The Classic Dotted

Absolutely love these dotted journals, now on my 5th and will only use these moving forward. I have tried many brands but this one has uniquely thick ivory paper that can hold fountain pen ink and fine liners with zero bleed or transfer through the page. The PU cover is thick, well made with a plentiful pocket at the back. The double place saver with ribbon and elastic is great for my journaling holding two pages for easy quick access . I like the absence of any branding or logo on the front too. Wish there were a few more plain colours available.

High quality journal. I was looking at journals both in store and online. I find this is good value for money (got it for 11 pounds). Paper is thick. Good for sketching, crafting, ink, glue and writing. Lots of pages as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautifully Made and Perfect for Bullet Journaling I’ve been using the Ottergami Dotted Notebook for over a month now, and it has genuinely become one of my favorite journaling tools. 🤔First impressions: The packaging was minimal but protective, and the notebook itself has a premium feel. The hardback cover feels sturdy without being bulky, and the linen texture gives it a sophisticated look. It really does feel like a product made with care. 📝Paper quality: This is where the notebook really shines. The 150gsm pages are thick and buttery smooth—perfect for pens, markers, and even light watercolor. I’ve tested it with fountain pens, gel pens, and brush pens, and there’s absolutely no bleed-through or ghosting. That’s a game-changer for bullet journalers. 📖Layout and dots: The dot grid is subtle but easy to see, and it's spaced evenly (5mm), making it great for layouts, graphs, and artistic spreads. The notebook lays flat beautifully, which is something I always look for, and the dual ribbon bookmarks are a nice practical touch. Other features I love: ✅The numbered pages make indexing easy. ✅There’s a built-in expandable pocket at the back for stickers or notes. ✅The elastic closure band is strong and doesn’t loosen with use. ✅It even came with a few helpful journaling guides and prompts to get started. ✅I'm personally rather fond of the deep blue colour Downsides?: Honestly, none that are dealbreakers. If I had to nitpick, I’d say I wish there were more color options or maybe a version with perforated pages. But that’s just personal preference. ⚖️🤔Final thoughts: This is a well-thought-out and high-quality notebook that will be perfect for bullet journaling, creative planning, or note-taking. I’ll definitely be buying more as aside from personal use, I think these make for great value gifts due to their versatility and functionality.

I bought this journal because I needed a new bullet journal for the new year. I wanted a journal that didn't have crisp white pages but still had thick and good paper quality so that my pens won't bleed through. This is exactly what I was looking for! It has light ivory pages (not too yellowish or cream color for me) and 192 pages so it will last the whole year. I was concerned how dark the dots would be because some reviews said that they were really dark but I was glad to find out that they are not that dark. They are slightly larger and darker color than for example Archer and Olive notebooks but lighter than my first Lemome notebook dots so I really like it. On few pages the dots don't align perfectly but that doesn't bother me. I would highly recommend this for anyone!

I absolutely love this journal, for the money it is absolutely incredible quality. The cover is vegan leather and is lovely and smooth and not grainy to the touch like some can be, the paper quality is brilliant so far too! I’ve been using pens, artists pens and gel pens too and there’s zero bleeding into the next page. The dots aren’t too dark so can easily be written over if you want to, there’s also a wee pocket at the back and the strap that goes around it seems good quality and not too loose! Overall, I’m super impressed with this journal (I’m using it as a book journal) and would definitely buy again!

I bought this to use as a journal after looking at a number of options and I couldn't be happier. The paper is excellent, smooth, and great to write on with a fountain pen. It's a very light ivory, not too yellow and easy on the eyes. There's also no bleed through, even with my fine liners which are notorious for it. The dots are spot on too, helpful guides for drawing and writing, yet unintrisive. The faux leather is soft to the touch and makes the whole book feel good in the hand. The sewn binding also allows the book to lay flat when open and has pleasing red and white sewn endbands. It came beautifully presented, wrapped inside a sturdy box, and would make an excellent gift. I'll definitely be buying this again and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fantastic quality notebook or journal, whether for themselves or as a gift for someone else.

Very happy with my Ottergami bullet dotted journal set. The hardcover feels sturdy and the paper quality is excellent, with minimal bleed-through. Clean, well-spaced dots and a simple design make it ideal for both planning and journaling.

I love the quality of this, the paper is lovely and thick. Only one of my pens slightly bled through the test sheet and that was an alcohol marker (Spectrum Noir Illustrator) but I was only testing that one out of curiosity, I wasn't planning on using it. The stencils line up with the dots and look like they'll be useful unlike some I've had in the past. It comes really well presented in a box wrapped with paper so this would make a fantastic gift. I've only had this a day, but I'll almost certainly be buying again!

Quality notebook, well thought details. I like the pen holder, rulers and templates inside the back pocket.

Joli carnet, il correspond à mes attentes

Lo ame nada más tenerlo en la mano, páginas gruesas, buena cantidad y una calidad impresionante, cuando se me acabar mi diario repetiré.
