Hidesign has been manufacturing briefcases since the 1970s. We do not have vintage catalogs for this company to determine the precise date it was manufactured. However, based on my research about the history of this company, the materials used to construct this briefcase amd articles about the age of similar briefcases, it is my opinion this case was manufactured sometime in the 1970s to 1980s.
