In the Thick of It

Thickskin Portfolios

You’ve done your best to repress the brutal memory of fifth grade.

Let’s just say it wasn’t your most socially successful phase. It all went downhill after you showed up on the first day of school without that essential guarantor of preteen popularity: a Trapper Keeper.

If only you’d had a portfolio from Thickskin, you’d have been the coolest kid on the block. The super-flashy look of this three-ring binder blows any and all out of the water. Choose from brown, natural, or black — in high-quality Italian leather — or the white-and silver-combo, which comes with embossed detailing. All models are lined with black leather. Big enough for standard eight-and-a-half-by-eleven paper, the portfolio can hold anything from your latest homework assignment to (hello, graduation) your latest script. Guaranteed to make you popular beyond your wildest imaginings and to bring about your long-awaited fifth-grade comeuppance.

Though please try to refrain from giving your coworkers wedgies and swirlies in the girls’ room.
