Happy boyfriend, happy life

I got the padfolio for my boyfriend and it was love at first sight between him and it. He loves it so much, he got an iPad to fit into the other compartment. It was the sign he needed he says to complete his Apple set. Thank you so much for the great product.

I love everything. If there’s one change I’d love you to consider, it’s the inside divider, I would like it to be black instead of grey.

I ordered myself a leather portfolio cover and I am thrilled with the product. It is perfect for working on the go. Enough space for the essentials and my laptop (MacBook pro 13inch) it all fits perfectly and it was customised. Great quality. Great service. I would definitely recommend their products.

I recently visited The Great Break, a leather store, and had an incredible shopping experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the quality and diversity of their leather products, which ranged from, wallets, and belts to more unique items like handmade journals and bags. The leather itself felt premium, and the store had a distinct, rich scent that only comes with genuine, well-crafted leather goods. Honestly one of the best leather stores in the whole of Southern Africa. Run by a man that looks 10 years younger than he claims to be, and muscles that could be compared to the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, I couldn’t recommend a better place if you are in need of a leather item to satisfy your needs.
