Help Hive mind

I have been put in charge of getting a present for a lovely person- but I can't work out what I need to search for as nothing is coming up trumps

So it needs to be a posh leather or faux leather ringbinder (The gift is a binder full of childrens drawings/ notes/ ephemera. It needs to not be a bound book- as we want to be able to add to the binder as time goes on. We want it to have the feel of getting a lovely leather book down off the study book shelf- it needs to look like the sort of binder a v posh old fashioned solictor would have in his office- think burgundy mock croc with one of those little brass plates on the front.
Google throws up some leather binders but they are too modern- Stamp albums look closer to what we want but some are not A4 which it must be.
Anybody know what I am looking for or how to narrow my Google search to get it?
Thanks in advance!

Like this kind of thing?

folderworkshop.com/shop/ these have ones which look sturdier

If you can’t find exactly what you need, maybe find a local book binder? Then you could choose the leather, maybe get some initials stamped in gold. You could probably take along a quality a4 folder of your choosing.

You could try to search for leather portfolio A4 ring binder. Is this the kind of thing you had in mind?

I saw this but we thought this was a little too corporate rather than luxe

I like the personalisation of this - will look at the dimensions

They look great! The family History binder is literally exactly what we were picturing but with our own title on the spine- it looks like they may do personalisation though so will contact them

These are nice too.

Violet these look perfect and I would order today but they are slightly smaller than A4- so annoying!

That’s annoying!

This in red fits A4
