Luxury SVC Folder Was the Accessory to Flex School Pride (Embossed with Southern Vermont College, Bennington seal)

Folder emblazoned with SVC seal.

If you were in the market for a folder at the SVC bookstore, this was as good as it got. With two pockets and embossed with the Southern Vermont College seal, this folder was positioned brazenly in the high-end section of school supplies. 

As a thrifty college student, I never purchased one of these folders myself. Generic folders from Walmart were more my cup of tea, often held together by bumper stickers as the semester rolled to a close. 

To be sure, there was a market for the Cadillac of SVC folders, and it was typically made up of faculty, staff, non-traditional students, and alumni. 

I came into possession of this executive style folder during my sophomore year, while in a class with a few juniors and seniors. One of the graduating seniors, observing my frugality, gave me the lightly worn folder to use the following year. 

That next fall, it was hard to hide my pride as a work-study student flexing a top-of-the-line SVC folder. I'm happy to report that it's still intact and functioning all these years later. Just like the memories of SVC, this folder will live on forever!
