I had been using an all-leather classic briefcase for years, but work was changing and I had to move to a more travel-friendly briefcase that I could sleeve over the handle of a carry-on roller. So I got myself a Tumi Nylon Organizer Brief. 26132D2. It keeps my tech safe, allows plenty of space for other essentials and gives me convenient (magnetically closing) pockets for direct access. It’s great.

Except that it tips forward!!!

Empty, it does. Even with a 16-inch laptop in the back and very light in the front, the bag has a tendency to tip forward. And this just looks sloppy when I’m meeting someone. I must always find a spot for it to lean against. It’s awkward. And super disappointing.

I’m curious if there are any hacks out there to fix this situation! Please share!!
