's lightweight, it's easy to set up and ride. The tires are also quiet and smooth.

Tsuchiya: It creates a sense of unity and elevates your travel style. You look cool walking around in this.

Okada's recommendation: "A suitcase with a gear-like feel that's perfect for camping."

Okada, who often travels by car and goes camping, chose the "2WHEEL CARRY ON CARGO" (35.3L).
Featuring highly abrasion-resistant materials—Poly Cordura on the front and Cordura Air on the sides—this bag combines ruggedness with a premium feel, truly embodying the Briefing brand's signature style. Convenient front pockets and an adjustable main compartment ensure your belongings stay securely in place, even when you have fewer items.


And what Fukushima highly recommends this time is the ease of use of the handle. The handle can be neatly stored in the main body, and there are four grips, so you can carry it from any direction. It is extremely convenient when loading and unloading from a car trunk or moving it around at a campsite.

Fukushima: Having four handles so you can carry it from anywhere is more convenient than you might imagine.

Okada: This is certainly convenient. Having multiple handles is a great help when putting it in the car.


Fukushima: When carried together with the "VIPER LE" shoulder bag (23,100 yen), you can manage your valuables smartly. The coordinated look makes you look stylish even when traveling.

Okada : The iconic red line on the black background gives it a gear-like feel that really appeals to men!

Tashiro's recommendation: "Large capacity & organized storage, a perfect travel companion for overseas trips."

For Tashiro, who frequently travels abroad for business or long-term stays, the large-capacity 98L suitcase "H-98 HD PLUS" was chosen. The matte polycarbonate material with a TSA lock is resistant to scratches and has sufficient thickness to accommodate tall items such as shoes. The opening has an aluminum frame with dividers on both sides. One side can be removed and hung in a room, making it easy to organize even when traveling with frequent hotel changes.


Fukushima: As this brand started with bags, they've paid attention to storage and compartments. You can feel the attention to detail, such as the Briefing logo on the casters. The internal belts are magnetic, which is a nice touch. This is a model that I'd especially like Tashiro-san, who pays attention to detail, to use.

Tashiro: The understated design is exquisite. It's helpful that the partition can be hung in the room.

Furthermore, the packing cubes and the packable Boston bag "PACKABLE BOSTON RC" (20,900 yen) are also suggested as part of the coordinated outfit. The packing cubes come in S, M, and L sizes and are great for organizing clothes and small items, while the packable Boston bag is perfect for when you have extra luggage or as a secondary bag at your destination.


Fukushima: When your storage is organized, it really lifts your spirits, doesn't it? Since the brand started with bags, you can feel the attention to detail in that aspect as well.

Tashiro: The packing cubes come in three different sizes, which is great because you can organize them according to your belongings. The Boston bag doesn't look like it's packable, so it seems like it could be used for everyday use. I'm really interested in all the items you've introduced today.
