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.

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.

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.
