Leather Business Portfolio with Luxury Pen Business Personal Organiser Folder Full Grain Leather padfolio by KomalC (Buffalo Distressed Tan)

Writing this review on the day of delivery (will update if anything stated below changes). Currently, I am extremely impressed based off of what I see and smell (yes, it's real leather).Likes:1. Craftsmanship, it's amazing, the leather feels and smells good. Looking at the stitching it's uniform and meticulous at every angle. As can be expected of leather REAL leather products, the portfolio is a little stiff. Although, the craftsman also tells you about this aspect in a personally signed letter, with care instructions. As I would expect, the leather will soften overtime and build memory and character. I do not see any concerns that would immediately stand out to me. Color is amazing, and I can also fit my standard legal pad inside. Also...the pen included is surprisingly good quality. Including the pen alone would normally count as an additional 30-40$ but nah, its a bonus.2.) Packaging. It arrived in a protective cloth bag that would easily add to the "gift" aspect of this product.Dislikes:*Currently none, I have the care instructions and I will see how this portfolio preforms over the next couple of weeks. If anything pops up during this time I will include it here.

There are plenty of cheap plastic, pleather, vinyl, canvas, and cheap leather versions of this, and I'm sure they all work similarly. The big differences are going to be number and size of pockets and whether they have a snap, zipper, or other enclosure.This doesn't zip, so it's absolutely not weatherproof.However, the feel of it is excellent. It's a beautiful color and has a nice, solid weight to it. I just enjoy holding it and carrying it. If you place value on that sort of thing, I recommend it. Otherwise, get something for less than half the price and it'll work just as well.

I use this thing every. single. day. It fits standard paper pads (like you'd find at a US Staples or Office Max store) and the leather, stitching, and worksmanship on this thing is unreal. Leather is soft, weathers incredibly well, and the interior pen holder holds most pens (I actually use one of KomalC's pen carriers so I often don't use this feature, but it does fit a Lamy Logo pen quite nicely to those that were wondering). The maker's mark is tasteful, muted, and simple -- none of that Micheal Kors 'Lemme splash my logo on every available inch of your thing' -- which was one of the chief reasons I went looking at this thing in the first place.The only drawback is with the paper pocket. I am looking to find a local leatherworker who can make the necessary changes, but the little strap with the button on it is too short to accommodate a standard 8.5x11 piece of paper when buttoned (it will crinkle the protruding end of the paper and be unable to button). I've worked around this by simply using a binder clip to crease the strap further out so I can keep paper in the pocket (though I cannot button). The strap needs to be about a half inch longer and it'd be perfect.In short: for the price, you aren't going to find a better padfolio, and it looks awesome when paired with other KomalC products -- I've got one of their Bags and a pen case.

Komal's distressed padfolio is nothing short of perfection. I read previous reviews about inner snap being slightly short. Suffice it to say, that is no longer an issue. Read previous reviews about logo being on outer padfolio. Again, no longer an issue. Here is the increasingly rare seller who actually "listens" to his customers and makes product adjustments accordingly. The product I received needs no adjustments. It's top notch across the board. Beautiful, functional, affordable and the customer service is clearly unbeatable. This seller, and his products, deserve five stars x five. For the record, I also have Komal's distressed messenger bag. Putting my gift list together for Christmas. Everyone will be getting a leather good from Kamal for there are few things I've seen that compare, if any. In short, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Komal's leather pieces exceed even the highest expectations (while turning heads and impressing all who see them). A rare online win! Thanks, Komal, for your exquisite work and your commitment to every customer's satisfaction. You and your products are rare gems. Keep up the great work. It's genuinely appreciated, as are you.

I’m very pleased with the quality, functionality and look of this portfolio. It’s exactly what is was hoping it would be. Packaging was superb and I would purchase this item again. Just barely fits in my Wenger laptop bag with my 14” MacBook Pro. (It’s considerably larger than the laptop).

If you’re like I am, you’ve been searching for the right one. Have probably had one from Office Depot or Walmart and just want something that’s quality and gives a presence when you use it. This is the one, I don’t write allot of reviews but I had too with this one. It’s crafted in a way that you can feel the quality and see the time put into it. I wanted something nice. I was willing to spend more. I had more expensive ones in my hand. This one still wins. Holds my iPad with a keyboard case and still has plenty of room. It does not have a million pockets, and that makes it look even better. It’s simple, fashioned (looks awesome), durable, quality work. The pen it comes with is nice, the pen holder has plenty of room as well as the clear pocket for cards or id. All around this is the one. You will not beat this for under $100, much less $55. Cannot recommend enough.

I bought this ad a gift for my son-in-law. He wanted a rustic padfolio. When opened, you could smell that amazing leather smell. He said this is much nicer than I expected from Amazon.. Sorry Amazon, his words not mine! Perfect for the price!

Really like this mainly due to being full grain. I work in the desert and it has held up well in the environment. Not as pretty as a prior portfolio - top grain, but the top grain item did not last one year. This has only gotten better looking with age.
