LOVE 41
Our hope is that you’ll be proud of your bag because of the compliments you get and how long it lasts. But our deeper hope is that you join our community of those nurturing the vulnerable and loving the unloved. We do more than just quality leather bags; we do quality in all areas of our business.
Our purpose is not to change the world by loving orphans, single moms and ex-prisoners one at a time. It’s to work with a Love 41 community/family of loving and nurturing people to do it. If you want to but you’re not sure how, then join us on Facebook or sign up for our newsletter to learn more. We’ll help you get plugged in.
Read MoreThe high-quality materials used in this leather portfolio make it worth the investment. The full grain leather is extremely tough and water-resistant, while the pigskin lining is even stronger than the cowhide used for the outer layer. The German industrial marine grade polyester thread is extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear. The stitching is done in such a way that avoids any damage or tearing to the leather. Think about the number of great first impressions you'll make carrying this portfolio.
---Imagine the cow is killed and skinned. Imagine that... Now the thick hide goes to the tannery, but it's so thick that the tannery splits it in half, the top from the bottom, and now has two hides to sell. The top hide has all of the grain on it (Full Grain). All of the real tough and water resistant dense fibers. Grain is to a hide of leather what shingles are to a roof. Leather portfolios and padfolios made with this leather will last at least a few generations. And we use thick full grain leather. Thicker than boot leather.
---The bottom half is a hide called Split or Genuine leather. It dries out quickly and stains easily because the protective layer of grain is gone. Low quality leather padfolio makers will stick some lipstick on that leather and sell you a nice and pretty leather portfolio tomorrow.
---We glue and sew pigskin lining to the back of that already tough full grain leather. And pigskin is stronger than cowskin. This makes our leather portfolios twice as strong as a typical full grain leather portfolio.
---We sew our leather portfolio with an extremely strong German industrial marine grade polyester that 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. And our thread for the padfolio is the thick double ought version.
---A sewing machine is actually a perforation machine. If the needle holes are too close together, then the leather of the portfolio will tear like a perforated piece of paper. So, we sew at no more than five stitches per inch, which gets the holes further apart from each other on the padfolio.
---The side that holds the paper is only sewn on the right and bottom sides of the portfolio. It's designed to slide in a typical 8 ½ x 11 letter size, European A4 notepad from above or a spiral notebook from the side since that flap is sewn only on two sides.
---This leather portfolio is built with just one solid piece of leather to reduce seams. This is because seams are where, if there's going to be a problem, it will begin there. Yes, we took every detail into account to make this sleek notebook holder perfect.
Great product! It was just as expected from Saddleback Leather!

Medium fits the legal pads and 8 1/2 x 11” pads. Solid too. Really nice. People talk about it. It should last forever.

I purchased one of these for myself, and have since purchased two others as gifts for clients, and my boss decided he wanted one after he saw mine. Love it

I use the notepad everyday from meetings to conferences and visits. It is big enough to fit an A4 spiral notepad on the right side, an iPad (no cover) on the left side + business cards + 6-10 sheets of documents. You can actually fit 2 pens in: 1 in the pen holder, the 2nd attached by it's clip below the 1st pen. It is made of THICK leather and unlikely to break in the next 100-150 years of use. Even full the portfolio won't look crowded; it is heavy though even when empty, you won't like carrying it together with a laptop. It smells amazing! In chestnut it looks more professional than any black notebook or iPad cover. You will get compliments, all the time. Beware if you are in Europe, import fees (customs) will be extremely high (up to 25% of the object + shipping charges price).

I love my medium notepad holder, in this day when all things Digital take over the boardroom I get more compliments on my pad holder than anyone gets on their Tablet cover. My Pad holder works great for standing up to take notes and lays perfectly flat on any surface. I hope my kids fight over it when I’m gone.
