newestor Refillable Leather Journal Travelers Notebook - 8.5 x 4.5 Travel Diary with 5 Inserts + Pen Holder and Binder Clip, Standard Size, Brown

I recently purchased this journal after watching several videos about the Travelers Notebook. Initially, I was unsure if I would consistently use it, so I opted for this more affordable option, despite having bought numerous accessories for it. While I was initially concerned about scratches, I found that many can be easily wiped away with a finger.I am very pleased with this journal. The included accessories are excellent, and even with additional items, the notebook remains compact. I particularly appreciate that it comes with three additional bands already installed. Overall, it is an outstanding journal, and I highly recommend it.After purchasing my journal, I decided to buy one for my daughter. The leather on her journal is not as thick and appears softer and different. I ordered another one, thinking the first might have been a fluke, but the new one was the same. We will see how hers holds up compared to mine.

Affordable travel journal that looks good and is made of real leather. Smelled the leather as soon as I opened it. Comes with everything you need to get started. I’ll be adding calendars and some cotton paper for watercolor. I like that it’s a little wider to accommodate more inserts without them sticking out. The paper is thick enough for my zebra fountain pen not to bleed through. I haven’t tested pen and ink yet. I don’t anticipate any issues. Accessories that it comes with are all useful depending on what your needs are.

Didn't think a scrap of leather, some elastic and some paper would change my life like this, and yet... here we are.Well made, the petina already forming is encouraging, the air of confidence it produces when I slap down a set of notes from a todo list (from another brand's note filler, but we won't go into that, but pro-tip: get the weekly undated planner with todo list on the right hand side, and you'll be surprised at what you get done in life).The size isn't ideal, but honestly, the hyper pocket sized ones aren't ideal either if you wear a suit like I do. But this is perfect for the "Just large enough to not forget, but small enough to tuck in the overcoat pocket, or under the arm" space that just kinda works.At the risk of getting too into things, I started using notebooks like this, because I saw my dad use a daily planner, and after his recent passing, I wanted to leave something tangible and written down, even the mundane "Hair Appt / Oil Change" notes for my own child to see decades from now after my time has gone and it is their time to reflect.

A nice starter kit for those wanting to try out the Traveler's notebook system but don't want to invest in the expensive brand name. Everything here is enough for you to get started without buying extra accessories.The spine gives you four elastics instead of one. Great for adding even more than the included inserts.Leather cover has a very nice smell, decently thick with no cracks or dents. No logos. Small scratches all over on arrival but negligible in the grand scheme of things. The dimension of the one I've gotten seems wider than those I've seen in review pictures. It stretches a good 7mm beyond the inserts (3 notebooks + plastic pocket + kraft folder pocket).Overall, great price for such a quality item. Recommended for anyone who wants to keep track of multiple things in the same notebook system.

The media could not be loaded. My patches touch the leather and when I remove it, it ruin the leather. I can't find a way to fix it. But overall I like how this made. I bought this because it has 4 rubber inside so I can keep 4 notebook if I want too. I was surprised how big the journal too. This is my cheapest journal I bought and I was surprised the size of it very different in what I used to have. I love it. This is just the same journal you can for very expensive. I like how affordable it is and how sturdy it is. I wish they have more color so I will keep buying here.
