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.

Beautiful, excellent quality and it comes with everything to get you journaling out the box, they even throw in a pen. Size is perfect, this should last a lifetime be interesting to see how it ages as I love it when my journals age.

Update 19/Jul/2024 I purchased further 2 leather organisers, standard size, from this supplier for present. I have received amazing organisers, with great quality, with no issues whatsoever. The both organisers arrived in perfect condition, very well packaged and delivered in time. It became clear for me that the supplier had improved their product quality from the last year, and consequently, I changed my review score from 2 up to 4 stars. Thank you. ——————————————————————- Update 03/Jun/2023 I bought another organiser by the same seller for myself, which left me very disappointed. As you can see from the pictures, the second organiser is very different colour from my previous purchase. Also, the leather appears uneven in colour (more darker in front) and stays on patches. Clearly, this is not the appearance advertised by the seller. Furthermore, appears that each lot of products is different, which questions the quality. I already contacted the seller about this issue and their response was “Hello, sorry but my suggestion is to wait about 2 months (for the current stock to run out) and purchase a new one.” No, I will definitely not! The item is going back and I will avoid this seller in the future. Consequently, I will change my overall experience from 4 to 2 stars. ———————- Nicely packed product, in cotton bag. Good size, which can accommodate a lot, including your passport, travel tickets or boarding pass. However, I am not sure is that a genuine leather - doesn’t smell like my other leather products. This product is painted and the paint easily coming off when you use cosmetic for leather care - see the video attached. So, keep this journal away from your white shirt. I have mixed emotions with this purchase, but start to like it. I am not going to use the metal pen clip, because is too harsh and can damage the leather overtime. However, the journal can be useful when traveling, plus the price of £23 (reduced with 20%) is fair for what you get. Finally, the scratches can be easily removed with leather care balm, as advertised by the seller, but will see what will be the colour underneath the paint.

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

I was really surprised by this item. The Leather is gorgeous. At the beginning the cover loses small “pieces of leather”, but as the days went by it stopped. It's my first time using a Travel Notebook system and I am enjoying using it a lot. The notebook inserts are of good paper quality, it handles well fountain pens. I don't use the pen holder because it damages the leather, it scratches it. The pen is also great, it writes smoothly. It is a very complete set. High quality and value. I am having a great experience with it. I highly recommend.

Impressive quality, especially considering the price! You really do get a lot for your money with this journal. I haven't tried Midoris (now "The Traveler Company") journal, so I can't really compare the two, but this is a really nice journal. The included inserts are all fountain pen friendly, though I find them a little too scratchy for my liking, so I ended up getting Midoris dotted inserts. The included card-folder and clip is great! Can't wait to see how it ages over time. Stoked.

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.

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