CARVEx LEATHER JOURNAL Heart Engraved Handmade Writing Notebook 7 x 5 Inches Unlined Paper, Brown Antique Leatherbound Daily Diary Notepad For Men & Women GIFT

This journal is so pretty. Exactly what it looks like in the photo. I love it.

I was looking for a good journal for a while now to turn into a reading journal. I checked multiple stores but I couldn't find any that I really liked. But then I come across this on Amazon and I fell in love with how it looked. So after ten minutes of debating, I ended up buying it. When the journal came, I was extremely pleased with how it looked. The pages were thick, it stayed open and the details on the cover was incredible. However, the only downside is the "buckle" or "lock" part. It works, but there's a piece that sticks out. So the lock could be easily opened just by resting the book on the table. It's not such a big deal, but it is a bit of a set back. Either than that, the journal is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.

Love this little journal! I intend to use it to log specific details about a D&D Campaign and the design reminded me of my current character. I love how very clearly handmade it is… That might not be to some peoples’ taste but I appreciate it. The paper inside is also handmade, I did find a page with a hair stuck in it, which frayed the paper when I pulled it out. (but honestly, if you’ve ever made homemade paper, it’s very easy to get stuff stuck in it during the process). My 4/5 on sturdiness is just to kinda point out this journal is not meant to take a beating. If treated roughly, I can tell the homemade pages, would easily start ripping out. I also see a potential weak-point in the locking mechanism... but I’ll update if anything happens with that. But overall: for the modest price, I got a very cute, little, unique, handmade journal which suites my needs perfectly.

This is a beautiful journal, I love the leather and how it is handbound. It is going to be a gift for my boyfriend. I'm doing a homemade "why I love you book"My only issue with it is the paper inside is extremely thin. I had to take cardstock and put that in between two pages. I could not use my ink set or watercolors for the background. Colored pencil is fine, but do not press to hard as the page starts to peel. Some of the page bundles were thicker pages and I was able to use my spray inks on them without bleeding through.That's honestly the only gripe I have with it. Otherwise it's an awesome, unique, journal.

It’s a really fantastic journal. The quality is way nicer than I thought it would be. It’s really beautiful and makes a great gift for someone who enjoys journaling or who lives a spiritual lifestyle. I’m shocked it was only $12 and was as beautiful as it was. 5 stars
