Albero A5 Genuine Leather Journal Refillable – 5x8 Notebook Cover – 360 Lined Pages (100gsm) – Writing Diary Organizer - Vintage Brown Handmade Note Book for Men & Women

I love to journal, and I have an embarrassingly large assortment of journal covers. This one just arrived I’ve tried it out, and I can already tell it’s going to be a favorite.1. Materials: I’m a fan of the look and feel of leather journal covers. The leather quality here is great. I tend to prefer darker colors or just to have more color options, but now that I have it in hand I’m liking this medium tone. I was concerned about the color of the snaps, as I don’t tend to be fond of gold. But in hand the color is more of a muted brass and works perfectly with the warm leather tone. I see a lot of comments about buffing out scratches and dings. You can do this but if scratches bother you this may not be the one for you. Personally I think being averse to scratches misses the of the point of having a nice leather journal cover. Leather has a way of looking better the more you beat it up. Those little scratches and dings give it character and personality. It’s will age with you as you use it and become unique. I love that kind of thing but it may not be for everyone.2. Design: Like most journal covers it has a simple design. But there are a few truly excellent design features that are rocketing this journal up in my estimation. The first is the single strap that holds the journal insert in place. Many other covers use a system of pockets on each cover to hold the covers of the insert. They can be surprisingly difficult to fill, especially if the insert covers are made of softer paper and not as rigid. The strap lets you actually pull the insert cover through. This makes it much easier to fill while still feeling very secure. Because of this feature and the overall dimensions it’s one of the only covers I’ve encountered of this quality that can accommodate fillers with different bindings including spiral bindings if you want an insert that will lie flat. The one it comes with is also of really good quality, but I like having the option of using different kinds of paper. This is one of the main features that drew me to it and it works well. I also really like the flap closure for added security. It’s roomy enough to tuck in an extra small insert (you know who you are, I do it too). And has some front pockets for loose papers etc.3. Style: It’s simple design and quality materials make it look upscale and professional, while having a rustic quality that for me makes it just whimsical enough to have some personality. I can see this working as a planner, a diary, a scratch book, a bullet journal, or even a gaming journal (DnD folks… I think you may like this).4. As much as the simple design and color is appealing. I’d also like to see a few more color options and maybe some subdued design options or the ability to customize it with a logo or initials. But all of this is just a few nice things to have. It’s still fantastic just as it is.Overall this is everything I’ve wanted in a journal cover. Thank you to the fine craftsman who made it. I hope to be using it for many years to come.

A simple but well constructed, soft and supple leather cover. I use it to securely hold two Moleskine journals, along with a pen. Which is exactly what I wanted.

Nice leather with key fob and pen. We purchased this for a USMA cadet who is graduating and it will serve him well to log his military journey.

If you're like me, you find that writing down your ideas sticks better than typing them up on some list. I wanted a notebook that was spiral, had good quality paper to write on, and was portable for on the go inspiration. This is exactly what I got. Originally I was just looking for a notebook, but I saw this cover and couldn't resist. I had been looking at other journals similar but all of them were bound, and honestly I dislike those kind. It came earlier than expected and though I haven't used it much yet (just got it today even though it was delivered Saturday), it looks very sturdy, the paper seems very high quality in terms of thickness, and overall it just looks great. Very rustic.It came with stickers, too! I wasn't expecting that so it was a really nice surprise. The snaps, which I had seen come with a complaint before, seem well put together. Time will tell, and if anything changes soon, I'll come back to amend my review. For now though, I'm very happy with my purchase. The only issue I have (which is more preference than anything) is that I wish they had a spiral journal cover design that looked like the bound cover. I prefer the bound cover more, but this one is still great regardless, just a personal preference. Definitely recommend!

I purchased this for my father as a gift and he loved it! It was very nicely made and has that great leather smell. I would definitely recommend!
