Maximum Sheerness

Just incase it isn't obvious, I love black maxi skirts and love them even more when they are sheer

BigFatLove: Montblanc Meisterstück Portfolio

Leonardo da Vinci said: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".

I think that really suits to describe about this portfolio from Montblanc. Codenamed 'Meisterstück', I just love the simplicity of it with the smooth leather body and very structured design. In a glance it's quite similar to Louis Vuitton Minuto or Prada Saffiano portfolio.

This portfolio is made of Southern German full-grain cowhide which is dyed through using unique Montblanc deep-shine finish. The size is perfect enough if you wanna fill in A4-sized documents or a netbook inside. And with some extra zippered inner pocket, plus a large one on the back - you definitely won't look messed up once you enter the boardroom meeting.

What's more? It also include two slot-in compartments for writing instrument, one medium-sized and six small document pockets, and a ring for keys. Quite a feature, huh, given the size of this portfolio is just 39 x 28.5 x 5 cm - which is perfect enough to make you look sharp when you hold it alongside your smart suit.
