Excellent Expansi Portfolio

My expansi portfolio is wonderful. Holds lots of pens and my Rhodia webbook journal. Beautifully made and stitching is wonderful. Can’t say enough good things about Galen Leather goods! Excellent experience

Best purchase of the season

I love this expansion folio! I love the Ocean Blue leather. Beautifully constructed, and everything fits inside! Perfect for carrying around big books and big pens.

Perfect

Love this. Had the smaller one and it was too tight for an iPad mini and all the other stuff in it, but this one? Perfect. Wonderful leather, good size, tough zippers, it all is great. Pricey, yes, but worth the investment. For amyone needing a smaller portfolio that can also pack a mini, this is the one. Art, business, diary, whatever. Highly recommended.

So glad I got it!

Honestly, I think the pictures do not do it justice just how beautiful this leather is! Fits my thick journal and all my favourite fountain pens. Such a treasure! Even the box it comes in is exquisite. Will definitely buy from Galen Leather again! Loved the little extras that came in the parcel too ;)

Expansi-Folio Leather Wide A5 Zip Folio - C.H. Ocean Blue

A simple but innovative improvement on the smaller version. Excellent quality, which is to be expected of Galen Leather. Really like the ability to carry a thicker notebook, or two thin versions. A satisfying purchase.

Beautiful Forest Green

I absolutely love this company~ They do so many extras and the quality of their products, top shelf! From a beautiful leather piece to all the extra goodies, so refreshing to order from Galen Leather! I put the beautiful postcards in my planners, drink the yummy tea and coffee, and enjoy my leather covers, pouches, etc. I recommend them and I returned to them before any other company when I’m looking for a good leather product, even non-leather since I just bought a beautiful pen holder.

A must-purchase for meetings

I already had the leather folio in the CH smoky grey color and that was great. But the expansi is even better - I have to attend a lot of meetings, and I can fit both of my phones (yes, I have to carry two phones), a thick A5 notebook, and several pens and cables. I can also put business cards and credit cards inside, so no need to carry a purse when I have the expansi. The CH Ocean Blue is gorgeous (and matches the Tote I purchased!).

Amazing! Simply amazing!

My favorite new product from this company! The folio is strongly made with an impressive zipper quality and brilliant green color. It holds all the things I need in a day when away from my home office. Can’t recommend enough!

My Favourite Thing

This folio is exactly what I needed. The leather is exquisite - I cannot wait until it ages, it will be even more spectacular.

I now bring this with me everywhere I go, and it stays with me at home on the sofa if I feel like drawing. I have put a Moleskine Daily Diary in it for next year (but I have already started drawing in the extra spaces) - it fits perfectly!

I can't thank you enough for the folio, the evil eye charm, coffee and postcard. Love it all thank you so very much.
