Highly Recommended - Quality Product!
This is not a paid review. I bought the item with my own money. This is an honest review of the leather journal.The craftmanship on this item is well done. The leather is thick and will hold up to everyday use. It is not flimsy nor does it easily crack when bent or folded. It is a distressed type of leather that will scuff and scratch similar to Travelers Notebook. In fact, the surface of the leather almost feels like Travelers Notebook Brown or Black. This is not the burnish, sleek, or shiny leather. This is the kind that is meant to get scratches and is meant to age like a vintage item. The inside of the leather has a soft suede feel. Over time, the exterior and interior will scratch up and that is given due to the type of leather. If you like Travelers Notebook Brown of Black, you will feel comfortable with this type of leather used on the journal.The wraparound style is wide enough for you to have 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches thick inserts. So you can stack as many inserts as you like. Or you can have two or three inserts along with a Leuchtturm 1917 or Moleskine notebook.The cord to secure the journal is very long and it wraps around the item three times. You can keep it that way or just cut the excess and use it as a bookmarker. You can also replace the leather cord as it just slips through a hole on the front cover and is held in place by a knot.The stitching quality on the leather journal is excellent. I can tell that a machine was used to make the stitches. The holes are evenly spaced and the threading work is consistent.Overall, this is an excellent product that should be priced above its current value. I've seen similar top-quality leather journals on Etsy that go for over $60 or $80. You are getting a good bargain price here for the same quality of work and same quality leather. If you are looking for that perfect leather journal for a reasonable price, consider this item. You will enjoy the feel, look, and presentation.

Very SATISFIED; Excellent Quality in All Areas/Worth the Purchase!
I LOVE this leather sketch (note) book cover & it’s accessories! Upon rcv’ing the package at the front door, I had a pair of scissors & opened it right up. Immediately the smell hit me-oh that leather smell that shows authenticity. (I also noticed the color wasnt the one I thought I had chosen; but that’s my fault for not verifying & assuming i had everything exact. But I love the lighter tone brown as well. Dark Brown is my “go to”; but I’m too happy & satisfied with the product. After that little confusion, I dove into the box. First, the way the owner/seller wrapped it up was very cool. It was packed within a heavier weight Kraft style paper type box. Excellent quality. Then, I noticed this box was sealed with a cute Sticker staying: “your purchase made my day” & “I hope this package makes your day.” (It did, thx!) so this led to the real item & all its accessories. I’m opening the actual item & it all is exactly as I had seen & read online. I was happy with the specific pattern of how the leather was cut & sewn, the many versatile options within this baby will make this my multiple project notebook. I searched for SO long to find just the right one. My purpose is for Sketchinb/Drawing. That is not an ez task-even with all the various options offered by Amazon. The pickings were slim for my particular needs/tastes. The cost for a REFILLABLE, LEATHER notebook is rare, but I stumbled across this brand new offer. The right size, the correct style for me, the individual features that I will use ALOT & the fact that I can purchase a specific refill for my sketching/drawing & it is a basic size that cAn be found in all brands is very cool. Nit just The quality of it all being so good, but, a problem with most other notebook covers used as a sketch pad also, is that while a lined notebook will work very well, the style of art grade blank paper to fit within some of the ones making the claim is not always factual. We need a sketch pad to lay flat, I’ve already tested this, it lays flat! (I’ve exchanged one of my existing A5 sized sketch pads as a test-it passes perfect toy!) The pad that comes with it is decent enough for sketching with pencils & some light pen work; but I’ll need to replace cut when it’s full with a higher quality refill. Not one of those “30 pg” or “80 of” pads. But, this allows for the thicker sketch pads that use kraft/toned paper of stronger weight. So, in summary-this is the notebook for you.It’ll last a VERY long time if you take care of it. I plan on doing just that.
