Handmade Leather Traveler's Notebook Cover

DESCRIPTION:

This gorgeous Teal Blue Leather Traveler's Notebook Cover is a perfectly stylish way to store your travel journal or notebooks for journaling sessions.. Made from well-aged leather, the leather traveler's notebook has four standard elastic bands to secure 4-6 notebooks (depending on size).

COLOR/FINISH:

Crazy Horse Ocean Blue Ocean blue color has tones between rich blue and teal. Bright colors like blue are sensitive to sunlight and fading. Therefore, there is more wax and protection on the leather surface in this color, so the leather surface is smoother and more semi-shiny than other crazy horse leather colors. Ocean Blue develops a very nice patina with use over time.

Even better than expected!

This was my first order from Galen Leather, and I will definitely be ordering from here again! I had been searching for a replacement cover for my planner system for ages and I'd heard great things about Galen, so I decided to get the Crazy Horse Forest Green TN cover. In person, it is even more beautiful than I expected it to be. It is a tad narrower than the cover I was using previously, but it still easily fits three notebook inserts and a pretty bulky pouch. It is so smooth to the touch and the color is so deep and varied. I feel like this is exactly what I've been searching for in a cover ever since I started my traveler's notebook journey five years ago. From the beautiful packaging to the leather itself, this feels like the premium product that it is. I will definitely be adding more of these to my collection.

Butterfly charm is gorgeous!!

I can see why the butterfly charm has sold out, it’s thick (but not too much) and yet has such intricate delicately patterned butterfly wings. While I like the symbolism of the North Star (compass) one on my b5 tn, I prefer the butterfly one on my passport tn pictured here in the new ocean blue for its sturdiness and its finesse.

Travelers Notebook Cover Dark Brown

I ordered the regular traveler’s notebook cover in dark brown with hand stitching, pink strings and ‘life begins after coffee’ leather tag on the 14 August. As part of my order confirmation it did outline that there was a wait time however I was amazed at how quickly it arrived. I live in Australia. The packaging was secure, ensuring the item was undamaged. The box that Galen products come in is very unique compared to other stationary companies. I love the additional items, story, stickers, tea etc that come with your order. It makes me want to visit Istanbul which I hope I do one day! The customer service was exceptional, as they kept me updated throughout the entire process. Their messaging feels very personal. I am really enjoying using the cover. I love the capacity of the notebook, the smell and I can’t wait to see how the leather wears over time. Overall, my experience with Galen is always outstanding, I’ve made a few purchases!

Mooie cover

Hele mooie kleur
Super handig
Alleen jammer dat je voor de charmes en tags die je erbij wilt hebben zoveel extra moet betalen.
Maar voor de rest zeer tevreden mee.

Fantastic cover

Despite the warning regarding long production time, the cover arrived really quickly. It is absolutely beautiful. I love it. It is pleasant to touch, smells of leather and fits my journal perfectly. I'm really glad that I found this offer 'cause it's hard to find a standard A5 cover and, in contrast, to standard Traveller's covers, this one has 4 elastics inside so it will fit many notebooks. This was a great choice.

The best traveler’s notebook cover, insert, and notebooks, of course!!

I admit that I bought the notebooks and journal cover in this size before I knew what I was going to use them for. But after using them, I just love them! The navy blue is a great color if you don’t want it to follow the popular/traditional brown, and I paired it with the forest green insert and a yellow elastic. I fit two TN Galen notebooks as well, which you’ll see in the pictures. I don’t think I would want to fit a third notebook with the wallet insert, but to each his/her own! I do wish the leather tag (not all who wander are lost) didn’t scratch the leather on the cover, but since I have the balm I may try to put some extra there to protect it. It’s happened to me with the brass pieces as well (on my other TN, B5). It will age/patina anyway, being leather, I just thought I would mention it. The hand stitching makes it even more special and unique, and to me it looks more finished than without. Excellent, quality, handcrafted delight!
