Great Product

Bought this a few weeks ago. Great product. I use it daily. Keeps looking better with each day of use. I am now ordering the Medium Leather Portfolio for days I don’t need to carry my Mac or iPad. Can’t wait for Christmas to buy the Barrister Bag!

Large Leather portfolio

This portfolio is gorgeous. It makes a very positive impression when I pulled it out at I meeting I recently added. The craftsmanship is top notch. The pigskin liner is fantastic. I got the dark coffee one to match my barrister briefcase. When I pulled out my portfolio at the meeting, the impression I gave off was that I am a serious person here to have a serious discussion, so don't come at me with some B.S. That is a great first impression to make. Thank you Saddleback for manufacturing such wonderful, robust, top shelf products. I will definitely purchase more items from your company. Happy Holidays.

Very Nice

This portfolio is very nice and high quality. It is a bit heavier than my last, but I expected that due to the thick leather. That is not a downside as it makes it a lot tougher. This should last a very long time.

Great for using Monarch-sized FranklinCovey filler

I was going to get the (new to me) SBL 7-ring binder and fill it with FranklinCovey products. All told, it would've been over $200. I had occasion to open my large portfolio and remembered that FC has both ring-binder fillers and wire-bound fillers. I have an older model portfolio, with a large sleeve on the right side. It holds my wire-bound planner just great! If you get the wire-bound, just to let you know you get a thin notebook for each month, with 2 pages per day. Also a page-finder meant for wire-bound, and an 8.5 x 11 Address/Phonebook. (Sorry so long, but I'm a huge fan of both SBL & FC, so to use them together tickles me to death!)

The design of the leather portfolio is simple, but includes features that make it perfect for transporting work essentials.

The Design of the Leather Portfolio

This large leather portfolio nicely fits a 13" MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, any size iPad Pro and normal file folders in the left side pocket. It was designed for 8 ½ x 11 letter size or European A4 notepad on the right side from above or a spiral notebook from the side since that flap is sewn only on two sides. It comes with two pen holders designed to fit a wide range of thickness of pens or Apple Pencil securely. And the leather padfolio was made with no breakable parts. The closure is just a strap and a butterfly slot.

Simple Leather Portfolios

This Large Leather Portfolio is simple, but a dozen prototypes and many more years poured into the design to make it just right. Every detail was considered. This one is hard to beat if you are looking for a large leather portfolio. The Leather Portfolio is perfect for those who need a simple and professional way to transport their work essentials. We create our portfolio with simple features. It is durable, has everything you need, and looks as classy as a portfolio can look.

Your Leather Portfolio Creates a Great First Impression

When you carry this large leather portfolio, people will notice. You are going to make a great first impression and be able to approach any situation with confidence. This investment will last for years and continue to look great. These leather portfolios are a simple, professional, and elegant way to transport your work essentials.

This doesn't look like a cheap portfolio you purchased at the department store. Whether you are a president, doctor, lawyer, or work in the service industry, these leather portfolios will reveal your class to anyone you come in contact with.

Versatile-

The side that holds the paper is only sewn on the right and bottom sides. The left and top are open for sliding in a pad of paper from the top or a spiral book oriented pad of paper from the left side.

One Piece Body-

It's built with just one solid piece of leather to reduce seams because seams are where, if there's going to be a problem, it'll fall apart. This leather portfolio will stay together and always work correctly, even 100 years in the future. We thought of every detail to determine how to create the best large portfolio.

Stitching-

We sew this leather portfolio at only five stitches per inch, so there will be more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes, so a tear doesn't have a place to start. The padfolio is designed to slide in 8 ½ x 11 letter size pads of paper or European A4 notepads from above or the side.

The Materials in our Leather Portfolios

This portfolio is made with full grain leather, which is thicker and more water resistant than other types of leather. It is also sewn with an industrial UV-resistant thread to ensure that it is durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the lining is made of smooth pigskin for a sleek look and feel, and the pen holder on each side is sewn in for added durability.

Beyond Genuine Leather, Full Grain Leather

We only use full grain to make this large leather portfolio, and it's thicker than boot leather. Full grain leather is essential since the grain is the toughest and most water resistant part of the leather. Low quality leather portfolio companies shave off the top of the hide to get rid of the scars and blemishes so they don't have to cut around them and throw all of that leather in the trash.

In doing so, these types of businesses shave off the grain. That's like shaving the shingles off of your roof. They can still sell them as genuine leather portfolios, or real leather, even if it is missing the best part and won't last. Great marketing will get a business a customer, and if it is made of cheap material, they will make more money. But our customers know better. We will not make a cheap leather product; we will continue making long-lasting full-grain leather designs.

Top Grain Leather Portfolio, Genuine Leather, or Bonded Leather?

We don't use top grain or genuine leather in our collection of leather designs because it's not as strong as full grain. Those terms are just marketing ploys to get people to think they are getting something special when in reality it is lower quality than full grain leather portfolios. And bonded leather is just scrap leather glued and pressed together and should be avoided at all costs. It's not going to last, it's not going to look good, and it will probably fall apart on you when you absolutely need it the most.

The lining of our Leather Portfolios

We lined this high quality leather portfolio with smooth pigskin so it lasts a long, long time and so papers slide smoothly in and out. And the pigskin is stronger than the cowskin. So when you make this combination, you end up with a large portfolio that looks fantastic, feels great, works perfectly, and will last for decades.

Thread-

We sew our leather portfolio with an extremely strong UV resistant industrial marine grade polyester that just won't fall apart or wear away easily. They use this German thread when it just has to last, or someone could die. Like for parachutes and sails on ships.

An Elegant Pen Holder

A pen holder on each side also looks just as elegant as the portfolio itself. The pen holders are sewn in a secure and convenient location with the same UV resistant thread, so they will be easy to access your pens and last a long time too.

Pockets That Work Great as a Business Card Holder

There are three smaller pockets inside that make a perfect business card holder with easy access. So when you need to grab a business card for a customer or client, it is right there. Yes, we took everything into account.

It Comes in Four Colors

Pick your color. You can get this in classic tobacco leather, dark coffee brown, chestnut, and black. The tobacco is a lighter brown and has more of that vintage look to it, while the chestnut is reddish-brown and has a more modern look. Dark coffee brown is.... dark brown like coffee. Black is for the professional that needs a clean, simple look.

Why You Want This Leather Portfolio

This leather portfolio is made with the best materials and construction to ensure that it lasts for years. The pigskin lining ensures that papers and important documents slide in and out smoothly. Plus, there are pen holders on each side, so you'll always have a writing instrument at hand with easy access.
