Hi all

I’m looking for a leather folio to contain an a5 notebook, pen case, battery pack and cables, and odds and ends like name cards.

I’m in favour of a three sided zipped one a bit like crompton’s here but much sleeker and more modern. https://www.permanentstyle.com/2015/09/my-vintage-leather-folio.html

My current feeling having googled around and searched the forum is that a three sided one with compartments works well if i can find the right configuration. Otherwise I favour a pouch style one with a one sided zip opening.

Some candidates:
https://www.ilbisonte.com/hr-en/p/portfolio-man-a2865xxatxt609g/ The external pouch makes me think twice though. Bulky. But the right price!

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/202804706914 Three sided but not sure about the compartments. Navy leather is a plus.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/133038837384 Simple pouch style but no zip... unsure about the envelope style

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/274060868745 probably a configuration that works well for me.
