EvZ 7-Inch Refillable A6 Binder Notebook - Premium Vegan Leather Personal Planner, Eco-Friendly Journal with 6-Ring Loose-Leaf System for Writing, Business, and Creative Sketches, Coffee

I love this vintage journal. I ordered the large size, dark green color. It is large only relative to the smaller sized journal and is more of a diary sized journal than a full sized notebook, but that is what it meant to be, a durable, personal sized vintage type journal. While it is made from imitation leather, it is high quality and has the feel and durability I would expect from a genuine leather product but at a reasonable price. This journal has a wonderful hand feel to it, from the soft suede feel of the cover to the lovely light brown tinted paper with a vintage appearance and feel. I write in mine using fountain pens with different colors of ink as well as sketch on occasion. I like that the pages are thin enough to feel like pages not craft paper, yet they are thick enough that the ink doesn't bleed through so I can use both sides of the page. I love the method of closure, where The cord with the sun token wraps around the journal. I figured out that when I wrap the cord in a particular way, and use the anchor token as shown in my picture, I can tell if someone has been peeking in my journal as I always wrap it a certain way that seems difficult for others to copy exactly. I am not sure if this is the original intention for the sun and anchor tokens, but it works for me and while it doesn't lock, it can be used to close your journal in a way that you can probably tell if it has been tampered with. I could't find any other obvious use for the anchor token as it is obviously meant to be on the outside of the journal and is too short and bulky for a bookmark. I still have no clue about the reason for the slits in the cover that I have seen some call a holder for credit cards. I couldn't use the slits for a pen holder and it makes no sense to me that a vintage journal would have a place to hold credit cards. The best I could figure for the slits might be to allow the book to close easily without bunching. I bought vintage paper refills for this as well and wrote a separate review for that item in addition to this review. Overall, I find this vintage journal more than meets my expectations and I look forward to writing in it every time I pick it up. I give this vintage journal a solid five star rating and will buy it again.

I love it!

This little 3-ring binder looks like an old, weathered leather notebook and that's exactly what I wanted. The cover material (NOT real leather) is flexible and feels good in the hand, and has been tough enough for me to jam the notebook into a backpack or tote bag with no visible damage. The rings open & close easily but stay shut when they're supposed to, and standard A6 size paper fits perfectly. I have a fat fountain pen stuck into the slot on the side flap but the notebook still closes nicely and stays closed when I wrap the leather thong around it. I ended up removing the little metal anchor from one end of the leather thong (it kept getting in my way) by untying the thong, then re-tying it once the anchor slipped off; I've left the ship's wheel in place because it helps keep the notebook closed. The only complaint I have so far at that the cover is still new just stiff enough to hold its shape, so it tends to curl up & get in the way when I'm trying to write; a little gentle reverse folding is all that I usually need, and I expect this (minor) problem to ease as the cover ages & becomes even more supple. The only other caveat is a problem common to every ring binder I've ever owned of any size: the page at the very back of the book often gets pulled askew, but so far only one page has actually pulled completely loose. If you're looking for a small, easily refillable notebook with the look of an old-style classic leather-bound journal, this product fits the bill! ADDENDUM/UPDATE: I have no idea why I said this is a 3-ring binder, aside from the fact that I was arguing with a large 3-ring that had popped open just before writing my review. This journal is, of course, a SIX-ring binder (2 sets of 3 each). The rest of my review stands as originally written. Sorry for the confusion!

I have many journals and diaries. As a writer, I still love to put pen to paper rather than type all of the time and enjoy different types of journals and notebooks. This one is cute. It doesn't look like real leather to me nor does it feel like it. It's thin and a bit stiff. But that's fine. It still looks cute and the nautical styling is fun. I got this in dark brown. The pages are blank and a kind of cream/yellow color. They're thick and look a bit vintage. I am not a fan usually of unlined paper because I can't write straight but I bought this for sketches, scribbles, and just for fun. I like that I can buy refills and have. I bought a refill of lined paper although I also purchased a similar journal with lined paper in it. I think I paid around $7.99 for this small but ample journal and I am satisfied with it. It looks just as pictured and is compact enough to carry around with me if I want to but large enough that I can actually use it for more than just writing a couple of lines per page. Definitely a good value and I probably will pick up another color if the price remains low.

I ordered this as a gift to cheer up a friend who loves sketching during hikes and had lost her favorite hike-sketchbook recently. It was a plus that she is a big fan of Harry Potter - this journal looks a little like Tom Riddle's diary! Needless to say, she loved it! ✓ Great quality at a very reasonable price. ✓ Obviously not original leather but has a very authentic feel to it! ✓ Pages are not pure white but rather off white. While my friend loved this antique feel (she loves sketching on different materials); if you are looking to buy this for a person who is very specific about sketching on plain white paper, this product isn't for you! ✓ Binder type journal. This means you can add more pages to this! ✓ The wrapping threads, anchor bookmark and star were all of good quality and were extremely cute. ✓ Makes a good gift! Especially for writers, artists, antique lovers and Harry Potter fans ( PS. Combine this with a quill and ink bottle, they are bound to fall head over heels! ). ✓ The compass engraving in the front was very well detailed! My review: An excellent product at a very reasonable price. Well detailed! Loved it!

