Amazing quality
If what you're looking for is a solid leather journal cover large enough to fit a couple thin books then you won't get much better than this. It fits a standard 192-page journal as well as 2-3 Moleskin Cahier-style notebooks comfortably without bulging. The pen holder is handy and the elastic enclosure is a great touch to keep it all neat.With everything in it it can get quite heavy, so I don't use it in my daily carry, but it reliably and stylishly stores my other journals when I need them.

Very happily surprised - it is great!
I have ordered leather items before that have turned out to be fake or poor quality so I was a little nervous however this A6 notebook cover is just as shown in the photo. Lovely and dark colour, great feel, no nasty marks anywhere and genuine leather.The design is perfect for my needs and it feels like it is really well made. Very happy customer.

Solid and excellent quality
I am very impressed with this cover. The leather is thick and the stitching is perfect all round. It's a little stiff (being new) and though it's designed for the Traveller style inserts, I am curently using it for two hardback Leuchtturm style books (though it makes the whole thing very heavy). I have a feeling that this cover is going to last many, many years.Edit: after 4 months of daily use I am even happier with this product than I was when I bought it. The leather, which was quite stiff when new, is now supple and flexible, and is just stating to show a bit of patina where it gets handled the most. The elastics are still holding up excellently well. I'd give an extra star if I could.

Gorgeous with broad spine
Had bought the wanderings A5 which I loved but then I fitted the Midori 1 page per day notebook which was just too big for it. Delighted with this cover which is perfect for that Midori and use the other for something else. This feels sturdy and looks jolly serious! Also very pleased it has a pen loop

Excellent Journal Binder
I currently have 4 cahier size a5 inserts plus a Moleskine softcover a5 notebook slipped inside the back flap. I use a journal like this for all sorts of things, mainly keeping track of various things in my life (movies watched, fish caught, travel notes, etc). The quality is much better than I expected. It will certainly last a long time. It is genuine leather, and will acquire ‘experience’ over time and gain a distressed look. It’s also very portable and is a pleasure to carry around. For those unfamiliar with ‘Midori’ style travel journals, inside are several threads which allow you to put a5 jotter style notebooks, whether blank, lined or squared as per your preference. For those wondering if it is worth the 30 quid? It is. Very much. An excellent journal which gives me much pleasure owning and using.

Good for price
I put off buying these for ages due to feeling the quality would be bad but yesterday I ordered the A5 / A6 and the passport size . All 3 came today and whilst they aren’t the best you can buy, for the price these really are ok . My favourite is the A5 and the passport but I’ll keep the A6 too . They are a bit stiff so I put some neutral shoe polish on them and just rolled them for a good few minutes - makes a big difference, softens them and gives a bit of character . Overall very good for the price point .

This is wonderful!
Just received this through the post now and opened it. It is beautiful. It feels lovely and I have just popped in my moleskine A5 which fits perfectly. Really, really impressed and fantastic value for money when you consider other similar products. Absolutely love it and I’m sure it will last me for years! Thank you for getting this out promptly and it really is a lovely product.

A6 for pocket Moleskine ❤️
I love it. After seeing vids on YT I decided to buy the A6. It holds a daily moleskine and a week on one page notes on the other Moleskine. Plus a hard backed note book. I'm using the bands to hold it all in. So I can still use the side pockets. I paid £25.99. Well made. Leaves a slight edge around the inserts. The pocket size would have more of a snug look around the pocket moleskine. I can put tabs on my inserts and it's still OK. Leather pen loop if you want to use it. Gorgeous and a great Xmas present to me :) and the smell of the leather hmmmm

Great notepad - and holds an ipad mini too!
This Travler's Notebook cover is hands down my favourite. I am a hybrid journaler using both paper and digital. My 2021 iPad mini fits perfectly in the the inner pocket (I no longer use the Apple cover) with the Apple pencil attached too. It closes well and fits into my bag with ease.I use the Wanderings Travel Journal inserts (A5 size - blank) that can be found on Amazon and they are held perfectly in place.The spine of the cover is pretty stiff when new, but with a little handling, it's starting to softens up very nicely.The stitching is neat and even and should hopefully last for years (decades?!)Mine did have a strong leather smell when it first came out of the packaging (also well packaged!) but that has subsided quite a lot.This cover ticks a lot of boxes and highly recommend it!

