Beautiful padfolio that isn’t quite fit for modern usage and doesn’t live up to the premium price.PROSBeautiful looking, leather cover, leather smell, exterior leather smooth not grainy, black color is as advertised, overall quality, zipper quality and function, no exterior branding, includes nice non-branded cream-colored pad of paper.CONSHigher price, no phone holder, no zippered interior pocket, no strap to secure item in largest pocket, largest pocket only expands on top, no padding in largest pocket, manila folder does not fit in largest pocket even when empty (tab sticks out and you can’t zip it shut), smaller pocket doesn’t expand (meant for flat object like paper rather than the phone that is shown), smaller pocket can hold an 8 1/2 x 11 paper but the paper won’t slide in and out smoothly without wrinkling, pen holder only works with thin pens, only one pen holder, pad of paper is not 8 1/2 x 11 as advertised (unusual dimensions that are the width of A4 but the length of 11), few soft or premium materials inside.I want to love this, but I don’t. And for a premium price, I expect it to function well. It lacks some basic design features inside. I don’t expect all of the missing items on the CONS list, or even all of the shortcomings on the list to be better, but I would expect it to have some utility. It simply doesn’t hold much and makes for a frustrating experience.Don’t monogram in case you need to return. You can monogram anywhere after the purchase.

Habe sie mir in klassischem schwarz bestellt, sehr edel, weiches Leder, sehr gute Verarbeitung. Wer etwas Wert auf Auftreten und Stil legt, ist damit sehr gut bedient. Sehr empfehlenswert 👍🏻

love this. gave it as a gift.very durable. soft. beautiful. high quality.only comments I got that wasn't perfect was that they wish it had a cover to protect the leather (hes in construction and they get dusty/dirty in the field), some sort of band to make it easier to carry (I guess they can get tossed around a bit?) &/or a larger pocket for a bigger ipad/tablet.they said it was TOO nice to bring to job sites.if your in an office it's perfect as is!!

Can’t hold much in it, but I wanted it slim. So I got what I wanted. Good leather. Zipper works great. Business card holders aren’t the best, that’s all

Si no le vas a meter nada, está excelente, pero a la primer pluma que le metes se ralla toda.

The last Padfolio I owned lasted 15 years, living up to the Samsonite name...the zipper broke after 5. I paid half the price for that one and was disappointed they discontinued that design. Eventually I found this Gem, and boy it smells of quality...literally! The leather feel and aroma is out of this world. The zipper is a beefier design, adding a hint of ruggedness. It is simple, elegant but not too elegant. Everything,...the feel, the look, the craftsmanship is almost too good, hell it's just a portfolio. As with anything made with care using quality materials, you pay for it. However this will be the last one I will ever need.

This is a finely crafted Portfolio. The quality of the leather is first class and should not be confused with cheaper options. This really fits the old saying, “you get what you pay for” and this piece of Italian craftsmanship is worth every penn.

I am an attorney and needed a new folio to carry around and take with me to meetings and such when I do not have to carry a lot of documents. I did a lot of research and liked the Maruse Leather Padfolio the best and my wife got it for me as a Christmas gift. Been using it for a few days now and am very impressed.The leather feels top quality, and has a great leather smell (but very light so its not obvious). The workmanship is flawless. Even the notepad that comes inside looks and feels premium. I was initially concerned about the pen holder on the side because it did not fit slightly larger pens (like a Mont Blanc). However, after gently forcing the pen the leather stretched a bit and I am able to fit it smoothly. It fits tight so I do not have to worry about the pen falling out.Overall I am very impressed and pleased with this folio. It presents a very professional appearance at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

I bought this portfolio for an interview and I am very pleased with the quality and appearance. It is simple, clean, elegant, and classy. I love that it can accommodate either a flip notebook like a regular padfolio or a sidebound notebook if that's your style. The leather is soft with low-profile class and quality. I'm the kind of person that tends to bring too much with me - if there are pockets to fill, you bet I'll find extra pens or notebooks or whatever to fill them with - and I like that this portfolio has just enough pockets for the essentials. The zipper is smooth and solid construction, and the stitching and materials are the of equal quality. I was apprehensive about spending so much on a portfolio without first being able to put my hands on it, but I am so glad I did. I have no doubt that this portfolio will add a level of subtle class and professional bearing to any first impression for anyone carrying it. I am very happy with my decision to go with this portfolio!
