KomalC Handmade Leather Journal/Writing Notebook Diary/Bound Daily Notepad For Men & Women Unlined Paper Medium, writing pad for artist, sketch (7 x 5, Brown Tan)

The leather is great and the paper is superb , I use mine as a travel book for all sorts of scribble and note taking . I use a fountain pen with it and the paper holds up superbly to even the wettest feed and nib without bleed through . There are no card holders or other pockets or slips , it's just a solid journal . I would suggest it's one of the best at the price . I have cut the thong down and used the offcut to stitch on a bookmark which is super handy . It also looks superb and feels superb .

I bought this to give to my granddaughter who was about to embark on a 6-month-long trip of a lifetime to the South Pacific. She asked me for a blank journal with good quality unruled paper in a leather binding with a leather fastening, not too big as they would be back-packing, and this one fit the bill. She was delighted and now that she is home again she tells me that it was perfect for not only written accounts of their adventures but for sketching and painting.

Forgive the clumsy video, one handed demonstrations aren’t the easiest! I bought this to use for sketching out ideas and plans for my dressmaking. I wanted something beautiful that would make me want to use it all the time and get my ideas out of my head and onto paper! I couldn’t have made a better choice. The leather is so soft to the touch and the suede inside is smooth and not overly textured. Has a lovely patina already and will no doubt improve with age, it marks fairly easily but this is what I wanted and expected. The hand binding is perfectly done, everything feels very secure and I personally prefer that the method used divides the book into smaller sections. I initially had some issues with ordering the wrong colour but contacted the seller and they were incredible, very understanding and attentive and offered to go above and beyond to make sure I got what I was looking for. Truly exemplary customer service. If you’re looking for a great quality rustic leather sketchbook/notebook you’d struggle to find better than this and at a much better price than I’ve found elsewhere. Can’t recommend highly enough!

I don't normally write these, however this product is truly a dream. The soft leather is obviously of quality and feels great to the touch. The plain paper is a perfect for sketching and note taking. There's a distinct smell I adore when opening the book. It's rapidly become one of my most prized possessions and holds all my deepest thoughts and ideas.

Well made journal, real leather and well made.

This is my second time purchasing one of these journals. They're 10/10 incredible. The paper is nice and thick. The cover is flexible but sturdy. Both are being used as junk journals and they definitely serve their purpose. The paper is A5, with the cover closed it’s probably about a cm wider.

A superb product. Arrived securely packed with a lovely note from the sender, Komal Chaudhari, to contact if there were any issues or concerns, along with warrenty. Overall, excellent product and service. Thank you.

A beautiful, classy looking journal. My husband absolutely loves it.

Wasn't expecting much, just wanted to get into Journaling again and this looked just interesting enough to keep my attention long enough to turn into a habit. This thing came in a fancy carrying bag, and it looks fantastic. The paper feels good to write on and the leather is decent quality, especially for the price. It's big enough to write on, but small enough I can throw it in my shoulder bag(and believe me I intend to) to take with me. I've seen quite a few people complain about an odor, but honestly I didn't notice anything offensive, like if I put it right up to my face I could get a faint whiff of leather making smells but it really is like... nose ON the cover close. Honestly my only complaint would be a few more pages would be nice, but honestly that's such a minor complaint and there is still a couple hundred or so pages anyway. Can't wait to use it

Perfect

Honestly spent ages searching online for a good journal. I wanted something I could write, draw and do thought exercises in, something that would make me enthusiastic about making an entry in. And I am not disappointed. The book is lovely, smells like fresh leather, the paper is amazing. This makes me want to make those entries, I feel excited about my next entry.Tips for beginner journal writers:• buy a fun pen, like a calligraphy or fountain pen to make each entry like an art project or give you that historical vibe.• Get a journal that makes you enthusiastic about entering your thoughts.• If you don’t know or are anxious about what to write in your first entry, write about that anxiety or nervousness of making the entry and then record where you work, what you do, where you live, any pets you have, because in a few years you’ll look back and realise how much things have changed, or that pet may no longer be with you.• Writing about the things and people you love, or things that make you feel strong emotion will give you the best value out of your journal, as when we are emotional, writing about it can help us sort through our thoughts and feelings rationally.• Perform some CBT or Stoic thought exercises if you are needing things to write about. These can be of great benefit to your mental health and help you be resilient each day.As a practising Stoic, this diary is an exceptional entry into my arsenal of tools to combat the turmoils of life.This journal, or any handmade by KomalC will surely become a great friend and assist you in your journey.

I didn't want to have a basic cardboard writing book, I wanted to have something special for my use case. When I opened up the package for the first time, I was already impressed that the book came in a nice, classical-style black cotton bag to keep it in. When I opened up the book, I really liked the authentic smell of leather. It set a tone for the book, and the addition of a leather strap to keep it shut, it made it feel like a center peice rather then just an accessory or journal. 10/10, will buy more as I need them, and the craftsmenship is impressive!
