I always have a notebook on me, and I have a ton of leather items to keep my notebooks in but never a cool leather case or wrap. I was hesitant about the clasp. I generally only like my leather pieces to just be leather and plain, but I'm really digging those "gemstones" they include. The only thing I don't like is that the notebook came without lined paper. I'm not good with keeping things straight without a guide, but this will be good practice for me. These wraps are sooooo smooth, especially the Hickory-colored one. They smell great! Really loving these wraps and the price is great in my opinion. All around, this is one of the best leather purchases I've made in a while. 10/10 5-star ratings!

I love the feel of the leather. It is so soft. The button in the front just adds that little kick of color and the monogram looks nice. I can’t wait to start using it.

I love my journal. Mine is the color Canyon with the turquoise clasp. I also requested lined paper. I am extremely happy with my purchase. This is my fourth purchase from Portland leather goods. I have had many compliments and people asking where I got it. I always give them the website. This is the best quality leather you can find. PERFECT!

So glad I got this before they sold out! I ordered the large at first (too big for me, so gifted it to a friend)...and then ordered the medium canyon leather with the red stone & compass firebrand. Absolutely gorgeous! Pic shows the comparison of the large wrap journal with white stone (and the small green snap journal).

This is a very beautiful hand crafted leather journal with double wrap closure strap and a Peridot stone closure. The custom name branding and initial tag on front were done very nicely and centered perfectly. The Journal is medium size and is perfect for aviation logs and keeping noes. I chose the lined paper but got a unlined filler so he has the capability of writing and drawing. He really likes the birthday present. I also bought him a belt. There was great communication at all times and all questions were promptly answered, Great product, excellent quality and very specialized gift for a loved ones hopes, dreams and journals. Next journal is mine!

My daughter requested a journal for her 17th birthday. Her name is A Portland J. I named her after your home place of Portland OR. Her brother, my son Dawson, went through cancer treatments there while he was still with us. Each of my succeeding children have a middle name in memory of him, and my daughter has Portland as a middle name for that reason. She was so touched and knew the meaning of your journal, immediately!
Beautiful craftmanship and exactly what I expected and hoped! It also allows for a lifetime of journaling. You can purchase new inserts! She loves it!
