Refillable Handmade Travelers Notebook, Leather Travel Journal Notebook for Men & Women, Perfect for Writing, Gifts, Travelers, Small Size 5.2" x 4" Inches - Coffee

Bought this as a gift for a friend , when I opened it up I was pleasantly surprised at how excellent the quality was. The cover itself is so smooth and sturdy. I own a Louise Carmen Roadbook (much pricier French journal) , so opted for this because of similarities and honestly this is different but better in multiple ways. I love the inserts with zip pouches/ pockets and the removable journals. It fits perfectly in your hand and is great for traveling. It’s everything and more than I could have ever expected. Highly highly recommend.

I’m new to this type of notebook, so I wasn’t looking to make much of an investment. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the leather cover and the booklets that came with it. The leather cover does scratch easily, but it adds to the character of it. And the scratches can easily and quickly be rubbed out. Overall, I’m so very pleased with this cover. (Added a decorative patch to make it mine.)

I started carrying around a small, paper journal with me wherever I go some time over twenty years ago, and after all these years, I finally found my ideal journal!The cover really is leather, and considering the lack of care I’ve shown it, it likes great. The box it comes in makes it feel like you’ve spent money. The quality of the paper is high enough that gel pens don’t leak through to the other side. You can barely even see that the other side of the page has been written on without holding it up to the light!!I love that it’s refillable—as much as I enjoy my collection of retired journals, I look forward to not having to buy a brand new one that’s slightly different and slightly less good in some way.I love the clear zipper pocket where I can not only put a piece of paper but can also see it so I remember it’s there!I love the size, the elastic closure, the three different types of paper (lined, blank, and craft), the heft and feel of it. I love that it really looks quite good for having been kicking it around in my bottomless pocketbook for a couple months, where it’s done battle with pens, bottles, knitting, and all manner of electronics.The only cons:1. Pen Slot: I have not yet figured out ideal pen placement (to ensure that my pen is always with my journal), but I probably need to break out a mini-pen that I bought for previous journals.2. Place-mark: there’s no attached ribbon allowing you to easily find your place, but it will probably be easy to attach a bit of ribbon to the elastic closures that keep the notebooks in place.3. The Brass Plaque: I don’t like the “where there’s a will there’s a way” saying on it, you can’t pick other sayings, and I don’t have the means to clip the metal at the holes to remove it. So I keep it on the back of the journal. In the scheme of things, this is beyond not a big deal, but this journal is so awesome that it’s my biggest complaint.

I like this for the most part. The red color isn't a bright red or anything, but not as deep as maybe a wine or maroon red.The cover feels fine, it comes with all the inserts plus a cute postcard and bookmark. It's definitely the same size as the tctn cover, so you can use their inserts in this.The paper inserts are staple-bound, so that the elastic might not like that. The paper itself feels very normal? It'll hold most of your pens alright, so long as you're not using insane inks or stamps.My only very personal gripe is that the elastic that goes around the cover is actually one giant elastic that also keeps the inserts in. So if you wanted to unravel the elastic to customize it, it wouldn't be the easiest. It's not impossible, but it's secured pretty well. A shame, because I had some charms I wants to slide on there.But if you don't care about that, it's absolutely fine.

Good quality looks good

Awesome ! Good thick cover nice color nice texture , excellent inserts !

I ordered this Notebook as opposed to the other relatively famous brand that costs 2-3 x more and only includes one insert. I'm not sure how anyone can complain about this Robrasim version. It is almost exactly the same design as the other note-able brand (excuse the pun) but maybe slightly thinner leather. The paper in this notebook is definitely "Fountain Pen Friendly" and does not bleed or ghost using a Fine nib. It seems smooth to write on per this fountain pen amateur. The cover doesn't smell bad to me and while not as gorgeous a smell as my Ashland Leather Horween wallet, it's pretty flippin' acceptable. Finally, the design is great with the small leather loop that holds a pen nicely in place without having to purchase a separate pen holder. IF this is the sort of small notebook you want to use, say compared to a very small ringbinder, a classic small notebook, etc, I would say you cannot go wrong at this price. It's excellent. Give it a whirl.

Love the size and feel of the leather. Fits perfectly in your back pocket,Messenger bag or backpack.Great for taking notes,journaling,jotting down your thoughts,sketching or doodling. Just as good as the major brands but at half the price.
