Yesterday I had a meeting to which I had to bring a bunch of documentation that was important enough that I didn’t want to do what I usually do with papers – stuff them into my slouchy purse, where they end up alternately crumpled/ink-stained/lip gloss-smudged – and ended up trucking around town with an extremely elegant manila folder straight from that bastion of style, Staples. I got to thinking that a leather portfolio might be a quite lovely thing to keep around for occasions just like yesterday’s meeting, and last night I found this very awesome tooled leather vintage piece ($45) from Dtreasures (via Etsy).
