A beautiful artisanal piece. The skill and quality is evident immediately upon opening. A very durable leather journal that is ideal for the traveler and outdoor use. This is my new creative journal to carry around with me while on walks - be it a forest, mountain, or beach. The detailing on the spine is what drew me into this particular piece and the vibrancy of the green for the ivy is a masterpiece. Very speedy shipping to the Scottish Highlands as well! As a Canadian, I was thrilled to support this artisan and emerging brand. I'll be recommending Rowsome Leather goods to many going forward.
