Gorgeous! Can’t wait to fill it up!

I’m so excited to receive this beautiful notebook! The customer service is also excellent - I reached out to Tinneal with a question and they responded so quickly and kindly. My notebook arrived thoughtfully wrapped in recycled materials, which was a lovely touch. Thank you!

Absolutely adore this notebook!!

It feels so sturdy and is just wonderful to hold in hand. I love the external front pocket (that's what convinced me to get it in the first place, and the quality/craftsmanship just brings me so much joy. I look forward to having this notebook for many years to come!

Beautiful & Simple

Very simplistic design, which is a good thing. Love the color of the dye for this leather journal holder too. Looks like it will wear nicely as it ages. I like the outside sleeve pocket. This is perfect for carrying in a purse or messenger bag. I also love that it is made by a woman artisan leatherworker...A one woman shop. I got my order and delivery in just as the tariff nonsense started. I am sorry that you can't send to USA with now. Ugh! USA is so embarrassing lately. I wish you well in future sales. I refer people to you...hopefully the shipping situation will change soon.

Better than expected

Well US Customs decided to hold this hostage for an extra week BUT

Once it got here, it was exactly what I wanted. Beautiful work.

Delightful

This is an amazing piece! I got this to use as my traveller's journal for daily use and when I'm travelling, and I've been delighted with it. The quality is fantastic, the colour is beautiful, and I can tell this will serve me for a great long time. I love the simple but high-quality design.

I think my only gripe or negative about the item is that the "raw" parts of the leather, the inside, are stained quite heavily. This means that whenever I put a piece of paper on the notebook's outside pocket or anything, some of that stain transfers over. Thankfully I mainly use that pocket to hold things like receipts so it isn't too big of a problem, and I'm sure it will decrease over time!

Worth Every Penny

Took a little while to arrive, assuming crossing the border played a part in that - but it really was worth the wait. Such a simple item, but beautifully made. Excited to put it to use.

Made with care

I am not a materials expert, but I have been enjoying using this notebook cover and feel that I've gotten my money's worth and then some. It's clear from the quality that it was handcrafted with care. The "imperfections" give it a unique character that can't be replicated or mass-produced, making it feel one of a kind. Feels good in the hand and works well with my A5 Midori notebook (192 pages) that I use daily. Shipping was prompt (From Canada to USA) and the item was thoughtfully packaged and well-protected. Thank you so much!

Amazing Cover

The notebook was packaged so well and with so much care. It is an excellent piece of leather, and I'm excited to immediately use it.

The color is great in person, and I would buy from this website again.

LOVE!!!

Matches my brown Travelers Notebook perfectly. The leather is so
beautiful. And the smell, ugh! I’ll definitely be a return customer.

Wonderful Product and Awesome Service!

I got a loop guard/pen holder for my (not traveler's brand) travelers notebook cover and it works great! It protects the edge of my notebook cover and holds my pen really well. Additionally, the service was awesome. Great communication via email and fast arrival time.

Absolutely stunning, durable leather journal

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.

Exactly what I wanted and more

Beautiful leatherwork and quality materials, really happy with this! Love the unique colour too. And the pen-carrying tab is such a neat and elegant feature, super handy

Looking forward to carrying this with me for years to come! Highly recommend :)

Pic attached shows size relative to lip balm, the A7 format is perfect for me (forgive the lighting!)

Great TN Accessory!

I love using this pen loop on my passport and standard size Traveler’s Notebooks. I’m excited to see them patina over time. High quality, great craftsmanship. Very happy with my purchase.

Perfect!

I love the colors and they work like a charm. It’s such a relief to not worry about a pen slipping out of my TN all the time!

Love love love it!

I love the leather - I'm no expert on leather, but it's a nice thick piece with substantial-looking stitching. I really can't wait to see how it ages. The internal pocket and the live-edge pocket on the front are more than enough for all those little receipts and what-nots that collect over time. It holds three Field Notes notebooks comfortably which gives the whole thing a satisfying heft while still easily fitting in a pocket (unless your pants are super tight, that is!). But my favorite feature of all is the pen holder on the closure. Super happy with my purchase.

Excellent complement to a Traveler's Notebook

First of all, I love the color. The purple is dark and subtle, the stitching makes it pop. I loaded mine with a Moleskine Classic Notebook, Hard Cover, Pocket (3.5" x 5.5") which fits inside perfectly. Rowsome's Notebook cover is more firm than most of the Traveler's Notebooks.

Tinneal was pleasant and assisted me when I made a mistake on purchase. Product was packaged with care. Strongly recommend!

Perfect accessory for Traveler's Notebook

I didn't like Traveler's solution for a pen loop. The metal digs into the leather. Rowsome's loops offer protection to the edge of the Traveler's Notebook leather from the elastic band while also giving a spot to attach a pen/pencil. Extremely pleased with this purchase and I would highly recommend it.

A beautiful day notebook cover

I love my new notebook cover. I have not had it for long but it is becoming my daily companion. It's well made and durable feeling. The artwork on the cover makes me happy whenever I see it. With cold months ahead it's nice to be carrying the strength and warmth of dandelions with me. I'd give six stars if it was an option. Highly recommend buying one.
