moonster Leather Journal Notebook A5 – 8x6 Inch Handmade Vintage Diary with 240 Unlined Deckle Edge Pages – Genuine Buffalo Leather for Writing, Sketching & Travel

This journal is so so beautiful I can’t believe the beauty of it! The size is perfect, the paper is amazing and thick. I used a fountain pen with waterproof ink + watercolours and it didn’t bleed everywhere or didn’t touch the back of the page (as shown on the photos) 😍😍 The leather is gorgeous and smell fantastic. It feels like a precious object to have and I can imagine giving it to my child years later with pages full of drawings, poems, quotes and memories. Absolutely in love with this journal ❤️

This book is a fantastic piece of work. It provided the foundation for my son’s secondary school project. His chosen project was the plague and he worked through the subject as if it were his doctor diary. The scent of the book itself already added to its magic. The binding of the pages is fantastically ingenious and sturdy. The paper sheets are extremely excellent quality, only Sharpie-type makers bleed through them. When erasing, the yellowish paper loses its colour but even this fits the overall effect. It can handle glue stick adhesive very well. With this book a wonderful piece of a work created. I strongly recommend this book to anyone.

Totally delighted this is a very good journal strongly put together, paper good to write on and stickers stick very well.

Very nice product.

Its perfect, buy it you will not regret it.

I bought this because it had such good reviews and it was nice, but on arrival I found that the paper was quite dark and wasn’t suitable for my purpose. I wanted to use it for botanical sketches and watercolour paintings. The photos of the journal showed lighter paper and that is what I was hoping for but as a handmade product there is obviously a degree of individuality. I think it would be good for writing in. In addition the paper was quite fibrous and did not feel like it had been pressed between rollers like papers that I have used previously. But it did feel like cotton paper. The leather was lovely and it was very nicely made and I was sad that it didn’t suit my purpose and that is the only reason I sadly withheld one star.

It looks good on a shelf and is beautiful if you like old styled things

I don’t normally write reviews but I feel this needs one. The design is beautiful, it’s beautiful, the leather case is really nice, this is definitely going to last . The paper is a cotton. It was that good that I bought a dairy today from the same company and I have to say that’s as beautiful as the first one. 2 in 2 days 🙈

Es precioso! Y la calidad buenísima.Es un regalo perfecto. Me encanta.

Je cherchais un carnet à la fois solide et agréable à utiliser pour écrire régulièrement, et aussi suffisamment qualitatif pour servir de carnet personnel. Dès la réception, le cuir donne une bonne impression : il est épais, avec un aspect vraiment brut et authentique. On sent le côté fait main, avec quelques petites irrégularités qui participent au charme plutôt qu’à un défaut. Le format A5 est pratique, facile à transporter sans être trop petit pour écrire confortablement. Le papier est aussi un vrai point positif car il est épais, donc l’encre ne traverse pas facilement, même avec un stylo plume ou un feutre léger. Pour l’écriture quotidienne ou même un peu de croquis, ça fait très bien le travail. Le carnet s’ouvre assez bien à plat après quelques utilisations, ce qui est appréciable. Le style est très “rustique”, donc ça ne plaira pas forcément à ceux qui cherchent quelque chose de très moderne ou parfaitement uniforme. Et comme c’est du fait main, il peut y avoir de petites différences d’un modèle à l’autre. Au final, c’est un carnet avec beaucoup de caractère, agréable à utiliser au quotidien, surtout si on aime les objets un peu authentiques. Je le vois bien pour un journal personnel, un carnet de voyage ou même comme idée cadeau. Et avec le temps et l’utilisation, le cuir devrait se patiner, ce qui le rendra encore plus unique.

Bardzo dobra jakość, doskonale się prezentuje. Polecam w 100%

Precis som jag tänkt mig. Fint stadigt läder, kraftigt papper. Ger intryck av ”gammal bok”.

I am very impressed with this book and would definitely buy more in the future. The cover is authentic high quality leather, the pages are very resilient (doesn't tear easily) and it lays flat when trying to write. There is some minor inconsistences to the page sizes and color of the paper but I like it because it gives that aged/found in an ancient library feel. For art mediums, I found that pen and coloring pencils work best. Tried markers but it bled and smeared. The pen ink dried instantly and soaked into the paper right away. There was no smearing or blow outs of the regular pen ink. Dry mediums are better for this book (I wouldn't recommend anything overly wet like watercolor or markers).
