Never recieved the order and no help from Galen

I've had to do all the calling and tracing of this package. I provided you with proof it did not go to my house and you did nothing. Customer service has been poor. The only contact I have with you is requests for reviews and ads for items in your store.
I at least know where my package it now, as you noted 28 days later but I still have no access to it as the homeowner who did get the package and reported it to Fedex, and then Fedex never picked up so she brought it down to my house and left it with workmen.
As you can see the package is not on my porch with the red plaid mat but on the porch with the black mat. Galen had this info but still did nothing.

It's bigger but is it big enough?

I purchased this expanded version hoping for heaps of space. I found that this version is still a bit small so I stuffed extra notebooks and pens etc inside to help the leather stretch to it's full potential and that has helped lots. (and it stretches quickly). I'm not fond of the larger straps for pens??? in (three of them - one large(r) than the other two) They don't hold any of my fountain pens firmly without using the clip to hold them in place. I did move the lovely fountain pen insert over to my writers box. All in all... a beautiful piece of workmanship but I wish the inside was a little more expanded than this version and the left side was more customizable. For style... it's a win their leather is gorgeously soft!!!

Love this expansi cover for my sketchbook!

This is my second zipped cover. First was B5 for my daily journal, and I love it, but it was a bit narrow for my journal and fountain pens. So now I got the A5 wide expansi for my spiral sketchbook (8 x 5.5”), and it’s perfect! I love the ocean blue color and everything else about this. Spiral is no problem with the deeper depth. Pens, pencils, and such fit well. I’m so glad I tried it. For reference this is a Strathmore spiral “visual journal” sketchbook I’ve got in here with a cover I collaged. My 8 x 6 sketchbook also fits into this fine. I look forward to taking this out to sketch.

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.

Galen Leather Products

I can find no words to describe how happy I am with Galen Leather. Their Leather products are perfect and their service second to none. I would recommend them all day long.

Fantastic as always

Loved the regular zipfolio so much that I decided to get a second one with some added room! Regular size is good for work/meetings/etc. The larger one is good for travel/creative writing because of the extra room. Yet again- extremely good quality. Everything I’ve bought from Galen so far is outstanding.
