Wanderings A5 Travelers Notebook/Handcrafted Genuine Leather Journal - 6"x8.5"/15cmx22cm. This Refillable Travel Journal is Rugged Enough to Capture All Life's Adventures. 100 GSM Blank Inserts

I got this so I can take notes at work and draw if I need to. Being able to have the different types of paper is nice, and I like the leather. No smell, great color and very sturdy!

Well made and I enjoy the craftsmanship. I recommend if you enjoy journaling.

This is a great leather journal. I love that you can replace the paper inside using the elastic band that holds it in place. (there are 3 paper inserts). The leather is smooth and I can tell it's going to age in a beautiful and unique way. The paper is really thick and can take any kind of pen or ink. The Wanderings logo on the front cover is very classy. It's also the perfect size -- not too large, but not so small that you can barely fit a sentence across the page.

This leather journal cover is fantastic. I am very much a minimalist in my style and love how simple but quality the design is. The leather is a beautiful mid-tone brown (slightly lighter on the inside of course) and it patinas beautifully.However, this leather does not appear to have been treated with anything to keep it from scratching super easily and just 'weather proofing' it from wear and tear. I bought some leather moisturizer and sealer for the edges to make it tougher against my daily abuse as well as rounded the edges more with a leather tool to stop it catching on things as easily.Other than that I would be nice to have one more elastic loop for inserts but that can easily be modified by adding them on later.I give this cover an 8/10 as it's a great cover but it's just missing the final touches that could make this a top seller. If you're not afraid of a little DIY this would be a great cover for you.

Beautiful quality and workmanship! So many different ways to use!

Exactly what it was expected to be. Soft leather will definitely develop charter with time and use.

My wife asked me to find this for her and some individual collections of her devotionals. (She is a writer of said devotionals.) She is impressed with the quality and the size is perfect. Now it will be a go-to item when I need something to round out the seasons of gift-giving (birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries).

So many reviews indicate that this notebook is perfect. They’re right if all you want is a leather travel journal, but in paying less you do receive a lesser quality option than one of the more premium brands or a custom craft notebook.The leather is soft and smooth - in the first week I managed to get a crease in it by placing it in my bag wrong. The crease came out with some leather moisturizer and lying flat over night. The notebook seems to have a sweet spot at around 3-4 64-page softcover notebooks. If you’re using larger notebooks (128 pages) then you may only be able to fit about 2-3. While wiping down with a damp cloth I noticed the dye rubbing off, so I suspect that it may not have been sealed.After using for about a week I started modifying it by rounding the edges and burnishing with beeswax to improve water proofing. I also applied a wax to the cover to improve the water resistance and hopefully help seal the dye until I have time to seal the dye properly.Overall this is a bargain bin piece. You are effectively paying for the labor of cutting the piece, but it gives significant room for end users to customize to their liking for a unique piece.Note: The photos taken after working on the leather. Only the band on the elastic was untouched.
