LEATHER VILLAGE Leather Bound Vintage Journal for Women & Men - Book of Shadows - Lock Closure - 200 Pages of Antique Deckle Edges Handmade Paper - Rustic Black Color - 10 X 7 inches

Wow wow wow....we are so pleased with it, absolutely beautiful and well made. Perfect and highly recommend this, gives us even more inspiration to be creative to fill it for memories for our little baby girl. Highly recommend this and it was also delivered a day early. The quality of the binder and the paper is outstanding and not thin, the smell of the leather is beautiful. Complete value for money and the feel and quality and attention to detail is perfect.

Beautiful, good quality and very good price for what you get.

Great quality item. Thanks

The perfect Item

Really nicely made and aesthetically beautiful. A lovely book to have for sketching, a diary, or even a front hall guest book. Great as a cosplay accessory as well!

This is something that has been made with a lot of care. Its perfect for what I wanted it for and I will be looking at this sellers other items. The quality is superb.

Really nice feel to this book. I use it for making notes on my Medieval travels and exploring medieval sites feels very authentic

So in love with book for journaling. Absolute must have for any scrap booking fanatic

Awesome and gorgeous. This looks like a book from the 18th century. Very well done. Made by an artisan.

Un diario elegante y bien hecho.

Delivered next day, June 12 2025. Product: 7x5 (?) chocolate brown leather journal with metal clasp and ragged edges paper. - Packing was minimally secure (in the soft, thinest version of Amazon plastic bags) - Journal itself in a clear plastic bag with no receipt, care instructions, catalogue with other items that one could buy, or tools that are recommended (pencil? Fountain pen? Watercolor? Other?) Adding these would increase sales! - Also, no specifications about quality/weight of paper (Acid free? Cotton? Rice?), paper size, number of pages. - One color card inside with a short curtesy message and picture of an artisan at work. THE JOURNAL: As most positive reviews describe, great product. - Strong leather smell (no chemicals). - Pages have a texture as if made of cotton. Cheaper models from same maker come with smooth paper, smooth ages, less aged look. - Antiqued/yellowed paper but not bright orange or weird shade. Looks like aged paper. - Paper has irregular borders adding to the old look. - Each page is different (hand made) and every now and then the mark of the clip that hung them up to dry is visible, adding to the effect. - Not excessive wrinkling or imperfections that may hinder journaling or painting, and no bugs or mold. - Each notebook comes with a dry pack to keep it from molding. - The two I ordered in same chocolate brown color are within the dark brown expected, yet different from each other. Neither had a flat homogeneous, fake or over-processed leather look. The leather feels great outside and inside. - Pages are well sewn - Hardware is aged bronze color, OK quality. Personally I don’t care for the metal closure and would’ve preferred the same rugged edges notebook just with a long strap to wrap around, but I’ll take it because the whole journal is absolutely beautiful. Since this is a gift, I will write on an insert the description from Amazon about acid free, handmade, weight, type of leather and care. Again, it would be nice if instead of the current one, the company would show their pride in their craftsmanship by describing, in a card the same size, type if leather and treatment details (for those with allergies or other health issues), correct care, type of paper, recommended pens, paints, glues, other models and sizes available. All and all a great product, well made and beautiful to hold or watch.

I bought four of these for gifts. I was very pleased with the appearance and the quality. The pages are nice and thick and have such a nice feel to them. The binding is beautiful. I am sure my friends will be using these for years.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Love love love. Craftsmanship is amazing, pages are beautiful, binding is perfect!!! Thank-you so much!!
