Leather Journal Notebook for Men & Women,A5 Size Diary,6.2x8.5 Inch, Vintage Style Personalized Journal for Gift,Genuine Leather Bound Notepad for Travel Journal to Write,240 lined Pages,Rustic Brown

I bought this journal (red, smallest size) recently, and I have to say, I love it! It is high-quality, beautifully made, and worth the price. The cover is genuine leather, and the pages are heavy-duty. The (attached) cord that wraps around this book makes it perfect as a travel journal because it provides expansion potential for items you may wish to insert between pages (tickets, photos, receipts, dried flowers, etc.) You can find less expensive notebooks, but this is a good value for what you get.

We purchased two of these for our 2024 motorcycle travel his & hers journals. The pictures and the actual item look and feel like something from an Indiana Jones movie. I didn't bring my normal journal when riding solo in 2023 because I wanted something more resilient to normal camping & travel abuse. This journal looks up to that task. I travel in all weather and plan to store it in a plastic bag. But I desired extra protection,and therefore applied a homemade wax&oil leather/wood treatment on mine. The outside leather seems unchanged. But the inside surface and edges are no longer just raw untreated leather. During application I slid the sewn in paper stack inside of a plastic bag. Letting the wax&oil sink into the leather for about an hour before wiping off any remaining with a paper towel. The paper towel came away with chestnut stains from the leather die. The plastic remained on overnight, then a sheet of laser printer paper was placed between the sewn in pages and leather. That test went well and no wax, oil or die leached into the front or rear sewn in pages. The only stain on the sewn pages occur near the binding where the plastic bag pulled away while I was wiping on the wax&oil. Like any tanned leather I suspect this will stain things if it gets wet. Hopefully I have reduced that staining by treating the leather. Best case it just never gets wet. Nobody should be expect it to be waterproof. But it's so rugged you'll be tempted to take it canoeing, where anything is possible. I am satisfied that it's real leather, of substantial quality, and worth the money spent on it. If you've read the reviews you might be worried it's fake leather. I don't believe it is. It may not be top grain leather, but my two samples are a decent thickness of uniform leather. Neither one very distressed looking out of the box. I almost went with another brand because the binding on this "looked like leather" in the photos. It is actually bound with a heavy waxed thread, not leather. This is a good thing, because the thread will hold up better than a leather cord would. The idea of removing the booklets and rebinding held some interest for me. It would be kind of fun to do that just to see how the great looking binding is done. Blank books are available in bulk, so sourcing them is possible. Note that each of the sewn in booklets have no staples or covers on them. So after unbinding these pages would need to be either stapled or rebound into another "book cover".

Would be a WONDERFUL gift for a new graduate! Any gender, and any age. Looks like it will be a wonderful keepsake. Or a gift for any purpose, any time. I really love to BUY and COLLECT journals, but have trouble actually writing in them. I say this so you know that I have purchased far too many journals in my life time and I LOVE these that are leather, made by hand or look like they are made by hand. I have bought so many, but when they have arrived they were disappointing - thin paper, falling apart. THIS JOURNAL, though, is AMAZING! It FEELS so nice in my hands, the paper is nice and thick so my nicer pens won't bleed through, it is lined, but the lines aren't too dark, so it will be nice to write on. This journal feels like something that you could keep and use for years and will last. Makes me think of old books handed down for generations, or a travel journal that someone has kept for a life time. This journal is not refillable, the page signatures are stitched into the spine, but the signatures allow the book to lay fairly flat for writing on. Also, gotta say - I love the sticker the seller puts on the box, too. It is a simple little thing, but I just love it. Make it feel small business, and like the customers really matter to the seller.

Even better than what I expected. Great quality. Amazing look and feel

This leather journal has a beautiful vintage look and feels high quality in hand. The genuine leather cover gives it a rustic charm, and the lined pages are perfect for writing, journaling, or travel notes. A thoughtful gift or personal keepsake that looks and feels timeless.

Bought this for my husband to journal. Smells vintage and looks manly and high-quality. It’s a bit on the small side and will likely fill up quickly, but nice and portable. It closes fine and the strap is long enough that it holds shut without tying or tucking.

This is a high quality leather journal that I would recommend using, the feel is authentic. If scratches appear on it just wet the area and rub on it or you can do it dry and it will remove them. I wouldn’t recommend for drawing more for writing and/or journaling. My only critique is that it can be difficult to write in if you are holding it I would say it is better to sit and write.

This is a beautiful journal! Very well made.

Sehr gutes Notizbuch

Davvero ben fatto.

Tapa de cuero flexible, un montón de páginas bien encuadernadas de un color muy agradable, mejor que en blanco para mí, suaves líneas... Más bonito que lo que creía.

Très belle qualité du papier. Le cuir prend les marques mais cela me paraît normal. Franchement sympa comme article.
