Review on Travel In Style: Refillable Leather Notebook Cover For Small Journals by Derrick Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful and Affordable

What a beautiful little notebook!5/5 stars for presentation, honest advertising, and quality.Presentation: it comes in a little linen "slipcase”—like a bag, but no drawstring—which is inside a neat little cardboard box. The linen cover and the box are fitted to the notebook so it’s not sliding around inside. It would make a good gift.Honest advertising: as promised, it comes with one insert and an extra elastic band to hold up to three total. (I used some of my own elastic string and some extra inserts I bought so bought to try it out with four—they fit, but three works better.)Quality: the insert is made of nice paper with a dot grid pattern. Not pure white, it’s more very pale cream, with a brown Kraft paper exterior.The notebook cover itself is very nice. Mine came with no scratches or scuffs (first pic). It WILL scuff, but I like that—I bent the leather a few times right away to give it a more weathered look (second pic). Over time, I’m sure it will wear beautifully. There is a subtle, sweetish leather scent if you sniff it. No strong or chemical-y smell.A couple final notes:1. The photos don’t do the cover justice. I got the light brown and it’s a beautiful, warm, rich color.2. I am a petite woman and this fits in the back pocket of my skinny jeans (albeit with a couple inches poking out).3. It fits 2-3 field note size (3.5” x 5.5”) notebook inserts perfectly.4. It *looks* quite durable; however, as I only just got it, I didn’t feel I could accurately give it a durability rating yet, so I did not.All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase. The quality for the price is phenomenal, and I’m excited to take this charming little notebook on all my adventures. :)
