Another feature is that it's handy for people in who own many modern gadgets as the front pocket can easily fit all major brands of 7-inch tablet. This means you can carry your expensive tech without fear of it being damaged.

Our Deep Purple is a Byzantine shade of purple, similar in style to indigo but with a more bold and sophisticated finish to it. It's the type of rich, deep purple that clergy men used for their stoles, or wealthy London businessmen would use as the silk lining of their tailor-made suites. The consensus of opinion is that it is also very similar to plum purple or violet, but not exactly the same due to it's deeper finish, which gives it sophisticated edge. The leather is finished in our standard method, leaving the leather very hard wearing with a slight satin sheen to it. The reverse of the leather is dyed black, a combination which serves to emphasise this beautiful shade of purple.
