I really love this piece of leather. It is beautifully made and my daily companion for work, making notes, meetings, etc. I only wish there were more slots for pens somehow, for me personally 3-4 would be ideal. But honestly, I had not expected it would work so well, and fit so well in my daily workflow! Craftmanship is outstanding,
Beautiful piece that has worn wonderfully since I started carrying it. I wish there were some way to include a notebook instead of a notepad in this, but truthfully, it is just as beautiful as it looks to be in the pictures. I've been using it fairly regularly since purchasing it and have no regrets.
Two thing I would have liked: a core to the flap so it is stiffer. Right now the flap seems too limp and makes it hard to pop open the snaps.
2nd would be to add about 1/2" extra material to the fold, so that you can slip a ultraportable notebook inside. Right now I cannot put my 13" HP Elitebook inside and close the snaps.
**FYI,
For the person who asked about leather type, I can say that it is avg. 1.6mm thick soft leather, so maybe top-grain. I see some minor imperfections, but since I got black, can't tell for sure if it is full-grain or top-grain.
I've bought several Allegory products from MD/D and have not been disappointed. This A4 portfolio in cognac color is beautiful and durable. Looking forward to using it every day. Well worth its value considering I paid a bit more for a subpar quality Office Depot portfolio because I needed one in an emergency. That's the last time I buy a faux leather one from there.
vinswissDon't understand your issue. Leather is heavy when backed to give it reliable form, also vegetable tanned leather is soft to the touch, so of course it does scratch/patina easily. The first scratches suck but then the leather acquires that travelled companion look as you care for it with leather cream and scratches fade into a weathered patina. If the leather was chrome-tanned, it would be tougher but also look more fake and not have the soft feel. Vegetable tanned leather is exactly what I want.
I don't like this portfolio! Each of the pockets seems to have no easily recognized purpose, but even worse, the snaps on the cover are SO FIRM that it's difficult to open and close without using two hands with elbow grease added in! It's not easy, no female could use it for certain, PLUS... I received a BLACK notebook rather than the BROWN one that I'd ordered. Is there any way to correct this error? I would return this thing if I had the order slip, packaging, and address label to send it to! I would NOT recommend this portfolio!!!
