It's been a few months since Apple accessory maker Pad & Quill announced the closure of its business, ending a 13 year run as a creator of leather accessories for Apple products. This week, former Pad & Quill president Brian Holmes has announced his new venture, Burton Goods, and it has a 20 percent off grand opening discount.

Holmes detailed everything that happened from the closure of Pad & Quill to the founding of Burton Goods in a blog post. Burton Goods will follow in Pad & Quill's footsteps in many ways, focusing on high-quality leather accessories for iPhone and iPad, leather bags for tech enthusiasts, and more.
Note: You won't see the deal price until checkout.
In regards to the grand opening sale, Burton Goods is offering a 20 percent discount sitewide for the entire month of January. This sale will be applied in your cart and does not require a coupon code. It's also specifically a pre-order discount, as Burton Goods' first wave of products doesn't launch until the first week of February.

This seems.. wrong? As the other poster hypothesized - did they just declare bankruptcy and stiff all their creditors in order to open a new business selling the same goods? If the original business model didn't succeed, what makes them think this go-around will work?
