newestor Refillable Leather Journal Travelers Notebook - 8.5 x 4.5 Travel Diary with 5 Inserts + Pen Holder and Binder Clip, Standard Size, Brown

I purchased this and a Sovereign Gear notebook package, both are excellent quality, this September Leather version is a little wider which gives added protection to the inserted notebooks, there is plenty of overlap of the leather and you could easily insert the Kraft card insert, the plastic wallet and five or six notebooks and still have no items hanging out This September Leather cover has four 'bands' to insert your notebooks etc and an extra band is provided so you can piggyback two notebooks. So there's multiple ways to set this up! The leather is great, a nice leather smell and although it does mark easily (for me it adds character) it's easily buffed out with a minute amount of balm. The paper in the notebooks is pretty good, I've had no bleed through using a variety of pens including fountain pens. The supplied pen is adequate for general use, the pen holder clips nicely to either the outer leather or the cover of a notebook, it sits nicely snug to the cover and is definitely of good use. The little bulldog clip is fairly robust and I can see that it will come in handy at some point. For the price it is of exceptional value and it was packaged beautifully, it would make a genuinely great gift. I highly recommend this!

As most others have said, the paper quality is excellent and is good with many pen and paint types. I've added a fourth book to mine (on an elastic hung round the back of one of the books), Which I use for scribbled brainstorming lists. Cut down from a standard A5 book (they are the right height, just too wide) it was a Sea Salt notebook given to me as gift last Christmas; although a pretty cover, the paper in that is nowhere near as good. However, there are other A5 books out there that are a lot easier to find than this narrow size so that's where I'll look when I need some good quality refills. Yes, the cover does mark but this doesn't bother me. I have recently treated it with a leather restorer and that soaked in and covered all the marks so this might be an option for those who don't like the scuffs. I've had it for 6 months so just feeding the leather twice a year doesn't seems too onerous a tasks. The leather is tough and fully protects the contents but is flexible at the same time. The original pen was lovely but I wasn't able to find refills that fitted it so instead I now use a waterproof fine liner pen, and this is a good substitute. The plastic pockets are just the right size for small Post-Its, a folding ruler, some postage stamps and some pretty paperclips. Although I have included them in the notebook, I haven't used the carboard pockets yet and if I want to make a criticism it is the the little bit of double sided tape closing the bottom of these packets doesn't stay tightly stuck. Truly, that is the only thing I can find wrong with the whole notebook. I am so glad I didn't spend out on one of the expensive 'named' versions.

I'm not sure how/why this is so much less expensive than the vast majority of leather traveller's journals I've seen, because the quality really doesn't suffer from that lower price point at all. The leather feels lovely, it's all very well cut, it's satisfyingly soft so it doesn't have that stiff new leather look I hate but it still feels nice and sturdy. The notebook inserts are really nice too, the paper is smooth and a nice off-white colour. The additional accessories provided are very high quality and mean I've managed to fully set up the journal with everything I need to take it out and about without hassle. I do have a couple of very minor pieces of feedback, but they're definitely not big enough issues for me to knock my rating down from 5 stars. The pen loop attachment is great and the included pen is pretty nice to write with, but the pen loop is slightly too small for it so it's a bit of a struggle getting it in and out. Also I think it would be great if a pencil board was included in this set to provide a more stable writing surface.

Very beautiful journal! Great quality! i can't tell if it's real leather or not, but i dont mind either way.

Le carnet est GENIAL , exactement comme les photos et les commentaires, j'en suis super contente. Les inserts sont de qualité. Solides, le papier est assez épais mais pas trop et bien lisse, le crayonné est super dessus. Mais SVP donnez la référence des inserts pour racheter les même !! Ils sont introuvable actuellement... sinon sous d'autres marques mais moins qualitatives. En tout cas, je suis franchement très contente de mon achat le rapport qualité prix est excellent et ce carnet va me suivre partout.

Väldigt bra kvalitet! Upplägget jag har med de tre böckerna är att det rutiga är kalender. Det linjerade är dagbok. Det blanka är random doodles eller random anteckningar. Tycket det funkar bra! Hade uppskattat att få en bok med punkter istället för en blank, men förstår om andra föredrar blanka.

Es preciosa y super completa! Elegante me gustó más que la descripción. El cuero es bellísimo! Y puedes poner hasta 8 complementos

Very beautiful ... recommended
