composed as...
a compact brief-case with the prescribed leather grab-handle, and closing via the unmistakable brass turn-lock - quick, positive, and secure.

Beyond these, some progressive passages:
the bag opens out flat (like a suit-folder) with two contrasting sections:
a main padded compartment for bulky items (a notebook computer) and ...
an expandable pouch for documents.
(Once folded and closed, the gap between is ideal for the daily newspaper and umbrella!)
sub-themes:
a secure zip pocket under the main flap; an open rear panel pocket,
and a pouched organiser panel (for conductor’s baton, palm-recorder...)
while a shoulder-strap (detachable) leaves both hands free for generous gesturing
an enduring piece: the Score has solid leather backing, particularly in the base section...
while all of its separate themes are unified
in being bound in leather around the outer edges
