moonsterLeather Journals for Women for Writing - Flower Journal, Refillable Leather Bound Journal - Vintage Leather Notebook Journal, 320 Lined Pages A5 with Metallic Grey and Rose Gold Luxury Pen

Probably one of the most beautiful journals I've gotten in awhile. Such a wonderul addition to my collection. Mine is slightly darker which I 100% love! The leather is thick, smells divine, and the work put into the design is stunning. Feels so good in my hands and doesn't feel cheap and its not to flimsy. This is definitely going to be my new everyday whatever journal. The fact that it's refillable is such a huge bonus. You can buy more inserts from the company or find other ones on amazon. The pen is nothing special. Looks pretty though but its basic. It's free so can't complain to much. The paper itself is a bit on the thin side. I tested my favorite fountain pen and it did bleed just slightly...if you press hard while writing or you use a heavier ink you may experience more bleed through so finding a good insert that fits what your going to be using it for is something to consider. Overall this is a stunning journal for the price and I can't wait to put it to daily use. 10/10 recommend

This journal is so beautiful, well made, the leather is phenomenally lovely, and an heirloom piece I could pass along to one of my grandkids. Well worth every penny I paid for it! I bought 4 or 5 for gifts at Christmas and waited for this one to come back in stock for my self! Love it! It's awesome to be able to buy refill journal books to go inside! You will not regret this purchase! Buy it!

Pros:*The cover is real leather.*The tooling looks exactly as pictured.*The texture is deep and feels nice when carried.*The cover is sturdy and holds up well to abuse.*It has a lovely leather smell that isn't pungent or odd in any way.*Oh, my gosh, it is gorgeous!Neutral:*The paper is meh. It's paper. It works, but there isn't anything that stands out about it.*The pen holder is on the large side, so I use a pen with a clip to hold on to the holder.Cons:*Nothing comes to mind.Would I recommend this to a friend? Absolutely! It makes a beautiful cover for my Hobonichi A5 Techo. It does fit my Techo loosely (fine for me, but those who want a snug fit might not love it). I've been using this for about six months and it has held up well to daily use. I didn't include a picture because a) the product picture is accurate and b) I've gotten some water on it, so it has some pale areas that I didn't feel represented the excellent condition it was in when new.

Great quality leather! It didn't have a bad odor and was the perfect gift. I am pleased with the price and love the size.

I’m trying my best to ignore the bend but it’s def well made! The leather is supple and it has a nice firm yet flexible design (which somehow makes the bend a little more annoying to me .n.) as said, the pen is cute but basic. I’ve used a nice .38 sharpie gel pen and I do feel like, while it doesn’t bleed entirely, it’s getting there. I’m not quite sure if I’m personally heavy handed, though. It looks like the paper is def designed for the pen it comes with, so may have to be careful with the paper.As a leather enthusiast, I do like the quality, but I may give the bend a few days to see if it grows on me or if it will drive me nuts (a me thing)

The leather is soft and the notebook is a good size for me. I love the embossed design on it. I switched out the one it comes with for a dot grid moonster notebook. The pen it comes with is nothing special. Which is okay since I have thousands of pens I prefer using. I like the closure with the pen loops. If you wanted you could add an elastic band if it gets too chunky to close via the loops. As far as value goes, I got it on sale or otherwise I wouldn't have sprung for it. It came in a box and would make a nice gift for someone. Because the leather is soft it's not very sturdy at the corners so it won't protect your notebook from bent edges but it will keep the cover clean and dry. It's functional and pretty. The paper is average quality and not very thick, but I'm not a fan of the lines, hence the choice to switch with dot grid. Only 4 stars because I would've preferred a blank or dot grid notebook but it wasn't an available option when I purchased it.

This journal is a beautiful tooled leather that feels like something I’ve had for years. The pen is a nice touch.

I’m in love!! Since buying something from moonster, I’m a convert! I’ve since bought 3 more leather goods from them. Quality leather and a beautiful notebook. I bought one then another a week later. Very happy with my product. I’ll burning them and on Amazon again.
