Leather Journal Writing Notebook, Vintage Handmade Bound Notepad for Men Women - Write in Plain Thick Paper, 7x5 Inch Small Blank Pages, MOONSTER® Drawing Sketchbook, Travel Diary, Unlined Note Book

We gave these to our grandchildren and our daughter for Christmas and they thought the design was beautiful and loved them. 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.

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. 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.

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.

This is seriously THE most beautiful notebook I have ever seen in my life. The leather is undoubtedly real and is so soft to the touch. It has a subtle earthy, leather scent that sets the mood for your journaling or writing time! The wrap around closure string on this notebook gives off really retro vibes. Just looking at the notebook makes me want to write! The pictures don't do it enough justice. The paper on this journal is of unbelievable quality. They are thick and borderline cloth like, and writing in them makes me feel so inspired. They are a more cream color than straight up white like the pictures show, which I personally prefer because it looks so much more vintage and romantic. The pages are NOT refillable as they are bound into the spine, but that just makes you treasure every page of the book even more than you already will. However, if you make lots of mistakes when writing and you're a bit of a perfectionist like me, you should write in pencil first before writing everything down in pen. The leather does stain the pages (and probably your belongings if you shove them all in your bag), so be aware of that. I will probably find a cloth to wrap around this when I travel so I don't stain my bag haha. This journal was so beautiful that when i first opened it, I couldn't bring myself to write on the paper because my hands kept shaking. I did buy this on sale at around $23, but even if this goes back to full price I would not hesitate to buy it. It is SO worth the price and is much higher quality than other even more expensive journals that I've seen. It's no wonder why it has a 5 star rating with over 300 reviews. The size (7x5) is the perfect size to take on your travels or on the go without limiting your soace and creativity. If anything, I would be scared to put this in my suitcase in fear of it getting scratched somehow. >\\< If you like bigger notebooks though, they have a size up! Because the leather is soft and pliable, the flaps don't get in your way at all when you write. I admit I was a little hesitant on buying this because of the pages being bound in the book, and because I thought it wasn't very pretty from the pictures, but trust me. Whatever you see on the pictures isn't even a tenth of the beauty you see in person. The only con I can think of is that now, I will never be able to purchase any other journal because it will never compare to this one. I'll probably end up with a bookshelf of these by the time I retire :3 If I could marry an object, I would marry this notebook.

This is a very nice notebook, it is just extremely small. Even smaller than I expected and I knew it wasn’t going to be the size of a regular notebook. If you don’t mind writing in a small notebook you may like this. I find it way too hard to write when my hand is not able to rest on the book.

I ordered this for my granddaughter who graduated from college. We gave her the journal instead of a card. I placed the money we gave her inside and my husband and I each wrote her a message on the first page. She really liked it. The journal was very pretty and well made. I wish I had thought of doing this with my other family members.

This is a very nice notebook, with tons of snob appeal even if you never touch a pen nib to the paper. The leather cover is soft and easy on the hands, is beat up enough to look like you've done a lot more traveling than you really have. Although the notebook is thick, which makes it a little hard to write on when you start on the first page because of the thickness of the stack of leaves, it's much lighter than it looks. It fits nicely in a backpack or shoulder bag. One side of the cover is a much larger flap than the other, and either one can be the "front." I used the short side as the front of the journal, started writing on that page. It's a bit awkward, because the short leather flap doesn't lie flat; I have to hold it down. But the journal lies down better if the longer flap is the front. Next time I might start writing in the middle of the book, work my way to the end, then flip the journal and repeat, moving in the other direction. That way I'd never be writing on a stack of paper more than 1/2 the notebook thick. But that's just me -- it might make no difference to you. However, you don't have to write anything: Buy a fancy fountain pen (I use a stub-nib Conklin Duragraph, classy looking but not too expensive), carry the notebook and pen in a conspicuous manner, and you'll meet interesting people who think you're some kind of intellectual, or world traveller, or adventurer just back from Africa or somewhere. One woman asked me if the notebook was the same as the one Ralph Fiennes had in The English Patient. I told her it was from the same company. (I think Ralph's was actually a leather-bound volume of Herodotus's Histories, but why split hairs?) Anyway, whether you're a serious writer or just a poseur, this is a nice journal to have.

This journal is absolutely beautiful! The leather is so soft and the embossing is so detailed. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I showed it to my best friend right after I got it, and she ordered one too and loves hers just as much.
