HISCOW Slim Leather Junior Padfolio, 5x8 Notepad Cover, Classic Black

This is a good quality leather padfolio, by all technical standards. The quality/price ratio, and the craftsmanship (e.g, the wrapping cover) are worth 5 stars. But I have some doubt that it is not a real made-in-Italy product. First, the "HISCOW" brand doesn’t sound an Italian brand started in THE YEAR 1939 of Italy. Second, if you Google “HISCOW” you would find nothing except the seller store at Amazon. Third, their official website looks amateur and hasty with a lot of grammatical errors. Particularly, if you use Baidu, the Chinese search engine to search "HISCOW", you can find that "HISCOW" was actually a registered trademark by some Chinese guy in China in 2014 with exactly the same design of logo and textual symbols. Why some Chinese product (mostly likely manufactured in China) claims to be Made-in-Italy? ? Would the seller list their Italy contact address with a local contact phone number to clear the doubt?

I have been using this for about a month now. I purchased in red pebbled leather. I was immediately impressed with how soft the leather is! Very nice looking padfolio, has functional pocket for ID/credit card. I wish the larger pocket was big enough to fit standard size paper folded in half, but it's just a little small. Not much to do about that, as it's a restriction of the size of the unit as a whole, which I chose.I was worried about the leather scratching, being so soft, but nothing so far. Love it!

I don't normally spend this much on a folio, and I do feel self-indulgent, but I love this this pad. It is very attractive and well crafted, just perfect for class notes and for carrying in a small backpack.

This is a high quality, streamlined designed smaller portfolio, convenient for taking notes during business meetings. I docked it one star because of a few quirks. The first is that the seam on the cover is on the backside. Traditionally, it is on the front side, sort of looks weird. Secondly, the name is a bit unusual for the US market, despite being a high quality product, the name is just odd, "his cow." Thirdly, the packaging does not indicate where the product is made, though it highly 'suggests' in Italy. The hiscow.com domain is registered with an address in China. The contact info of HISCOW on Amazon would suggest that the company is a Chinese company.

I really like the quality of this product. I carry this with me almost every day at work. It’s a very convenient size, and it fits nicely in my briefcase. My only negative would be the embossed label on the front, but honestly, it’s so small no one can really see it.

This is a very nice 5x7 portfolio. The leather is soft and it looks good. It is the perfect size for me to carry and jot down notes when needed.

Fast shipping. Excellent quality leather. Five stars!

This is a beautiful small portfolio. I just received it today. It is just the right size for everyday use. I own 3 businesses and am constantly struggling to remember all that needs to be done. This will fit nicely in my purse, back pack and briefcase. It’s simple but very useful! Thank you Amazon!

It's really nice and it holds my notepads and keeps all my stuff organized love it
