Bugatti Leather Ring Binder Portfolio

So who the heck is Bugatti? Sounds like a car. Well they seem to be producing a product that hit my price point. The designer stuff is in the 100s and the Staples Schlock is in the $20s to $30s so $70.00 to me is reasonable for a stylish leather portfolio. I'm the kind of person who likes value, a reasonable price with great features is what I look for, and this fits the bill.Let's begin with the two most important thing.1st. Yes this is Leather. It smells like leather no doubt about it. I read a review of another of their products and the customer said it wasn't leather so I was keeping my fingers crossed and was very pleased when I smelled the moo.2nd most important is that it looks professional. You walk in with this shiny cowhide portfolio and they know you mean business.You can look at the pictures and see all the functionality so I'll forgo all the details.It is reasonably sized. I'm a Sales Manager in California and this is exactly the look and functionality for me. I go on 1 or two business meetings a week and this looks smart without being too formal. For California the briefcase would be too highbrow and I don't carry that many papers.Contrary to another review the zippers work perfectly. Now the bad. Not really much. It looks like this is hand stitched so (under the microscope and not noticeable at all) I see some minor imperfections but hey isn't that better than Machine made.If I have 1 gripe which could be a positive for another person. I'd probably prefer this not to have the outside pockets and be a little slimmer. But I'll bet you I'll change my story in a few months when I find a use for them.I think this may be my lucky charm, I wrote more business today than the other two salespeople in the office have written all month!(Irrelevant to the review but I felt like bragging). I took this out on my business meeting with me (First Use) and in the middle we had some number crunching to do and the CEO says " You have a calculator let's run some numbers". I felt so prepared and smart. Yes I know that any smartphone has a calculator but it's not the same as having it attached to your Portfolio Case.To sum it up, reasonably priced, lots of features and smart looking this Leather Portfolio wont' dissapoint.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Follow up 1 month later. Taking it to a trade show and borrowed my daughters IPAD it fits perfectly inside the folder inside the case. So it's definitely IPAD compatible.

So, I've had this product for just a bit over two years. I bought this because I was tired of carrying a full briefcase/laptop combo around with me. I rarely write reviews and--of course--I am commenting on the product I bought in 2015 so I can't comment on any changes that might have been made in design/quality but the image looks the same. First, it is a leather exterior that has turned out to be pretty durable even though the leather is of minimal thickness. To date, I have no holes or tears in the portfolio. I must say one of the things I like most about this is the overall design. There are two exterior zippered pouches on one side and a pocket on the reverse that will hold a manila folder. On the inside is another pocket also capable of holding a manila folder or--in my case my MS Surface Pro 4--and another zippered pocket (where I keep my Surface Pro fold-flat mouse). The computer and mouse essentially disappear into the portfolio. I like the small 3-ring binder that I have set up with tabs to keep my projects separated. I rarely use the calculator. But I do have an 8.5x11 pad of paper whose cardboard back fits into another sleeve behind the binder. I buy notepads already having the 3-hole punch so I can take notes and then just pop the page into the 3-ring section. Overall, this product is nicely thought out. This is my now my "briefcase" and I carry it everywhere without feeling like I am lugging around, well, luggage. I am pleased this thing has shown to be sufficiently durable to survive two years of daily use and is still going strong. BTW, I am not making any recommendations on a MS product here, just noting the device fits nicely. The portfolio hits a nice price point and has managed to keep this "frugal" person organized.

The online reviews were helpful prior to purchasing this product. The 3-ring feature makes this portfolio pretty versatile. It also is pretty roomy on the inside. I use the inside pocket for my ASUS Transformer tablet. It fits perfect when it is just the tablet but a little tight when I have the keyboard attached. For my needs there are enough pockets to store items. The only issue I've had is that one of the zipper pulls has come off. The leather doesn't feel "supple" but I suspect that over time it will soften up.

Good quality leather, excellent stitching, heavy duty zippers, lots of storage space, well designed, removeable 3-ring binder (velcro), perfect legal-pad slot on right side. I love this bag/binder. I have a Kindle DX and wanted a 'cover' that would allow me to have the kindle on the left side and paper for notes on the right - this seems to be the perfect solution. The pocket on the left side of the open binder is the perfect size and fit for a kindle to be stored, providing adequate screen protection and padding. Perfect for students using the kindle dx. Amazon gave an inaccurate estimated shipping, saying it would take 2-3 weeks. I wrote this seller and they quickly responded, shipped next business day via fedex and I received the item in two days - doesn't get any better than that, thank you mybizbag.

I was looking for a practical yet stylish padfolio at reasonable price point. This Bugatti LRBP seems to fit the bill. It was well made yet didn't really speak quality (you get what you paid for). The leather is way too stiff, the light beige trims detract from its general appearance. I would prefer all black. Finally, the notepad holder was cut too high making it difficult to secure the notepad in place. Overall, it's an okay beginner padfolio if you are not too picky.
