CooLeathor Large Notebook Journal - Genuine Leather Journals for Writing A4 Size Diary 8x10 Inch, Notepad For Women and Man, Gifts,Work,Travel Dark Blue

This journal is absolutely gorgeous. The leather feels high-quality and durable, and it has that classic, timeless look that only gets better with use. The paper is thick and writes smoothly without bleeding, which I love. It’s perfect for journaling, note-taking, or even as a thoughtful gift. Definitely one of those pieces that feels special every time you pick it up.

We purchased two of these for our 2024 motorcycle travel his & hers journals. The pictures and the actual item look and feel like something from an Indiana Jones movie. I didn't bring my normal journal when riding solo in 2023 because I wanted something more resilient to normal camping & travel abuse. This journal looks up to that task. I travel in all weather and plan to store it in a plastic bag. But I desired extra protection,and therefore applied a homemade wax&oil leather/wood treatment on mine. The outside leather seems unchanged. But the inside surface and edges are no longer just raw untreated leather. During application I slid the sewn in paper stack inside of a plastic bag. Letting the wax&oil sink into the leather for about an hour before wiping off any remaining with a paper towel. The paper towel came away with chestnut stains from the leather die. The plastic remained on overnight, then a sheet of laser printer paper was placed between the sewn in pages and leather. That test went well and no wax, oil or die leached into the front or rear sewn in pages. The only stain on the sewn pages occur near the binding where the plastic bag pulled away while I was wiping on the wax&oil. Like any tanned leather I suspect this will stain things if it gets wet. Hopefully I have reduced that staining by treating the leather. Best case it just never gets wet. Nobody should be expect it to be waterproof. But it's so rugged you'll be tempted to take it canoeing, where anything is possible. I am satisfied that it's real leather, of substantial quality, and worth the money spent on it. If you've read the reviews you might be worried it's fake leather. I don't believe it is. It may not be top grain leather, but my two samples are a decent thickness of uniform leather. Neither one very distressed looking out of the box. I almost went with another brand because the binding on this "looked like leather" in the photos. It is actually bound with a heavy waxed thread, not leather. This is a good thing, because the thread will hold up better than a leather cord would. The idea of removing the booklets and rebinding held some interest for me. It would be kind of fun to do that just to see how the great looking binding is done. Blank books are available in bulk, so sourcing them is possible. Note that each of the sewn in booklets have no staples or covers on them. So after unbinding these pages would need to be either stapled or rebound into another "book cover".

Awesome notebook with perfect size for everyday carry, the materials feels like their decent quality making it pretty sturdy. It’s honestly a good bang for the buck while adding character to an everyday item. Haven’t had any issues with it bleeding through or rubbing onto other items in my daily bag

I judge a notebook by how well the paper handles fountain pen ink. Not only did it handle my fountain pen ink well but there was no feathering, ghosting, or bleedthrough (see photo). I used a Pilot Kakuno, medium nib with the Pilot sepia ink cartridge. The red burgundy leather is stunning. It's not cheaply made. The size of the notebook is perfect to take with me every day. This is one purchase I made with zero regrets and the price point is reasonable.

Quality soft leather and great paper quality. Not very easy to write on both sides of the page. Awesome and stylish to carry around. Feels luxurious.

Would be a WONDERFUL gift for a new graduate! Any gender, and any age. Looks like it will be a wonderful keepsake. Or a gift for any purpose, any time. I really love to BUY and COLLECT journals, but have trouble actually writing in them. I say this so you know that I have purchased far too many journals in my life time and I LOVE these that are leather, made by hand or look like they are made by hand. I have bought so many, but when they have arrived they were disappointing - thin paper, falling apart. THIS JOURNAL, though, is AMAZING! It FEELS so nice in my hands, the paper is nice and thick so my nicer pens won't bleed through, it is lined, but the lines aren't too dark, so it will be nice to write on. This journal feels like something that you could keep and use for years and will last. Makes me think of old books handed down for generations, or a travel journal that someone has kept for a life time. This journal is not refillable, the page signatures are stitched into the spine, but the signatures allow the book to lay fairly flat for writing on. Also, gotta say - I love the sticker the seller puts on the box, too. It is a simple little thing, but I just love it. Make it feel small business, and like the customers really matter to the seller.

I bought this journal (red, smallest size) recently, and I have to say, I love it! It is high-quality, beautifully made, and worth the price. The cover is genuine leather, and the pages are heavy-duty. The (attached) cord that wraps around this book makes it perfect as a travel journal because it provides expansion potential for items you may wish to insert between pages (tickets, photos, receipts, dried flowers, etc.) You can find less expensive notebooks, but this is a good value for what you get.

Good leather, and it even comes with a free pen. I use this to journal my dreams, and it is worth the price for what you’re getting. Pages are an interesting color too, it has a brownish tint to it which makes it very enjoyable to write on. Finally, the packaging it came in was very nice. There was a sticker that read “Your purchase made my day. I hope this package makes yours!” Which made unboxing it an actual neat experience unlike other packages I’ve ordered overall. This kind of stuff makes me want to buy again in the future for sure.

Davvero ben fatto.

Pen was niet goed gesloten dus was uitgedroogd, maar ging vooral om het notitieboek en daar kon ik niet blijer mee zijn.

Tapa de cuero flexible, un montón de páginas bien encuadernadas de un color muy agradable, mejor que en blanco para mí, suaves líneas... Más bonito que lo que creía.

Great quality! I used my wood burning tool to put the initials of the recipient on the front. SO LOVELY!

Très belle qualité du papier. Le cuir prend les marques mais cela me paraît normal. Franchement sympa comme article.
