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.

Beautiful leather

This looks like it will last forever. I must say, though, the advertisement in the journal picture was disappointing - that the leather note book showed in the book was perfect for the journal, but the plain one was just plain.

LOVE

This folder is excellent for holding my everyday essentials AND my iPad mini. I use this with a pocket knife, flashlight, and pen in the loops, I usually take out the pen holder and put a rite in the rain notebook in that pocket, then my iPad mini goes on the other side. Perfect for a day out and about or a trip. The quality is amazing, highly recommend!!!! This folio will outlast me!

The perfect fit!

I have several of the regular sized zip folios but my Midori page a day was always a bit of a tight fit once I'd started using it ... this folio seems made for it and, as always, Galen quality is the best. Beautiful colour, such excellent quality materials, and the design is so very clever.

Much improved folio

I have used Galen A5 folios for a number of years and find them excellent. The only flaw has been that they were not quite deep enough - with a notebook in place, I was afraid I was compressing the pens too much. These new deeper folios solve that. They can take a full load of pens, as well as a thick notebook like the Leuchtturm with 120 gsm paper, or Galen's own Tomoe River notebook. They take up more space when travelling, but it's worth it.

The Hobonichi 5 year calendar fits!

That is the main reason for buying this: to store my Hobonichi 5 year calendar. It fits! I am happy!

Birthday present

Bought this for my wife who loves fountain pens and so likes to take care and protect her pens. This also is a lovely presentation sleeve. Well made and arrived very promptly

The quality is excellent and the prices are fair.

I am a great fan of Galen Leather and has purchased a long list of your products over the years. The quality is excellent and the prices are fair. Your success is earned. The Expansi-Folio Leather Wide A5 is perhaps my best buy from Galen Leather. I already have the tighter version, which in fact was my first buy from you. The wide Zip Folio is the answer to a clear need: A portfolio that accepts fat notebooks. I prefer notebooks from Tomoe River in A5 with 368 pages. At last I have a portfolio that carries both my pens and my daily notebook. As always: It looks great and will last for many years to come.
