Suggestions for a Leather Portfolio?

[bluekit]

For work, that is. I write a lot for work, and would like a portfolio with a few slots to store business cards and miscellaneous stuff. I'm picky and have to write on a padded surface (I can't just write on a single sheet of paper on a desk without padding it with a notepad or whatnot, kwim?) so a portfolio will partially serve that purpose as well.


Okay, so here's what I'm looking for: A leather (preferably black) portfolio, with -or- without the zip around, with a pen slot and a few slots for cards.

Any suggestions? Pics/links would be appreciated too!

I'll post more if I see any. Hope this helps

There's actually a wider range available at their site.

Coach, Levenger, and Aspinal of London make nice business leather goods, and See Jane Work has a few pretty folios as well. I went with Aspinal since they have the loveliest shades of pink, but you can't go wrong with any of the shops I linked to.

I have a Coach portfolio that I've been using on an everyday basis for more than three years now. It still looks brand new! That's my suggestion... they come with or without a zipper. Here are the links...

Hope that helps!

That one off eBags is really nice passerby! Looks good in red too.

I've actually been looking for a leather notepad as well for my summer class, but I'll probably just go to Office Depot. or something.

I want one thats refillable with regular 8x11 notepads that you slip in from the side, not the top.

Hi abandoned, what's Office Depot?

 

[Perja]

It's an office supply store, I think (at least around here it is )

Cheers, Perja.

The Coach Outlet usually carries these. They are around $100.

I have a few "leather-like" zip around ones from work that I can send to a few of you if you want one. No charge... They are black.

They have an imprint on them though...but it's free - so PM me if you want. I've got about 5 of them.

thanks for the suggestions! I'm having fun perusing the sites!!

I love the http://81.27.96.58/accessories.asp?CategoryID=11&RangeID=65&StyleID=207&ProductID=271&DesignID=963

Aspinal padfolio with tab!

I'm completely confused when they mention A4 vs. A5 though? Any clue as to the size? ush:

I think that may be Filofax sizing, but that is just a guess.

They have absolutely beautiful things!
