Custom Padfolio Review

[pamsc]

Etsy seller TextileTraveler (http://www.etsy.com/shop/TextileTraveler?ref=seller_info)made me a custom pad holder to carry everything I need when I teach. The particular custom feature I wanted was holders for my glasses and pens on the front of the padfolio:

 

 

In the picture I did not push the glasses all the way in, so you could see them. I won't be carry it far usually so I didn't ask for a flap over the pen and glasses pockets, but she could certainly add one.

 

I needed the padfolio to be letter sized and have a pocket for papers because I accumulate letters about special situations that students hand me. It is useful for me to put them in a safe place as soon as I get them. I got to pick the fabrics I wanted and I decided to go bright on the inside:

 

 

The structure of the padfolio comes from something like thin stiff foam, so it holds its shape but is flexible. It is securely held together and very lightweight.

 

She has another padfolio with glasses case at http://www.etsy.com/listing/91089290/batik-fabric-notepad-cover-with-glasses, but it was a lot of fun to work with her and request exactly what I wanted. The price was $26 plus $5 for shipping. She was busy with a big job so the design process took about a week. I paid for the final design on Saturday and it arrived in the mail on Wednesday.

That's pretty cool. It looks to be the perfect functional folio with both fun and simplicity in mind. I'm glad you found this person on Etsy to get what you needed, and at such a reasonable price. I found absolutely nothing on the 'net after your first query with your specifications.

 

Thanks for the review and the link.
