Midori Traveller's Notebook Black Leather

Amazing notebook which opened me a new level of writing!

I loooove it so much. I can’t express how beautifully it has been designed. It’s so simple, but the concept is just amazing, and it’s like what I’ve been looking for in a book/journal/diary for so long. I know it’s just a simple leather cover, but I think the minimalist design, especially using the real leather with the minimalist colours, really add to the aesthetic. And the simple stationery that goes along with the journal, like the different kinds of notebooks, the card folders, and organisation folders of sorts is so impressive. I love that idea. Also, I know this can probably be done with any other kind of notebook/cover but this just draws a different kind of attention. Lol. I also want to assure that although I haven’t used it for long enough to actually give an updated review, so far, it has been holding up super well and longs very durable and long-lasting. To be honest, I’ve only use the normal-sized one and not the passport size yet, but I could say the same review for both. If you’re thinking about it, just go ahead! Just invest in this one rather than the other cheaper copies. You would be able to use this one for years.

I think I am the first one to write a review from India. First a word about the seller. The seller is quite responsible. Whenever I had a question and tried to contact him, they replied. They promised to deliver it by 08th and did it. However, I ordered for brown colour but they delivered a blue colour traveller's note book. Now about the TN book. It's a beautiful peice and complete value for money. Got it during Amazon Diwali sale.

Love my journal already, it’s great just to hold and have, but also as a practical tool for my writing.

This was my very first travelers notebook and it’s my favorite to this day. I now have every single standard and passport size color and this is my favorite. The leather feels like leather should. Other colors have a sort of velvety feel to them which is nice but the brown is smooth and feels like you’d expect leather to feel like. It will get scratched up as you use it and eventually it’ll take on a character of its own. After a year with this notebook being carried back and forth with me to work and around the house I have to say that it looks very distinct. It looks like MY notebook and bears the scars of being thrown in bags, carried in larger coat pockets and generally being used heavily by me. It’s a very wabi-sabi thing. After a year you’ll notice that the leather gets a little darker and shinier from being handled and the scratches are still visible but are smoothed over. I want to be clear about the scratches: they look good and give this notebook character. They definitely don’t look like defects and they will likely help you bond with the notebook as you’ll be the only person with a Travelers Notebook that looks exactly the way yours does. The notebook is also infinitely customizable. Of course you can add all sorts of inserts as you please but the real self expression comes when you realize that you can do things like change the color of the elastic bands, add additional bookmarks, and even cut more holes to run more elastics through the cover if you don’t like the idea of multiple notebooks sharing the same elastic. At first I was in love with this notebook because of how beautiful it was and wanted to keep it looking pristine. After a year I find the beauty of this notebook comes more from the functionality and it’s ability to allow to me to customize it so I can use it the way That works best for me than from any beauty that you see when it’s brand new. Both new and used, the Travelers notebooks have a certain charm to them that isn’t for everyone but if you’re looking at this flap of leather with an elastic enclosure and see a beautiful object then don’t hesitate and buy one. You won’t regret it.
