EvZ 7-Inch Refillable A6 Binder Notebook - Premium Vegan Leather Personal Planner, Eco-Friendly Journal with 6-Ring Loose-Leaf System for Writing, Business, and Creative Sketches, Coffee

I love this vintage journal. I ordered the large size, dark green color. It is large only relative to the smaller sized journal and is more of a diary sized journal than a full sized notebook, but that is what it meant to be, a durable, personal sized vintage type journal. While it is made from imitation leather, it is high quality and has the feel and durability I would expect from a genuine leather product but at a reasonable price. This journal has a wonderful hand feel to it, from the soft suede feel of the cover to the lovely light brown tinted paper with a vintage appearance and feel. I write in mine using fountain pens with different colors of ink as well as sketch on occasion. I like that the pages are thin enough to feel like pages not craft paper, yet they are thick enough that the ink doesn't bleed through so I can use both sides of the page. I love the method of closure, where The cord with the sun token wraps around the journal. I figured out that when I wrap the cord in a particular way, and use the anchor token as shown in my picture, I can tell if someone has been peeking in my journal as I always wrap it a certain way that seems difficult for others to copy exactly. I am not sure if this is the original intention for the sun and anchor tokens, but it works for me and while it doesn't lock, it can be used to close your journal in a way that you can probably tell if it has been tampered with. I could't find any other obvious use for the anchor token as it is obviously meant to be on the outside of the journal and is too short and bulky for a bookmark. I still have no clue about the reason for the slits in the cover that I have seen some call a holder for credit cards. I couldn't use the slits for a pen holder and it makes no sense to me that a vintage journal would have a place to hold credit cards. The best I could figure for the slits might be to allow the book to close easily without bunching. I bought vintage paper refills for this as well and wrote a separate review for that item in addition to this review. Overall, I find this vintage journal more than meets my expectations and I look forward to writing in it every time I pick it up. I give this vintage journal a solid five star rating and will buy it again.

I love it!

This little 3-ring binder looks like an old, weathered leather notebook and that's exactly what I wanted. The cover material (NOT real leather) is flexible and feels good in the hand, and has been tough enough for me to jam the notebook into a backpack or tote bag with no visible damage. The rings open & close easily but stay shut when they're supposed to, and standard A6 size paper fits perfectly. I have a fat fountain pen stuck into the slot on the side flap but the notebook still closes nicely and stays closed when I wrap the leather thong around it. I ended up removing the little metal anchor from one end of the leather thong (it kept getting in my way) by untying the thong, then re-tying it once the anchor slipped off; I've left the ship's wheel in place because it helps keep the notebook closed. The only complaint I have so far at that the cover is still new just stiff enough to hold its shape, so it tends to curl up & get in the way when I'm trying to write; a little gentle reverse folding is all that I usually need, and I expect this (minor) problem to ease as the cover ages & becomes even more supple. The only other caveat is a problem common to every ring binder I've ever owned of any size: the page at the very back of the book often gets pulled askew, but so far only one page has actually pulled completely loose. If you're looking for a small, easily refillable notebook with the look of an old-style classic leather-bound journal, this product fits the bill! ADDENDUM/UPDATE: I have no idea why I said this is a 3-ring binder, aside from the fact that I was arguing with a large 3-ring that had popped open just before writing my review. This journal is, of course, a SIX-ring binder (2 sets of 3 each). The rest of my review stands as originally written. Sorry for the confusion!

I have many journals and diaries. As a writer, I still love to put pen to paper rather than type all of the time and enjoy different types of journals and notebooks. This one is cute. It doesn't look like real leather to me nor does it feel like it. It's thin and a bit stiff. But that's fine. It still looks cute and the nautical styling is fun. I got this in dark brown. The pages are blank and a kind of cream/yellow color. They're thick and look a bit vintage. I am not a fan usually of unlined paper because I can't write straight but I bought this for sketches, scribbles, and just for fun. I like that I can buy refills and have. I bought a refill of lined paper although I also purchased a similar journal with lined paper in it. I think I paid around $7.99 for this small but ample journal and I am satisfied with it. It looks just as pictured and is compact enough to carry around with me if I want to but large enough that I can actually use it for more than just writing a couple of lines per page. Definitely a good value and I probably will pick up another color if the price remains low.

Produto muito bonito, com bom acabamento.
