Dear all, After some years travelling with the Midori journal, I found the size (finding paper while on the roas was incredibly frustrating) and lack of carrying the pen/cards was a pain, so I decided to design and make my own journals based on all my experience travelling off the beaten path. And so, this is the outcome: Some of the basic features: · Inner notebook slot allows for quick and simple A-5 journal/agenda replacement. It can hold any A-5 journal or agenda from any brand. Available under request, it can hold both a journal and an agenda together.· A second inner large slot allows for keeping passport, notes and documents organised and secured.· Two pockets that allows up to 4 cards, travel cards or driving licence/ID.· Outer layer from genuine full-grain, vegetable tanned bovine leather from Toscana. Durable yet supple it shows all the animal's character and will age forming a beautiful patina. The leather is chosen to last for generations.· Inner lining from high quality denim fabric, stretched and stitched by hand. Denim fabric can be replaced by suede of any color, to be matched with the stitching thread.· Inner pockets and slots from full grain, vegetable-tanned french chevre. Delicate and wear resistant, with a gorgeous grain, it develops a beautiful patina as it ages.· Elastic flat band that can hold a full-sized fountain pen.· 100% stitched by hand using saddle stitching for durable and elegant seams. Stitching color can be tailored and the thread is waxed by hand. · Edges painted, waxed and polished by hand, creased by hand to enhance the stitching. Cheers
