File Folder, Gray (PT08409)

I'm very pleased with this document holder. It is just big enough for the docs I need to carry around, not at all bulky, really looks like leather (which it is) and love the deep blue color. I think I will look very stylish pulling this out of a bag to produce paperwork. Very nice product, thanks.

I ordered these folders mostly out of curiosity -- I was lookin for a sturdy folder that I could tuck into my purse/briefcase for carrying writing projects around. I initially did a search for "leather folders" and this one popped up. The price was great; the colors fun, so I thought I'd give it a whirl, trying to imagine what "recycled leather" was.Well, it smells like leather. The outside feels like a cross between leather and paper -- thicker than paper, smooth, great color. Inside, you can see how it's recycled leather. It's as if someone took a lot of leather, ground it up into tiny bits, and then pressed it into the shape of these great envelopes.Bottom line: It's WAY sturdier than paper, great for putting folders that might get some abuse (like my purse), and easily holds at least 20 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. I like the slight leather scent, as well.I plan on ordering these in other colors, which will help organize projects.This product is definitely a win for me.

I was my best friend’s MOH in March, and I wanted to have her whole bridal party along with the important women in her life write her letters, and this was perfect! I looked high & low (I was losing my mind) for something affordable & elegant that would work, & this was it. It’s perfect letter shape (gives just little bit of extra room than your average 8x11), it’s stiff & sturdy so I knew the letters wouldn’t get messed up, & I will look so good as a memoir from her wedding day! So happy I found this🙏🏻

While the material used to make this item is fine, and it seems durable, I find it lacks enough room inside to hold all the documents I wanted to.

I was looking for something to carry in my brief case for the very few papers I need to have with me. Most everything today is in digital form, but nevertheless there are times when I need to carry a few pasges of honest'to'goodness paper. This very thin letter'size leather envelope is exactly what I needed. It is so thin it takes up almost no space. Because it is leather it looks sharp and professional - in contrast with a dog-eared paper folder. The closure is a small silver stud that holds the flap. I really don't think it is required to have such a secure grip, but it works fine, looks good and I like it. I would not hestiate to recommend this product.

The leather envelope-style folder is a beautiful alternative to the bulky and masculine look of the traditional business portfolio. I bought one in a classic ivory to bring with me on interviews to hold copies of my résumé and stash away thank you cards to write after the event. The leather is sturdy and substantial so that it doesn't lose shape and disfigure my papers while it's in my bag.I did have an issue with the fastener coming off. It's a simple fix as long as you don't lose the tiny parts; simply twist the pieces back together and you're good to go. The light colour of the leather makes any flaws and disfigurements on the leather highly apparent, so keep this in mind when choosing a colour. I have a tiny flaw on the surface from what is probably caused by normal purse jostling.I've received compliments from interviewers because recycled leather is such a cool concept! The envelope looks fresh and modern, so take it with you to give yourself a little aesthetic edge.

Stiff and protects papers in a book bag. For those that dislike the metal clasp/knob, it is easily removed by unscrewing it from its base. I was able to unscrew it by hand (without any tool(s)). The stiffness of the flap keeps it closed without the knob, especially when packed in a backpack. Yes, it has a scent but, I don't recall buying any leather product that did not have a smell - shoes, briefcase, coat, etc... I wish they also had a larger size for legal documents.

This broke after only a few uses. I loved the look and feel but the clasp just didn't last long.
