Leatherette Vintage Journal Hard Cover Lined Notebook Old Looking Travel Diary, A5 Size 5.7'' x 8.1''

This leather journal was purchased as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I was surprised with the quality of the journal and the carving of the leather. She loves it and I feel like it was a good purchase for the price. It is beautiful and I believe real leather. Excellent quality and made a fantastic gift!

So cute! I love the gold detailing around the page edges and the velvety feel of the book. I use this all of the time for work and I get compliments!

I own several Victoria’s Journals (A5). Honestly, I only write in my journals using only Victoria’s Journals (A5). I own it in Teal (with the guilt edge), Pink, Purple, and Gray. As much as I do love a good bright color, I must admit that the Victoria’s Journals (A5) in Gray is my most absolute favorite. Not because of the color but because it has a nice, lovely smooth texture along the covers of the journal which feels really really good! I must say that I absolutely LOVE how the Victoria’s Journals have pages with golden edges on them. It makes the appeal for those journals all the more worth it.Without a doubt, I give Victoria’s Journal (A5) a 5 out of 5 star rating with a raving review to go along with it. I highly recommend these to my friends who love to journal and they’ve even purchased these and they love them too! I also once gave the (A5) Teal with the guilt edge as a birthday present to my Great Aunt and she told me that she’s never had a journal so extravagant before and this is coming from a woman who loves to journal about all of her grandchildren and she writes in the one I gave her for her birthday to write about her very first great-grandchild. These are very popular journals within my social circle and most especially with me since I’m the writer in my family and I always have a great deal to write about. — I honestly don’t know what the B6 version of the Victoria’s Journals look like, but I always stay with what’s tried and true which is the A5 model. I would give this an extra added star if I could just for the golden edge paper that the journals have. It’s lightweight so at least it’s not a heavy journal, there are plenty of pages to go around, both front and back and I absolutely love how in the top upper right hand corner of each and every single page there is this format __/__/____ which is used for the month, date, and year so you can at least keep track of when you wrote a certain entry and look back upon that date. It’s easy to use and always makes for the perfect gift with gift giving. For a fancy thick golden edge paper with a color and design on both the front and back of the journal itself, it would say that it’s worth the value of the price it costs and not to mention the performance/durability within the journal when it comes down to writing.I absolutely love the (A5) Victoria’s Journals and wouldn’t use any other journals, plus I love when I get a new journal, I have it added to my multi-collection of their journals.

I got the B6 Brown journal, and it is amazing for 12-13 dollars. It feels nice in my hands, and it fits in my small purse perfectly. I love the tooled leather design, along with the gilding. The paper also feels of decently high quality, though it does bleed slightly (using a Pilot G2).My only complaint is I can't find where I can buy all the other colors for the B6 journals - I would *love* to buy all the colors in this size

Perfect size, exactly what I’m looking for. The red is beautiful. There’s golden lining on the edge of papers.

I bought this so I could start journaling again and it definitely does not disappoint as far as appearance goes. It is very lovely and vintage looking with a nice, soft cover. I ordered the B6 size and it's small (it's maybe 1/4" taller than my phone), but it's the perfect size for me since I wanted something I can toss in a bag and keep with me. Some of the reviews had me worried that the gilded edges would be unfinished, but thankfully it came with gilding all the way around, top, side, and bottom. It is a darker, more coppery color, but it still looks really pretty.My only gripe is the paper. It is a thinner paper with some tooth. It will definitely take well to pencil and if you plan on doing pencil drawings or using colored pencil, then this paper would be great for that. However, it's not very fun to write on with pen and I could see it bleeding through to the other side if you use a juicy one. I use fountain pens to journal and my Kaweco extra fine nib does fine on the paper, though, like I say, it's not a smooth experience. I would not go with a wet writer (sadly, that means my TWSBIs are out of the question) and I would definitely stick to an ink that resists feathering. The paper is pretty absorbent. I'm currently using Noodler's Heart of Dearkness and the feathering is very minimal, though my letters do appear a bit shaky just because of the tooth.Overall, I'm giving this journal 4 stars since it is lovely and came as described. However, I think it's stretching it a little far to call the paper fountain pen friendly.

The texture is like a matte velvet soft, and the details are so perfect. The pictures look nice, but it's better in person. It's like a journal you must use for important stuff only. Could be spiritual, notes on biology, historical, but it's nothing I'd write my shopping list on. You could, but it's so lovely that it would feel wrong.The pages have that nice gold tint to them too. Almost like a rose gold which pleasantly surprised me. Looks much better with the greenish blue I got compared to how a yellow gold would.I will definitely buy as a gift for someone, it's actually really nice it's one of those things that feels good to just hold and look at. It's funny because even if they never end up using it, it's kind of a cool thing to just glance over at on a bookshelf or coffee table.

This is the nicest journal I have ever owned. The pages are thick, they don't curl up like moleskin journals and other flimsy notebooks.
