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

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.

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

Such a great purchase! This little notebook is perfect and half the price of other options. The wine color is beautiful and rich looking. The book comes already set up with 3 notebooks and pockets. I was thrilled with not having to assemble. It comes with a storage bag. The packaging makes you feel like you're opening a gift. So glad I decided to purchase this option when I was looking to try out a passport size notebook. It feels much more expensive than what I paid.

Love this thing! Well made has room for three notebooks but I don’t care if the notebook comes out so i managed to shove a fourth one in there. One less star because the cover does get scratched very very easily (you could scratch it with your nail) because of the material but I don’t really care gives it character but beware of that if you’re expecting sleek leather. Overall love it I don’t think you’ll regret this purchase. Love the dark maroon color scratches to a lighter red. The 8 x 4 is the perfect size

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.

I bought a lot of these. They are fun to have in your purse. The leather is great. The paper is easy to write on. The colors are amazing. Great price also

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.
