ABSTRACT:
A briefcase includes a body portion defining a receptacle and having an open top, a flap formed of a pliable material and extending over the open top for closing the same, a handle and an anchoring means at each end of the handle for securing the handle to the flap. A backup plate is mounted in the flap and extends over substantially the entire area thereof and is formed of a metallic material which is relatively stiffer than the material forming the flap. A sheath covers each end of the backup plate and is disposed between the backup plate and the flap to protect the flap from wear. Strap anchors are disposed at each end of the body portion and are formed of a pliable material. Each strap anchor includes an upper leaf portion attached to the body portion and a lower leaf portion folded back under the upper leaf portion. Hook and nap fastening material are disposed on the contacting surfaces of the upper and lower leaf portions respectively.
