This is the iconic document holder like you've never seen it before. The Folderfolder by Yongjin Kim was inspired by the familiar form and function of the disposable file sleeve but presents itself as a considerable upgrade in much more expensive material.
The organizer was executed in a luxurious brown leather and nearly double layered. The edges are finished with a neat looking line of thick stitching that you're used to seeing on hide belts and boots. A protruding tab is clearly defined so that the desk accessory looks unquestioningly like the paper version.
Of course, the Folderfolder by Yongjin Kim might not strictly be used in the same manner as the original. Unless you can afford entire filing cabinets full of the fancy sheet sheath, you'll likely use this for one case at a time.