I got this for my boyfriend who likes to draw and take notes. I got the 5" Coffee because I thought it'd be a nice size to put in his pocket or bag and not be too much of a clutter. And I was right. It's just a tiny bit big for a pocket, but fit in my own bag perfectly while not taking up almost any room. The emblem on the front really shines in lighting and isn't really noticeable outside of that, but I don't mind because it looks great when a light hits it. It arrived 2 days after ordering, was in great condition, wrapped nicely, the string was tight around the book, no scratches on the leather or tears in the paper. The paper also doesn't have any lines in it which was great because apparently that's hard to find on Amazon. If you want something that's nice and simple, looks professional and is easy to carry, get the 5" Coffee. I really enjoy the look and I know he will too.

First of all, I would like to note that since this notebook is under $10, I didn't expect much. Second of all, a list of the Pros and Cons are at the bottom, for quick review (in case you would not like to read the whole review). I bought this book in the 'coffee' color. The color itself bears some resemblance to actual coffee, but is not as dark. The material catches the light in certain conditions, and the picture (of the product) shows that correctly. The material that the book is made out of is a man-made material that looks like leather (it is NOT LEATHER), but is really cardboard covered in a material that is kind of hard to describe - feels like cardboard (ish); on the inside it feels like a piece of felt that had most of the felt removed, and now it is not as soft but it is not hard. On the outside, the material is quite flat, shiny, and kind of boring. It feels plastic-y. If you look closely, you will see lines that resemble leather. The decal is a compass with lots of detail - it has the main 4 arms and some extra arms that are shorter. It looks like a compass rose you could find on a map, which is the point (I think, what else could it be?). I have seen some people (in the review section) having trouble that their decal is not aligned in the center, but I did not experience this problem. It seems that the company who is producing this notebook has stepped up their quality control, as mine was aligned correctly, and many others were aligned correctly (this data is based on what I have seen in the review section). There are 2 flaps - one is the big one with the decal, and the other, smaller (I would say about 2 x 7, but I'm only guesstimating here) flap. The smaller flap has 2 diagonal holes (you must poke them out on delivery) - I think they are for holding your pen/pencil/writing instrument. There are also vertical holes. I don't know their function, though as speculated in the question section (it could be the review section) that it is for a wallet, or something like that. The idea that the holes are for a wallet is improbable, because things don't tend to stay in the vertical holes. The bindings are simple, yet effective. The strap used to hold the notebook together (making sure the cover won't spring open) is the same material as the cover. It is effective, and it is the one that holds the steering wheel (?). The strap the holds the anchor is long enough to use as a book mark, but the anchor itself is too fat for that purpose. Both trinkets are 'washed' (washed is a term that means to cover an object with a specific color so that gravity pools it to a certain place that makes it look worn - at least, that is what I know of it, I apologize if the definition is incorrect) to look like bronze or copper (more likely bronze) and are made of a metal (I don't know which metal). Sometimes they make noise if you are carrying it around. Moving inside, the paper is connected to the notebook by a 6-ring binder clip. This means that if you wish, you can add more paper, or get refills if you run out of paper. Starting out, the notebook can hold more paper. The paper itself is a tan color, and feels thinner (to me) than regular printer paper, but is more durable. The tan paper (I could say browned) fits in well with the nautical theme. I don't know where to get refills, but If you poke around enough, I'm sure you'll be able to find some (meaning I forgot the link, I have been to the page where you can get refills). I have no complaints with the paper. Overall, this book is extremely good for just $7. While it does have its drawbacks (the material, strange holes..), it is great overall, and I would definitely recommend it. Pros: = $7 = Durable construction = Good color - doesn't fade, to my knowledge = Trinkets are nice - fits in with the nautical theme (Ship's Wheel, Anchor) = Paper can be taken out or added at will = Paper is nice quality = Bindings are nice - they don't come apart, work well with the theme = Compass decal is nicely designed - lots of detail Cons = The material that is made for the cover is plastic-y. Definitely man-made, and definitely NOT LEAHER (Don't be tricked) = Anchor is too fat to be used for a book mark = Might have a problem with the compass decal being off-center = Strange holes that don't have a use (or completely known function) NOTE: The notebook (as stated in the 'title' for the product) is 5 x 7 inches. This means that it is slightly larger than a mass-market paperback. I don't know if you plan to put it in your pocket, but it might not fit (depends on how big your pockets are)

this was a gift & my son for his bible journaling...He loved it. it has a nice authentic aged look & pages are of nice weight & quality..it is as described by seller..

Produto muito bonito, com bom acabamento.

This is presented beautifully. The note paper inside is just perfect.

Exactly as described/pictured. Nice rustic cover; textured old-fashioned paper inside is great for sketching or notes. Attached twine with metal trinkets attached make for gorgeous bookmarks. So much character; great throwback gift for our “over-teched” kids!

Great gift for a traveller
