This portfolio is definitely top-notch in terms of construction. It looks elegant and it seems very durable. Unfortunately, it came with a very strong chemical smell that does not go away. When I took it to class, my classmate sitting next to me noticed the smell, so it is not subtle at all. I hope it will fade away overtime.EDIT: After reaching out to the seller to inform about my experience, they were very understanding and issued a refund. I do appreciate the costumer service efficiency.See full review
