LEATHER VILLAGE Leather Journal-7"X5"-Rustic Brown

I’ve been collecting recipes for home remedies and beauty treatments (like face masks and scrubs) and things for years but in a really random way, so I keep losing track of them. When I finally decided that I wanted to get a notebook to write them all in so I could have them in one place, I immediately thought of this style of journal. It just seemed perfect, since it looks like a classic old journal, and a lot of these recipes have been around that long. I picked this one because it had good reviews and it was exactly what I was looking for. I got it in the brown and it looks just like the photos. It’s definitely real leather and even has that good leather smell. I also really like the binding detail on the spine and the thong that wraps around it. The pages really do look aged too, so don’t expect them to lie completely flat right away. I’m writing in it with a good black pen and haven’t had any feathering or bleed-through. And it has a lot of pages, so I’ll probably never even fill it up! Just bear in mind when you’re ordering that it is a small journal, so if you’re looking for something with bigger pages and don’t check the dimensions in the description then you’ll be disappointed. But if this is the size you’re looking for, like I was, then this is a great journal.

It’s so cute and the perfect size. The binding is superb. I feel like I’m in The Lord of the Rings writing in this leather bound journal. 10/10 would recommend and will possibly get another one after this one.

This is excellent! I love the material and color. The craftsmanship is amazing value for money!

My 11 year old loves this! The cover feels nice and the pages look aged but are firm. I was tempted to buy one for myself!

I absolutely love the look and feel of this journal. The leather has a beautiful rustic appearance that makes it feel like something with a story behind it. It is soft in the hand, the wrap closure keeps everything secure, and the stitching gives it a nice handcrafted touch. The pages have a pleasant vintage look and are thick enough for everyday writing with my gel pens without excessive show through. It lays fairly flat after a little use, which makes journaling much more comfortable. I bought this because I wanted a journal that felt special instead of just another notebook, and this one definitely delivers. It would be perfect for journaling, gratitude lists, travel memories, sketching, or even as a meaningful gift for someone who loves old world style. I am very happy with this purchase and would gladly buy it again. I actually plan on giving one to my daughter for her 16th birthday next week.

This is a great journal or sketch book. I purchased the chocolate brown - great price for a real leather bound, hand stitched journal with so many pages - all natural materials, real leather, hand made paper (?) - simple, pleasant design - well finished - paper is slightly aged/darkened to a pleasant off white, but not yellow or orange, still very light to draw, sketch or journal on it - brown leather is well crafted, color as described (some users report a flat or too light color), minor irregularities desired in this kind of antiqued journals. - I ordered this model and the one with a metal clasp. This one doesn't smell like leather as much, but is equally well done and a beautiful item to hold and to watch. One star off because there is a huge difference in paper quality between this journal and the other model offered by the same maker for a little more money. This was not apparent to me in pictures. This paper is thinner, the edges are straight as if cut with by machine, and it doesn't have any texture. It is also not aged the same way, paper is more even all around in color, and lighter, just barely off white with no grain. It will probably buckle/warp with wet media like watercolor or gouache, and not sure how it would respond to ink or alcohol markers, since it is much thinner than the other seemingly handmade paper form the other notebook. Other than this, a very good, attractive journal with a simple design and excellent for notes and dry materials like pencils, charcoal, chalk, regular pens, oil pastels, collages.

Absolutely beautiful, exceeded my expectations!

Great quality. A great value and very versatile. Will order more.

思っていたより断然良かったです。 袋から取り出した時の感触・・『あ、革だ』 お色は、グリーン。 レビューを参考にしましたが、個性があるようですね。 画像にあるように、とても落ち着き和むグリーン。キレイです。 作りもしっかりしています。 雰囲気もバッチリ！ どんな使い方しようかなぁ〜とワクワクします。 用紙もいい感じですね。 紙のニオイに気になる点はありません。 ただただ、本革のいい香り。 使い込みたくなる感触です。 大事に使っていきます。 たまたま見つけたのですが、 購入して良かったです。 ありがとうございます。

Es hermoso, lo recomiendo para escritura filosofía.

The overall aesthetics is amazing, and i like the way my pen ink looks when i write on the pages

This is exactly as described. It has an excellent antique look and feel. The paper is good quality and the block can easily be swapped out once used. I feel I should mention how incredibly pungent the leather is.

Great product, high quality
