Top quality - this company is true leather Artisans
As with the other reviews, I received this within a few short days of ordering.  The quality is top notch. You can tell these are true leather artisans because the cuts and stitching are spot on.  When you end a run of stitching, you have to overlap a small part of the first row. As you can see from the photos I have attached, the last row of stitching is perfectly laid over the first one. There are no loose threads and you have to inspect carefully to even see it.  Another area you can easily tell an artisan from a novice is at the corners. This has been carefully made, not just slammed out.  The seams are even, straight, and carefully sewn.  This is a piece that will last for many years and I look forward to how it will look 10, 20 years down the road.  I am certain this will be an heirloom piece for me.  The leather has a slightly rustic look, but not so much that it cannot be used professionally. In fact, you can tell this is high quality leather and works well for business.  The more you use it, the more flexible and soft it will become.  Mine came with a slight imperfection in the leather, a grooved welt on the inside back flap. I happen to love that since it adds character. I felt the designer who put this together did a good job making sure that was placed on the inside of the flap rather than the outside. All around, you can tell an expereinced hand worked on this and that they used quality products.
