Great Product!

Amazing quality and presentation. Lots of pockets for pens/pencils and business cards.

Perfect and I love it.

I’m a welding inspector who works in the field a lot and I love my folio cover. I was tired of my yearly journals falling apart at the end of the year so I opted to buy a cover from Galen Leather and I am glad I did. It’s ruged with a heavy duty zipper and I love the pen/pencil holders inside. I’ve had my cover for a few months now and there is no sign of fatigue in ANY of the stitching or construction. I absolutely love it.

An excellent companion - both useful and beautiful…

I really enjoy my Galen leather folio. It’s a unique and interesting design, and the quality materials and outstanding workmanship make it a pleasure to use. The folio is quite slim and elegant, though I might prefer slightly more capacity. I have to pack the contents carefully when zipping it up to travel, and usually remove the very clever pen insert for that reason. The folio WILL hold an iPad Mini, just as advertised - but only if removed from any protective case; it’s a very tight fit… An extra 1/4” (65 mm) in thickness would make it better from my point of view, but I’d also add that even when very full the leather seems to make way for the contents, and always zips easily.

I keep several journals and lists using the softcover Cahier notebooks from Moleskine: a work calendar and to-do list, a fishing and boating notebook, family events journal, etc. My new Galen folio is a useful way to keep them all organized in a single place AND a beautiful companion that I am always happy to have around. I’ve heard it said that “a person should own nothing that is not useful or that he/she considers beautiful”, and this Galen Leather folio is BOTH…

My overall rating is DEFINITELY five stars!

6 stars out of 5!

I've had my Crazy Horse Brown zippered folder for 2.5 years now and I use it daily. It is beautifully made and a real pleasure to work with. Everything you need is right there in its own little spot. I carry it around everywhere and most people remark on how great a folder it is. It was worth every cent!
Also, postage was amazingly quick! Most letters and parcels here in Australia take a long time but a parcel from Turkey was here in days. I still have the beautiful postcard that came with it on my desk and the evil eye hangs inside my folder, nice extra touch, sending those with orders!

They are just the best!

It's my third A5 sized zippered folio, and if I could, I'd buy several more this instant, though I wouldn't have a purpose for the rest of them just yet, but I'd find something eventually. I'm sure of it.

Anyway, regarding the built quality: I'm no expert when it comes to leather, but they do hold up very well, and patina really nicely. I own two of the ‘Crazy [insert color here]‘ leather versions and one in black. The black one is more of a shiny finish, which creases more easily, but doesn't scratch as well as the ‘crazy‘ ones. One of my most favourite parts about these folios is the zipper ... I don't know why, but it's just the most satisfying zipper ever. Wouldn't have one without the zipper.

When it comes to use, I use one for my daily journaling, the other for my ArtSchool notes and drawings, and the third one for my art journal, where I do sketches in my free time, and that's also the one I'm reviewing right here. It holds three mechanical pencils, a large fineliner, blender, eraser, extra pencil lead, etc. Overall, it's pretty practical. I'm only wishing for an A4 version as well, since I sometimes prefer to draw a tiny bit larger, but for travelling, or just being out on the road, the A5 is great as well.

When it comes to the price point ... honestly, I would have expected it to be way more expensive. I mean, these products are just great in every way, and you can use them in whatever way you want. So, they are well priced, but I wouldn't mind having to pay more, to be honest. I'll also upload a picture on how I use mine in real life, not overly decorated or anything. In my case, I have a Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbook inserted in the folio, as my primary sketchbook. Everything is still very new, but this will change over time.

And that's about it. Thank you, Galen Leather for your amazing work! I'm looking forward to future products.

Perfection

Communication about a short delay for delivery was friendly and very clear. Following that, delivery can exactly as promised. The notebook folio is beautiful, and already an essential daily-used product. The various places to keep pens and other tools are solidly attached, and there are many of them. I couldn’t be happier with my folio, or with Galen Leather.

Beautiful craftsmanship + Functional Design

I absolutely love this zippered folio. I paired it with the Galen Cosmo notebook. As you can see, there is room for everything! Not pictured, are my ID and credit card. So I don’t even have to carry a wallet anymore! No more carrying around a separate wallet, journal, pen case, travel palette, paint brush case… it all fits into one! Zip it up and go!