Surprisingly excellent at any price, a steal at $25
TLDR; Recommended, if you are considering this, or on the fence - purchase it, you are unlikely to regret it!Pros:Price, features (Card/organizer slots, pen loop, reinforced spine) - oh, and because the closure loop comes out the spine, there is no 'hot spot' rubbing against my leg if I carry it in my pocket (my midori would rub a hole in my leg if I put it in with the back cover towards my leg.) Fits the Field Notes notebooks!!!Cons:Slightly too small pen loop, Stitching is almost certain to wear through and come apart, eventually, one-piece insert cord. Fairly thick/chunky - not gonna be your wallet if you are wearing suit pants!I have a passport size traveler's cover old enough to be stamped Midori on the back - so probably 10-12 years or so? I have only carried it with me regularly for a portion of that time, for several reasons. Changing needs for my wallet and it's capacity, etc. I dabble in (bad) hobby leather working, and part of me has always wanted to improve upon the basic Midori cover design (It is, after all, simply a piece of leather folded over with some holes punched through it for elastic cord.) It has never been enough of a priority, for me, however, to sit down and lay out all the pieces, and then cut and stitch the leather, etc. And knowing my skills and patience, the finished product *might* be usable, but would certainly not be pretty!So, I stumbled upon this on Amazon. Sat on it for a week or so, and finally broke down and bought one. I paid almost 20 dollars just to replace the silly clip-on pen holder for my traveler's (which I dug out of retirement as I wanted to start carrying a notebook again) - so for the price of a fairly essential accessory, you get an unexpectedly nice alternative with most, if not all, of the upgrades I had considered trying to make on my own.First: This is big enough to take Field Notes notebooks! YEAH! Yes you can stuff them into a Midori cover, but they stick out, get bent up and mangled and messy and gross and just yeah. Now, the holes are spaced for the passport size notebooks, and the top and bottom edges of the field notes book are EXACTLY even with the edges of the cover. Zero wiggle room. BUT, the band still holds it in nice and snug, and the critical part - the open long side (across from the spine) is more than deep enough to cover the edges of the FN. I wouldn't go much wider than that, but it fits nice.Second: This has FOUR interior elastic bands for holding inserts. No need to rubber-band hack your cover to add extra inserts (though that would still work here if you wanted to get crazy.) This is a net win, and I am pretty happy with it, though it does also encompass one of my few niggles: the spine is reinforced (on the outside of the cover) with an extra layer of leather. This stiffens and reinforces the spine (presumably the point!) but also makes it rather 'chunkier' than a regular midori cover. With the same contents, my midori was approximately half as thick as this cover, so more sleek in the pocket. Something to bear in mind if you have tight pants, or need the slimmest possible package - this won't be it. However, at least in standard fit slacks, I had no problem putting this in my front hip pocket, and it was only a little more bulky than some wallets I have carried. Minor nit two - One piece of elastic cord, wound through all the holes, to make the four attachment loops. If one of them breaks or frays, they all break. I would have preferred individual cords, though I can also understand why they made the design choice they did - one knot, inside the cover, easily adjusted to be 'out of the way' with a cleaner outside look and feel.Third: The pockets/card slots/ organizers/etc. : Here I think they exceeded even what I would have done. Not only is there a full height pocket on both the front and back covers, but a pair of card pockets on the inside of the front cover as well (or back, I suppose, if you prefer to use it that way). Adding a double layer of pockets to the cover without it being super thick and bulky is something I would have struggled with, or failed at - but this is done very nicely. The pockets/slots are all well sized, easy to slide cards/etc. in and out without struggling, but not so loose that they don't hold contents securely. It seems likely that they may stretch over time, and perhaps be less effective then, but the pockets hold my cards snugly enough that I actually doubt that will be a problem.Quality: Overall, and especially given the price, excellent. The leather used is attractive, dyed in a pleasant deep shade of brown, and has a nice look and feel to it, that suggests it will only improve as it ages and takes on 'patina'. The edges are not burnished (which is not a surprise at this price point. The fact that the Traveler's covers, at a much higher price point, are also not burnished is more surprising.) Also, the stitching is machine done, without being sunk into any kind of stitching groove. So, the stitching will eventually wear, and once any one of the stitches break, the rest will unravel fairly quickly afterwards. That can be repaired, when (not if) necessary, with some thread and needles and a few youtube videos about saddle stitching!Final feature: Built in pen loop! This is probably the thing that most held me up on making my own design - trying to figure out how to mount a pen loop out of the way and securely. They went with the simple, but functional expedient of sewing a loop of leather to the inside edge of the cover. This is another minor niggle for me - as I expected, the loop is a bit small for most fountain pens. If you tend to use a pencil or ballpoint, you will likely be fine (mechanical pencil, or a pencil with a clip like the Faber Castell Perfect Pencil, also recommended!) but fountain pens tend to be a bit fatter, and vary widely in diameter.So far, my vintage Skylines fit very nicely, but if you don't happen to have a collection of fountain pens from the 1940's, the ones I have tried so far are thus:Jinhao 100 - Pen body fits, cap does notTwsbi Diamond 580 - Body fits, cap does notLamy Safari (and Al-Star, etc) - Body fits, cap does not (barely!)Noodler's Konrad - Body fits, cap does notNoodler's Ahab - Just no.Platinum Preppy - YesNoodler's Charlie - YesJinhao Shark Pen - Yes (except the fin)$5 pen from Daiso - Yesvintage Parker 51 (and also most if not all of the clones, homages, inspired by's, etc.) - YesPilot MR (metropolitan) - YesPilot Varsity - YesCheap Chinese disposable fountain pens from Amazon (Varsity clones, they work nice, may hand them out instead of candy this year for Halloween!) - also YesI made this list (and a long review even longer!) so the folks who like to carry an inexpensive fountain pen with their notebook have an idea what may or may not fit, but also to offer some tips if your pen does not fit.1. You can add a new loop. Either sewn in, or a Midori style clip on (which also have a reputation of being a bit on the small/tight side, as well as their price) or some other add on pen loop you find on the internets or make.2. You *may* be able to gently wet the leather pen loop (try to ONLY wet the pen loop, and not the rest of the cover, or it will likely water stain the leather) and gently stretch the leather with the pen that you want to carry. This may make the already fairly thin leather too thin and weak, and cause it to break/tear/cause Armageddon. Try at your own risk!3. Carry a pen/pencil that does fit, and carry a separate pen sleeve (something you will have to do anyway if, like me, you like to have both a pen and pencil, or multiple pens, handy)4. Flip the cover over. The pen loop is sewn closer to one of the small edges than it is the middle. So, depending on whether you put the the side with the penloop as your "front", or the side with the card slots in front, the loop will either be at the 'top' or the 'bottom' end. So several of the pens I listed above could have the bottom end of the barrel put into the loop, and the elastic cord around the middle will help hold it in place. This only really matters if you care about 'up' and 'down' i.e. don't want the pen upsidedown in your pocket. If you throw it in a purse or backpack, you can just stick the pen in whatever way fits and not worry about the orientation of your cover.There you go, massively too much information, but that is my analysis of the cover. I may look at picking up a couple of their A5 covers if they are as nice as this!
