This is *not* made in the USA, like some reviews say. It's handmade in India and the company's contact information is in the UK. I'm not sure why they have a small American flag on the package label. Maybe to indicate where the product is being sold? I'm guessing that's why some people thought it was made here. But it does say "made in India" on the left side of the label. I don't have a problem with that, but I was expecting made in USA because of some of the reviews. That's why I wanted to make that clear in my review (see photos).It's a beautiful journal, which I can see lasting forever with care. Very high-quality leather. The front is stamp embossed, rather than having a different leather glued onto it. I chose this one over their tree-of-life journal because it seems that one has leather glued to it for the design, rather than it actually being stamp embossed.I'm not sure how the (non-refillable) pages will hold up to writing with different mediums. I'm going to be using it as a keepsake sticker album. You can definitely tell it's a tree-free material. The journals with lined paper are different. They are made with parchment paper.I thought I read a review that complained of a strange smell, but I didn't have that problem. It just smells like leather to me. Maybe the plastic it's shipped in is causing a slight smell to very sensitive people? I can see why there would be a chemical smell to a glue-embossed journal, of course. I would personally gift this particular one to anyone without hesitation.
