Best Leather Padfolio in 2023

Maruse Executive Padfolio

The Maruse Executive Padfolio is about as elegant as a padfolio can get and is one of the best leather padfolios on the market.

This padfolio is hand-made in Italy from Italian leather sourced in Tuscany. The build quality is second to none and the finish is spectacular, it really is a thing of beauty.

The padfolio comes with just enough room and pockets for everything you might need at work. There’s a sleeve for your laptop, one for your tablet, multiple card slots, plus pen holders, and space for a large notepad too.

When full, this padfolio closes with ease and the durable zipper ensures that everything stays secure inside when you’re on your way to work or a meeting.

The simplistic design and immaculate materials and build quality make this one great leather portfolio but it is a tad expensive.

Gavarnie Leather Padfolio

Another one of the best leather padfolios on the market is the Gavarnie Leather Padfolio.

Hand-made from genuine leather with quality stitching, this padfolio is as durable as it is good-looking. The light tan color is beautiful and the leather is soft and supple.

This leather padfolio comes with a pocket or sleeve for everything you might need at work. On the left, you’ll find a 13-inch laptop sleeve, a tablet/iPad sleeve, a phone sleeve, plus multiple pen and cardholders.

On the right is a sleeve for important documents plus a space for a notepad, and on the outside is another zippered pocket for any extras.

It secures shut using durable YKK zippers and even when full to the brim, closes with ease. If you’re looking for a beautiful leather padfolio that does it all, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Wundermax Zippered Padfolio

The Wundermax Zippered Padfolio is one of the best leather padfolios around if you’re on a budget or prefer a vegan option.

This padfolio is not only as affordable as they get but it’s also made from vegan leather, so no animals were harmed in the making of it.

That being said, the vegan leather still looks the part and it’s hard to tell it’s not genuine.

This padfolio comes littered with pockets and includes zipper pockets for documents, phone, and keys plus a tablet sleeve, card and pen holders, and of course a notepad area.

The tablet sleeve has a soft layer to protect the screen and a velcro strap to secure in place for when you’re walking to meetings.

The only drawback to this great value padfolio is that it’s a little hard to close if you fill it to the brim, so try to pack it a little light.

Estalon Leather Padfolio

Another of the best leather padfolios on the market is the Estalon Leather Padfolio.

This padfolio has a great look with a washed-out dye that makes it seem like it was made 100 years ago. Instead of zippers, it comes with brass button closures, and overall its simple, yet rustic look is incredibly appealing to the eye.

The inside layout is simple with just enough room for all you need. There is a document/tablet sleeve, pen holders and card slots, plus a pocket for your phone and of course a large notepad area.

When full to the brim, it can be a little tricky to fasten the brass button on the outside and if you’re worried about the lack of zipper, don’t be. Both the tablet and phone pocket have their own brass buttons to ensure they aren’t going to fall out.

AZXCG Leather Padfolio

The AZXCG Leather Padfolio is another one of the best leather padfolios around if you don’t mind spending a bit.

It’s made from genuine leather with a quality build that lasts. The leather is oiled to give a lightly tanned color and it’ll look great everywhere from on your desk to in a board meeting.

It comes with all the pockets, sleeves, and slots you expect. There’s a place for your tablet or laptop, phone, documents, pens, cards, and a notepad.

It also includes an A4 ring binder down the spine, something that most other leather padfolios don’t, and it’s a great thing to keep your note organized.

To top it all off, it even comes with a lifetime guarantee. But it does get a bit bulky when full, so if you’re looking for a slim padfolio this might not be right for you.

KomalC Leather Business Padfolio

The KomalC Leather Business Padfolio is one of the best leather padfolios around if you want something slimline and old-school.

Its minimalist design includes a space for all your pens, pads, cards, and documents but misses out on any sleeves for tech like laptops, phones, or tablets.

That might be a game-changer for you, or make it more attractive. There is a sleeve on the side that will fit a tablet in though if you wanted it to.

This padfolio is hand-made of buffalo leather and it looks the part for any business meeting.

There are some reports of the dye staining the papers inside though and it’s a little too small for 8/11 pads, so bear that in mind before buying.

Rustic Town Business Leather Padfolio

The Rustic Town Business Leather Padfolio is another great padfolio for keeping everything you need for work and meetings in one place.

Made from 100% genuine buffalo leather, it feels soft and looks good plus it’s durably made and will last a lifetime with care.

There is a place for everything from a late note pad to a sleeve for your laptop or tablet and your phone. There are zippered pockets for valuables plus pen and card slots too.

The laptop/tablet sleeve is made for a 13-inch screen but it can be a little tricky to squeeze and 13-inch laptop in there. It’s also quite hard to close the zipper once it’s full.

Nero Manetti Leather Padfolio

The Nero Manetti Leather Padfolio is the second vegan leather padfolio to feature in the article.

Unlike the others, this padfolio is black instead of tanned and looks part but it doesn’t quite feel it. Unfortunately, the vegan leather on this padfolio doesn’t quite compare to genuine leather but it’s still vegan, which is a plus for some.

It comes with a document, tablet, and phone sleeve, plus slots for your passport, cards, pens, and a large notepad.

The padfolio also includes a detachable phone wallet, so you can take what you need from the padfolio when heading out for lunch, and leave it safely in the office.
