Gallaway-Leather-Padfolio-Portfolio, Folder-Slim-Notebook, Note-Pad-Holder, Desk-Accessories, Brown

I got it to take to an interview, looks so nice and received many compliments. Functional and sturdy. I now use it everyday. Good value, good space. I can fit a note pad and a few lose papers.

I recently acquired the GALLAWAY LEATHER Padfolio Portfolio Folder, and it has proven to be an excellent addition to my professional gear. Designed for organization and efficiency, this slim portfolio folio is both practical and stylish, perfect for the modern professional.The first thing I noticed about this padfolio is the quality of the leather. It's soft to the touch, yet durable, giving off an immediate impression of high-end craftsmanship. The stitching is neat and precise, adding to its sophisticated look. The slim design is particularly appealing as it's sleek and not bulky, making it easy to carry to meetings or interviews.Inside, the padfolio is well-organized with dedicated slots and pockets for business cards, a pen, and other essentials. The inclusion of a holder for a letter-sized notepad is especially useful for taking notes on the go. Everything stays secure and easily accessible, which is crucial when you need to make a good impression in a professional setting.Another aspect I appreciate is the versatility of this padfolio. It's suitable for a variety of professionals, from business executives to creatives. Whether you're presenting a project or jotting down ideas, it adds a touch of professionalism and keeps your essentials neatly organized.In terms of functionality, it meets all the expectations. The padfolio opens and closes smoothly, and the pockets are sized appropriately, neither too tight nor too loose. This careful attention to detail is evident and appreciated.

I'm surprised, I was hoping for a proper leather portfolio, but so many of the ones on amazon in the $60 range were just not very good quality looking and made from bottom shelf leather. This one actually owned the PU and explained why they went with it.It comes in a very simple nice and sturdy box that prevents any creasing or damage to the folio, so it won't come damaged.the portfolio itself is clean, simple, and solid looking. Initial impressions on the quality are outstanding. The stitching is perfect, the inner liner is a nice carded felt that feels great. The PU is actually really, really good looking. I went with the standard leather look and honestly, it's really hard to tell by appearance that it's not genuine leather, and the texture feels really nice. The coloring on it is awesome, all the edges are coated so no rough spots, and it has no markings other than "gallaway leather" and their logo debossed on the back bottom. Very classy,There's slots for business cards, the pocket holds both wire and staple bound rhodia A4 (11x3/4 length, not the weird 12 1/2 that they also make) pads easily, as well as standard legal pads. There are two pockets, one behind the pad and one on the left, that are big enough for a few sheets of full size paper (where I'll be keeping copies of my resume and letter of recommendation)The only two complaints I have are minor - the pockets are a little stiff and hard to get paper into, but it will likely relax with time, but I would have liked maybe another pocket in the left edge for paperwork.I think the pen loop should have been elastic. The PU makes it quite firm, so a larger pen like many of my more middle-sized fountain pens don't fit all that well, and thinner pens like ballpoints just seem kind of comically small, though as long as they have a clip, they'll stay put just fine.Closure is a simple strap through a loop - plenty secure, but there's no latch. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone.Honestly, I wouldn't mind spending the $90 that gallaway estimates this folder would cost if made from proper leather, if they made it. But until then, I'm quite happy with this and will definitely recommend it to people.If I have any problems, I will update this. So unless there's an edit after this line, assume all is well.

nice product, looks good

I bought this as a gift for a co-worker and it is a perfect price and the quality was great. It comes in a nice black box so the presentation is also good.

Great professional padfolio. I use this during note-taking, consultations, and everyday filing. The look is great and adds to my style.

This is leather (not faux) and smells like it. It would be a beautiful gift; it has no "price tag" look to it. I plan to use it on an interview to hold my resume and take any notes needed. Very professional. Very chic. I bought the lighter brown/camel color. It's brand new so I cannot attest to it's sturdiness yet -- and I don't plan to use it often -- but it certainly appears to be well crafted. I would imagine that it should hold up about as well as any other leather folder in this style, regardless of brand or cost.

Perfect receptacle for my project novels! Slim enough to fit in my messenger bag without having to cram it in. Sleek and stylish. Groovy baby!
