I love this journal! The fabric on the cover is beautiful and soft, with a little bit of padding inside. The binder mechanism opens and closes easily. It came with lined paper with a space to fill in a date at the top of each page. The paper doesn't handle wet inks well, but ballpoint pens and pencils are fine. The mechanism is a 6-ring A5 one with about 19 mm between rings and a 70mm gap in the middle. The inner diameter on the rings is about 19mm. I've been able to find refills that fit easily and make my own with an adjustable a5 6 hole punch.
This bag is much more elegant in person, can store a cell phone, lip balms and keys. Please note, the color is not as vivid as pictured and is a muted purple. If you like quality, understated bags you will love this!!! I am so glad I purchased it!
I bought this travel case as a gift for my father for Christmas. He will be taking a trip to Hawaii in a few months and needed a new one. It was very nicely made and the right travel size. He really enjoyed the present.
