hi
anyone can tell where in NY I can buy one of the nice portfolio cases that you see online.
I do not have time to wait to buy it online, and also, I don't like buying things online because I like to walk around and touch things that I want to buy, open out of the plastic and place back in the shelf if I don't like how it feels.I tried PERL art and it sucks, nothing professional there... just leather old fashioned ones. I like the contemporary ones, like wooden or aluminum.
Any clues it would be great, I'm not from the city but I will be there tomorrow during the day.
Thanks in advance.

B&H has ITOYA portfolios and similar things, but obviously aimed at photo prints.
Try Sam Flax and Utrecht, they had some good things last time I went.

all the stuff at sam flax is OvrPriced IMO... not that I have any alternatives.
I think i could make one myself for less...hmmm.

Try http://www.aifriedman.com/ they have a bunch of those fancy photo/design aluminum cases... not online it seems, but check out the stores, I saw a bunch in Chelsea.

I too would like to find a place in New York that has something classy, and minimal like this http://paperhaus.com/portfolios-…
Most of the links/stores listed above don't seem to have a good selection.
Any other suggestions?

get a standard portfolio case, go down to your local fabric store and get your favourite colour of fur n glue that to the case.
now if that doesnt say "i'm cool as f*ck so you better hire me!"
then i dont know what does!!
