What it actually does is keep the case shut in an overhead bin, keep a lid on a table of exhibits, and signal — accurately — that the contents weren't left out for browsing. The hinge is the working feature: it opens the case wide, so documents come out in the order you filed them, not the order gravity chose. One design, carried by men and women alike; the measurements are the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name is the maker's. \u003cem\u003eVendetta\u003c\/em\u003e is Marie Corelli's 1886 novel — a man presumed dead returns under another name to settle his accounts. Corelli was the best-selling novelist of her era. The maker named a locked case after a book about a man keeping his own counsel; we assume that was deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much paper does 2.8 inches hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e A redweld with two or three file folders, or a 15-inch laptop and one folder. It is a document case, not a catalog case; for a trial week's file, see the Korchmar Workhorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the combination be reset?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, on the lock itself; the maker's instructions ship in the box.

Carried daily, it is a briefcase; carried to a closing, it is an argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare.\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable-tanned Vachetta darkens with handling and sun; that is the leather working, not wearing out. Wipe dust with a dry cloth, keep it away from radiators, and condition lightly once a year with a colourless leather cream.
