Carry your important papers in a leopard embroidered portfolio tote bag. This style of tote bag is sometimes called a banker's tote because it is flat and wide - the perfect size for carrying a small stack of legal-sized papers. It would also make an excellent artist portfolio bag for carrying around a sketchbook or a handful of illustrations - big enough to hold and protect them, not so big that they're going to shift around and get damaged.

The bag is made of 600-denier polyester, the same durable material as most backpacks, and has handles of PVC webbing, so it is very sturdy. It is also environmentally friendly: 50% of the polyester has been recycled. There is one main compartment with a zipper closure as well as a smaller front pocket, which closes with Velcro. You could use the large pocket for papers and the small pocket for digital media (USB drive, CDs, etc.) or business cards.

A realistic leopard has been custom embroidered using 12 colors of thread and almost 40,000 stitches. It takes 22 thread changes in order to properly layer the thread so that the spots and details render correctly. Out of all the portfolio totes listed in my shop, this one requires the most work! Embroidery measures just under seven inches wide and is located on the front pocket of the bag.

Consider giving this tote as a gift to anyone who needs to carry around a number of papers in a professional manner, such as an artist, accountant, lawyer, clerk, business woman, teacher, or student. Anyone who loves wild animals or big cats would be thrilled to have a wild, yet very practical way to take books, magazines, or other small items from place to place.

I took a lot of art classes in high school and considered getting a fine arts degree in college. One thing I learned is that original art and sketches are only good if they're kept safe - particularly when traveling. (Imagine spending 20-40 hours on a piece only to have it ruined by the rain!) However, most of the portfolio cases I encountered were a boring, plain black. This small portfolio case started out as a boring plain black, but I decided to add a personal touch. It's still professional, but now it's also got a lot of personality. A touch of personality is perfect for an artist, or anyone else for that matter, who's trying to make a unique impression or presentation.
