DESIGNPHIL 15026006 Midori Traveler's Notebook, Passport Size, Black

Traveler’s Company always makes quality products. This passport size tn cover in camel is perfect. Their tn covers always age beautifully. It comes with one notebook.

It’s Travelers Company. It’s simple. It’s perfect.

I love these Travelers Notebooks, especially the passport size. The best part is how they age. I carry mine with me in my back pocket everywhere. This is actually my fifth or something. I have one in every color. One thing that's a bit different about the black than other colors is that it doesn't show wear and aging as much as the browns do. This may be good or bad depending on the aesthetic you like. Of course it will show signs of use as it ages but it stays pretty pristine for much longer. All of my other TNs started to show scratches and had that broken in look starting from about a week in while the black one looks brand new for longer. Again, this is personal preference but just know that the leather is very lightly treated so that it get a patina that's unique to you.Of course you can customize the notebook however you like by filling it with as many notebooks as you like as well as other useful accessories like pen loops and plastic zipper pockets to hold stamps, paper clips etc. For this one I used 2 pocket stickers that I put on the inside front and back cover. I use these to hold loose papers that I can refer to later and quickly. Everyone's TN is different so make it your own.If you're a fan of leather bound notebooks then this is the best you can get. If you've never tried one then this will make you a convert. I always hated leather bound journals and stuck to Moleskines and Field Notes but these TN notebooks just beg you to take them everywhere with you and look good. As a man, I always thought the leather bound notebooks also looked kind of girly but Travelers Notebooks look great, feel great, and are functional no matter who you are.

love it! it’s very small which is what i was looking for but ppl with big handwriting might want to consider that. this comes with 1 blank insert and i took the bands from the packaging to use to attach the other inserts i got. was only able to fit in 3 notebooks and a wallet insert, otherwise i start to get a lot of overhang. the leather feels very soft.i’ve recently been interested in switching my bullet journaling into a different style notebook. TNs look intimidating to me but i’m glad i am trying it out. i decided to do the passport size because i don’t like how on the other ones the height and width don’t match. i wanted a more square one even with the smaller size. i am actually loving the smaller size though now because with the A5 lectrums i was never filling out a whole page. this makes me feel like i’m wasting a lot less paper. and i like the idea that i don’t have to commit to a whole journal, i can replace the little notebook inserts as needed!

I bought this specific product on Amazon because I noticed the price was $10 cheaper than the travelers website and other stationary stores. It's a legit product, brand new and definitely worth it. I love the quality of the leather, the ease of personalization, and compact size. I was a bit unsure of the color because I wanted the olive one, but black is black. Classic and never get sick of it.

With mixed reviews, it took me a while to finally make a decision to go for this TN cover in Camel and also bought other accessories. Every items are in good quality and the passport size is perfect to carry with me everywhere. Strongly recommend!

I somehow ended up with passport sized inserts, and didn’t have a TN for them, so I got this cover. I wasn’t sure that I’d use it as much as I do! I love this thing. It’s a small companion that is so portable and lightweight compared to my other planners.It holds two inserts for me—three was too many. I thought that would bother me, but it doesn’t. In fact, it’s made me compact my system a bit, which is LIBERATING.I NEVER thought that this purchase would have this strong of an impact on me, but it did. I think it’s my planner peace I’ve been looking for.

I ordered the blue TN in passport size for a gift that would look professional enough for business use. The blue turned out to be very, very dark--almost black. The blue was more expensive, so if I ordered again I'd probably just get the black. The leather is very smooth and supple and looks to be of excellent quality. There is a slight leather smell, very pleasant. This is nicely packaged for gifting in a cloth bag and cardboard folder. I'm pleased with the way it looks.It includes only one insert, the one with blank pages, and it does not include the additional band you need if you want to carry more than one insert in it (lined notebook, calendar planner, etc.) You have to separately purchase a pack of four bands to get just one. There is an extra outside elastic band included which is a light bronze color, but including an inner band would be more helpful. The bulk of the outside band on the back cover didn't seem to be as much of a problem as I'd thought it might be, although of course I didn't try to write over it. For what this costs, it really should include at least one inside band for attaching more insert. I took off one star for the blue's higher price and the lack of the needed inner band. That said, it is a very nice and versatile (if you don't mind making a few additional purchases) leather covered notebook for pocket or purse carry.I think the gift recipient will appreciate the Midori Travelers Notebook brand, but for myself I found the much less expensive ZLYC traveler notebook also very nice and to work just as well for me. Both brands take the same size inserts.
