Sheila Greenfield recalls her days with a Samsonite alligator briefcase that traveled with her on sales meetings.

Ahh, the days of alligator briefcases in the streets of Miami. I remember those days with so much
pleasure. Even then my briefcase was considered “retro”; even if my alligator high heels were not.
I insisted on wearing hats, to protect my fair skin, and I walked up the avenues in balmy weather
with a confidence only the young sport. In my Samsonite alligator briefcase was all of the literature
and plans for the next sales call, and the alligator pattern was always noticed, always
complimented. I always made the sale! To this day, it sits in my living room, and every time I look
at it, I remember those beautiful sunny days on Miami Beach with a retro Samsonite alligator
briefcase and the warm sun and smell of the sea in every breath. It was an exhilarating time.
