Leather Journal with Lined Deckle Edge Paper 8×6 inch and Vintage Key | Handmade Writing Notebook Diary | Bound Daily Notepad for Men & Women Medium, Sketch/Writing pad for Artists

Quality Product
I love this journal! It is quality made through and through. From the tightness of the binding the overall feel of it in your hand and as you use it. The pages are awesome to write on. I journal about every 2 days so there’s plenty of pages for future use. I love the look and feel of the pages. Not cheap feeling at all. But great quality. I use a Paper Mate Profile ballpoint bold 1.4MM point pen. It looks awesome on these pages and there is absolutely NO bleed through of the pages. The ornate key is heavy weight metal. It feels substantial in your hand. And I love the grey color. This journal is the perfect size for me. It’s not too small and not too large. It feels quite substantial in the hand. I actually look forward to journaling with this product. I think it’s a great price for what you get. Just 1 thing .. when you first start using it you may find it a bit difficult to turn the pages. But believe me, as you use it you begin to get hang of turning page by page. It you’re looking for old world charm in the modern world, this is the journal for you.

Exactly as pictured
It’s a beautiful journalThe leather is very good quality and evenly thick without thin spots or discolorations.The key is a bit chintzy so I removed that with a bolt cutter and slid in an antler tip instead. It fit perfectly in the loop so it’s very secure.It’s perfectly fine as it is but I chose to clean the leather with the leather honey brand cleaner and then I closed it when it still had the key and basically threw it against the concrete in order to distress it.I took some steel wool to it and I really gave the leather a good working before I cleaned it again and then conditioned it with leather honey.It now looks like it has been passed down for many generations.I will tell you that when I cleaned it the first time there was a bit of bleeding but since I was expecting that from previous reviews I found it to be a good thing. I don’t like my leather to look new.It’s very easy on the hands. Comfort level is high.I was surprised at the quality and find it to be a very good value for the money.I plan on buying more of these as I need them. I’m also looking into stamping the leather for the next one so that each journal will have a distinctive pattern.

Love This Vintage Journal
I have now bought three of these journals one unlined, two lined. The first was for my friend for Christmas. His daughter took it almost immediately so bought two more one for my friend, the other for me. I love the quality, softness and smell of the leather, the thickness of the paper, and the key closure. The paper has that real vintage roughened feel with the deckle edges, adding to the sense of age. Writing using a gel pen there is no bleed through or smudging. With the roughness of the paper ink pens will likely catch. I’ve glued in several charts using just a glue stick. They stuck well and did not affect the paper at all.I’m using this to journal my training for three endurance races this year. When complete it will be a beautiful reminder of the year, much more so than a more typical mass produced journal. Will definitely be using these journals moving forwards.

Really a pretty nice book!
Long and short of it was that this is nice journal, looks very rustic and quite travel worthy. I dinged it one star for a selfish reason. I like to use a fountain pen, but that is a “spotty” idea. The paper is very nice for a BALL POINT PEN, but if you want to do script, there are better writing books available. A script pen will catch every other letter, and splatter. I switched to a Dr. Grip with a medium gel tip, and it work’s beautifully. Had several comments from others, all positive. It’s very portable, fitting nicely between the smaller and larger offerings. It does not lay flat, but still allows me the ability to get complete thoughts into a written line.

Absolutely beautiful! I have bought a few and given them as gifts and give them to employees for their 5 year anniverssary, well appreciated . Th

The product is as described. Good quality for the price, I recommend it!This little note is appreciated; it shows that the seller is passionate!

I’m so very happy with this leather journal! It’s so well crafted and exactly what I was looking for. The book is well assembled and sturdy, I love the vintage look of the pages and the key is a really nice added touch. It also came very well packaged and protected in a material bag first and then plastic packaging over it. A lot of care was put into the creation and shipping of this book, I’m so grateful to have it! This book has character to it and beautiful energy, it feels special. A lot of love was put into this for sure. And also it smells cozy like my grandparent’s house used to smell. 🙂
