Wanderings A5 Travelers Notebook Refillable Leather Travel Journal, 15x22cm / 6x8.5"- Hand-Crafted Genuine Leather - Perfect for Travelers, Writers, Diary - Blank Inserts

Absolutely lovely cover. True leather with a nice smooth exterior and the traditional fibrous interior. Comes with one hard-wired elastic for attaching notebooks, and one loose one. Between these you can attach 3 or 4 inserts no issue. 3 or 4 is about the limit for this size depending on size of insert. Scratches and patinas well as you'd expect. Included elastic comes with nice brass (or brass effect) type nuts/decorations which are a nice touch. This is a passport notebook which mean it accepts smaller refills. 5x3.5 inches. It does come with several blank ones - the quality is good but you should not buy these refills since it is 9 quid for 3 refills at this specialist size. If you buy standard A6 dotted inserts you can get 16 for 11 quid on Amazon and probably less elsewhere. The price difference is insane. The A6 ones are slightly larger and indeed do peek out from the sides of the leather cover a few mm especially when filled with a lot of inserts but the price difference is impossible to argue with. I love the travelers notebook system - having individual inserts for different purposes is great, and you can add other inserts. I use mine to store cards and cash also to save carrying a separate wallet. I bought this as my first travelers notebook and thought I'd check out the official Midori ones too and was astonished at the price, especially the custom and limited edition inserts you see all the YouTubers have. I'm very pleased that WANDERINGS offers essentially the same thing without the massive markup. I was so pleased with it that I bought another one for my lifting notebook that lives in my gym bag. Means I can have my notebook, pen, gym card, and locker token all in one place as I was forever misplacing these.

Received my A5 leather notebook cover with three plain books, packaging was substantial and no damage at all. Upon opening the cardboard outer I was greeted by a beautiful leather cover, the three books were already inserted and all sat within the cover itself. The leather is very good quality both outside and inside, it gives great coverage to three notebooks with enough overlap to protect them, the notebooks are slightly smaller than other A5 notebooks I have so I will purchase refills from Wanderings...which is no problem as the paper is great, no bleed or feathering when using a fountain pen. I have a few other travellers notebooks from different companies and this is the first A5 one I have bought, I am very impressed with the storage capacity, the materials are excellent quality and the size is great, easier to write in due to the wider pages compared to the Standard size travellers notebooks. Highly recommended!

This is quite a lovely travelers notebook. The leather is supple and soft and scratches easily but I quite like that. Comes with three lovely inserts the paper is great though they are quite stiff to open and they don't open flat. The colour of the leather is slightly different the in the picture. Its more of a yellowish/green undertone then the deep rich brown in the picture. But that doesn't distract from the quality and may change with patina. A wonderful notebook to buy with everything you need to get started

This is a very well made item. The leather is lovely in the outside and the paper quality really nice. I’ve knocked one star off because I wanted leather on both sides. This is definitely leather on the outside but then it has a cotton like coating on the inside. I emailed Wanderings and they said it was to keep it affordable. But I’d have paid more for a thicker leather in both sides.

I'm so happy to have found this! I tried a few, but not many available with this filling string mechanism whereby you can fill it with more than one notebook insert, and the others I tried could not fit standard A5 notebooks in papers I prefer. The quality of this leather journal cover is gorgeous, it's very thick and soft and high quality. It's amazing value for money, especially as it comes with 3 notepad inserts supplied. I didn't want to write on blank paper, so I've just filled it with 3 x A5 Clairefontaine notebooks, which fit perfectly, and above all this is what I eonter a leather cover for. Couldn't find one the right size anywhere else. After I took the 3 supplied inserts out, I found it a bit tricky to work out how to get the 3rd of my books in. The first 2 were easy. Thankfully, they provide a really helpful product video, showing how you fill it, and I was able to work it out after watching that. I enclosed photos. It's absolutely perfect for my needs, and such beautiful quality. This is the 3rd brand I purchased, and the only one which is suitable and wasn't misdescribed for fitting actual A5. Many thanks to the seller for answering my pre-purchase query. I think this is the best leather notebook cover on the market.

I was so thrilled when this arrived - I’d been looking for a large travellers notebook to keep for life, and this is great quality and does the same job as the ones 4x the price. Can’t wait to see how it ages with use and fill it up. I also bought 3 ruled inserts as this comes with plain inserts. Paper quality is lovely. Very happy!

Bought as a gift for my son when he went travelling. He loved it. I got a selection of plain and lined paper so that he could write, doodle and stick things in to create himself a fab keepsake of his travels. Great quality, very stylish design. Easy to add in notepaper and to remove. Great gift. Really pleased with it.

This is a beautiful and adaptable journal. The leather cover is soft and ages well. It will mark, but that's part of the charm of leather. The paper for the inserts is good quality and quite thick - ink hasn't bled through. It's useful that you can fit any A5 size notebook inside if you choose not to use Wanderings own booklets (though I haven't tried that yet). Wanderings provides plain, lined and dotted. Fitting the booklets can be a little fiddly the first time, but there are videos to show you how. The elastic for holding the journal closed seems fairly hardy, but you can buy new ones separately if needed over time. The whole seems quite sturdy so I'm looking forward to years of use.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von diesem Leder-Notizbuch! Das Leder fühlt sich fantastisch an, riecht angenehm und ist hervorragend verarbeitet. Durch die praktische Nachfüllfunktion wird es mich sicher über Jahre hinweg begleiten. Die Größe von 19x25.5 cm ist perfekt für den Alltag und auf Reisen – es bietet reichlich Platz zum Schreiben und Skizzieren, ist aber nicht zu sperrig. Ein echtes Schmuckstück, das ich jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen kann!

Wanderings maakt een topproduct. Het omslagelastiek zit in de rug geknoopt en niet op de achterkant, zodat er geen vervelende bult onder je pagina ligt. Ook hun inserts zijn van betere kwaliteit. Deze boekjes zijn genaaid in plaats van geniet. Het kompas is een leuke decoratie voor een reisverslag, geschikt voor alle soorten reizen.

Great quality leather that feels nice to touch - smooth and soft. It's easy to swap out journal inserts if you want to. Mine arrived with a slight scratch on the cover and the closing elastic a bit loose feeling but otherwise a good journal of a good size.

I've used it for two weeks & really love the rustic look and feel of this TN. One thing i really like is that notebooks from Wanderings are saddle stiched, which is actually not easy to find elsewhere. This is going to be one of those TN I knew I'd adore for years. It comes with a lovely card and is well packaged.

Love it, love it, love it. I use a journal every day, so the look and quality is important to me. The leather has great character - lovely to look at and hold. The journal notebooks are excellent quality, and a pleasure to write in. Makes a fabulous present. Great value!!!
