Leather Journal Writing Notebook - Genuine Leather Bound Daily Notepad for Men & Women Lined Paper 240 Kraft Pages, Handmade, Rustic Brown, 5 x 7 in

This journal is absolutely gorgeous. The leather feels high-quality and durable, and it has that classic, timeless look that only gets better with use. The paper is thick and writes smoothly without bleeding, which I love. It’s perfect for journaling, note-taking, or even as a thoughtful gift. Definitely one of those pieces that feels special every time you pick it up.

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".

This is a trusty, good journal that I have been using for daily journaling for over two years now. I will stay a customer for as long as these stay on the market, because they are so well made and are such a pleasure to use. The paper is good quality, with spacious lining and great thickness so the ink doesn’t easily bleed to the other side. The cover is nice leather, with genuine leather strap that holds the journal closed for you. I usually take the strap out, however, and just clip the cover with my pens that I use to write in the journal, which is very handy. The genuine leather and kraft paper also give the journal a nice smell. I enjoy the smell of genuine leather and stationery, and it is still there over a year later, but if thats something that bothers you then this journal might not be for you. The paper is a great yellowed color, and the lining isn’t too bold, so it doesn’t stand out too much if drawn over. There are no other formatting or styling on the pages, which I enjoy for journaling freedom. I appreciate the pen included, though I do not use them because I prefer a very specific brand for my writing. The pen is still a nice quality, though, if you are not picky! Overall, highly recommend, for keeping in your bag for notetaking, or journaling, or whatever your needs may be! This journal will also hold up well to travel and long-time use, as well as any other arts and crafts you may want to do to it :)

It is a beautiful journal. The leather is perfect, not too stiff, playable to leave open and close properly. The paper is a great match with the color of the journal. I love it and would order it again! Plus it came with a wonderful sticker that made our day when opening the package!

Quality soft leather and great paper quality. Not very easy to write on both sides of the page. Awesome and stylish to carry around. Feels luxurious.

Davvero ben fatto.

Pen was niet goed gesloten dus was uitgedroogd, maar ging vooral om het notitieboek en daar kon ik niet blijer mee zijn.

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.
