The leather was very nice and the heavy lined pages will make them nice journals. The binding straps make it sturdy and easy to hang onto when carrying it. It was a good book sized journal. Review: HEIRLOOM QUALITY - Quite possibly one of the nicest things I have ever purchased on desertcart - and I shop a lot here. It is beautifully made, and a lot of thought has been put into how it could very easily become a family heirloom down the road. The color is rich and warm, the leather is soft and succulent and feels good to the touch. The paper is intentionally a soft white that mirrors what you might expect to find in something aged - it is beautiful and will become a keepsake at the very least. To address negative comments head on: Yes - the leather does smell - but I did not find it overpowering - but instead, what should be expected from a quality leather item. There was no bleed-through of color from the leather at all, and with some gentle maneuvering of the leather cover, writing on the pages inside was quite simple. A beautiful gift that no doubt will be cherished. ## Features - MADE FROM BUFFALO LEATHER: Moonster’s leather notebook is made of hand-cut water buffalo leather and premium recycled cotton paper.

These are non refillable. I have actually thought of changing out the paper since this is very light. My preferred would be a 140 lb watercolor, Arches, Fabriano, or Moulin du Roy. If and when you decide to do this, you will actually have to “re-make” this item. Are you ready for that? Since I do not have a leather supply near me, I was thinking, I could get leather shoelaces at the cobbler, or a shoe store. You will have to cut the leather knots, then prepare the paper you are using for a replacement. I rip my own so I will have deckled edges. Then you have to fold it, and make the holes. If using 140 lb paper, you will not be able to fit as many. Are you sure you want to do this? I have a few more suggestions: leave this journal as it is. Record you daily life. Enjoy it as it is. A journal is meant to be a record. Make a daily entry. A drawing, painting, or just a memory of the day. My second tip is to make some simple books of your own. Find your special paper, go to an office supply store, or online and get some loose ring binders. You can make covers out of anything. Decorate as you like. Cut up Amazon boxes for cardboard. This way, you can take out any pages you don’t like. I take off all the expandable rings in any notebook or journal I buy and replace with the ring binders. My third and final suggestion is to either watch online, or better yet, take an in person journal making class at an art store or college. I am considering that option myself. One of my local colleges offers everything from crash courses to intensive Coptic binding classes. **Q: Is the paper parchment paper? Like a paper-pulp? I want a really handmade look** A: Yes from what I gather. It is actually like 5 mini pads (like they can only stitch 20 sheets to make the 100 or 200 or whatever pages) to make the big one almost like really old books.Totally hand done my husband loved his and said he felt like Indiana jones with an ancient notebook but it's crafted well!! **Q: For those using it, how well does it stay open when laid flat?** A: Mine doesn't stay open without holding it. I assume that once you use it a lot, the spine will soften and stay open a bit easier. **Q: Does this journal have dots like a bullet journal** A: Hi Jennifer, The paper is blank, and is not lined nor dotted in any way. We may come out with a lined variant in the near future. Please stay tuned!

The leather was very nice and the heavy lined pages will make them nice journals. The binding straps make it sturdy and easy to hang onto when carrying it. It was a good book sized journal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HEIRLOOM QUALITY *by A***H on March 21, 2025* Quite possibly one of the nicest things I have ever purchased on Amazon - and I shop a lot here. It is beautifully made, and a lot of thought has been put into how it could very easily become a family heirloom down the road. The color is rich and warm, the leather is soft and succulent and feels good to the touch. The paper is intentionally a soft white that mirrors what you might expect to find in something aged - it is beautiful and will become a keepsake at the very least.

A beautiful gift that no doubt will be cherished. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous, durable, soft, and genuine! *by D***E on November 2, 2018* I am absolutely in love with this journal! It's gorgeous, and as soon as I opened the package I smelled it and swooned. The smell of brushed leather is my favorite. There is literally nothing negative I could say about this gorgeous work of art. I'm amazed by the price, in all honesty... I think it's worth much, much more than the listed price. It's extremely soft from all angles... Even the pages are soft! I slept with it last night. I'm not one to keep journals, so I don't understand my love for this one. I got this for my Grimoire. I've ordered a couple others and gave them to my niece... I just didn't "feel" them. This one, however, is perfect. Enough of my creepy journal stalker talk. As stated, it's soft. The leather is aged and extremely good quality. It has a heavy weight to it, which is nice. There is no clasp, but instead a long leather strip that wraps around it several times... Also very good quality. The pages are made of cotton, and it shows. They're also soft and have a nice weight and feel to them. There was a protective "sleeve" between the leather and the first and last pages, to prevent staining and damage... Which I'm very happy for. The journal itself was in an envelope, however it was within a burlap pouch, which was also wrapped in plastic. I was so relieved about that, since it rained the night it was delivered. It's very thick... Full of pages. Many, many pages. And it looks like you can replace these pages once they're filled up with no real issues. You'd probably need to remove some stitching. It is GENUINE leather. The smell reminds me of a tack shop (I grew up with horses, so this is comforting). The company helps children in Africa and believes in being eco-friendly, which really shows in their craftsmanship. This is by far the most gorgeous item I've ever ordered off Amazon. I already had a coworker order one as well. Highly, HIGHLY recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - moonster Leather Journal Writing Notebook, Vintage Handmade Bound Notepad for Men Women - Write in Plain Thick Paper, 7x5 Inch Small Blank Pages, Drawing Sketchbook, Travel Diary, Unlined Note Book - Secopad Scrapbook Tape, 4 Pack Double Sided Tape Roller for Crafts, Adhesive Glue Runner Scrapbooking Supplies Journaling School Office Supplies for Kids and Adults, 0.3IN x 26FT - Leather Journal Notebook - Rustic Handmade Vintage Leather Bound Journals for Men and Women - Leather Craft Unlined Paper 300 Pages, Leather Book Diary Pocket Notebook, Diary To Write In (5" x 7") --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/28549717-leather-journal-writing-notebook-vintage-handmade-bound-notepad-for-men](https://www.desertcart.be/products/28549717-leather-journal-writing-notebook-vintage-handmade-bound-notepad-for-men) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
