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.
Looking for a notepad holder that will last a lifetime and be equally useful and good looking the whole time? Score yourself one of these. I'm currently in job search mode and going to several interviews a week. I decided I should upgrade my folder (aka, plastic resume holder) to give a better cleaner presentation for myself and to use in meetings when I find another job. I am BLOWN AWAY at how beautifully crafted this notepad is. Practical (I'm an engineer), well designed, high quality, and excellent looks define this item. This is build like a brick blank house. I'm confident it will last for a very long time.

It is Brilliant! The pigskin lining feels great and holds documents securely in the pockets. It keeps everything I need for meetings including a place to hold business cards. Could not be happier!

This is well made, and also well designed. By this I mean that the build (no surprise) is strong, etc, but also that the design works well. The large pockets on the left hold papers, etc. and the right slot works for either top writing pad or side hinge pad or calendar (or more papers, etc.). I can even fit my Macbook 12 in on either side. Notebook holder lays flat when open. And, the Walnut color is great! I've long felt that the Tobacco is too light, Dark Coffee Brown too homogeneously dark (leather looses it character). Walnut is right between, and beautiful.

Love my small leather notebooks. I now have a brown one and a black one. I love it that I can put two pads of paper in it; one on each side. At first the notebooks are pretty stiff, but after few days got the notebooks to close easily. Just had my name printed on both notebooks in the gold. Love them, excellent quality.

Glad to see you moved the pen holder, had to cut mine off in order to get the pad to close.
