Handmade Leather Traveler's Notebook Cover
DESCRIPTION:
This gorgeous Undyed Leather Traveler's Notebook Cover is a perfectly stylish way to store your travel journal or notebooks for recording all your precious memories and travel tales. Made from well-aged leather, it has four standard elastic bands to secure 4-6 notebooks (depending on size).

COLOR/FINISH:
Undyed Leather - Not covered Un-dyed leather means, nude leather, with nothing covered up - so they will have some natural range marks, scars, and other blemishes. In other words, they are not processed to make them appear perfect, like something you would get in a department store. When you get your brand new un-dyed vegetable-tanned leather good, it looks a natural color. The hide is effectively naked and so will age and darken with the sun just like your own skin. Aging will develop a rich color and patina. Sun exposure, daily handling, water, and conditioning give natural vegetable tanned leather a rustic look over time.

Customer Reviews
I ordered a "new" green crazy horse notebook for myself and another product as a gift. My notebook was covered in blemishes on both sides upon arrival. Customer service attributed this to their wax treatment and deemed it as "normal". Thankfully, the leather item I purchased as a gift had no issues. The notebook itself seems well made. But with the blemishes, I would not want feel comfortable gifting this. While I like the green color, I noticed it looks very different from those pictured on Galen’s website. I asked customer service if the leather color had changed and they did not answer my question. I also noticed that the bright green notebook images promoted on their social media are from more than 5 years ago, so it’s possible they changed the color to an olive green and left the old photos. The “seconds” leather notebooks images seem to be a better representation of leather color you'd actually get. I’ll update my review if anything changes with time. The notebook quality is great besides looking like a different color. The customer service needs work.
I got the "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON" brass charm to use with my A6 Crazy Horse Brown notebook. I just used a length of gold colored elastic cut to length and knotted. It works great!
First, I love this TN so much. I use it at work every day and it's transformed my working life. The size is perfect for carrying in my purse. It's aging beautifully.
Second, I had some struggles at checkout around a coupon and they did a great job making everything right. Above and beyond!
This is my 2nd purchase from Galen Leather Co, and just as the first one it is an absolutely gorgeous peace of craftsmanship and although a simple design and construction, the amount of pride and quality are a evident at every moment. I cannot recommend enough the people and products from Galen Leather Co.
I travel quite a lot and enjoy recording my voyages to refer back to in the future. Having searched for years for a good travel diary and having been very happy with my previous Galen Leather products, I bought a refillable regular sized one and it absolutely ticks all the boxes. I use fountain pens and the paper is perfect, I can keep the diary inserts as a travel catalogue and the included grid and line guides make writing and sketching so easy.
I love using my Galen travel diary so much, I bought another one for a gift to my sister!
First time using a TN and I'm happy that I decided to get GL cover. Leather is a good quality and seems sturdy enough to take a beating since it will be my EDC. My order arrived quickly and it had some really cool goodies that I wasn't expecting! I would have given it five stars if the color had been as purple and bright as shown on the site, and if the personalization was more visible.
I couldn’t make up my mind on color, so I got two. Both are gorgeous, well made, and photos do not show how pretty they truly are.
Realy recomend this leather cover love it☺️
This colour is so gorgeous! It's such a deep blue, depending on the light it even looks black.
I really love it. The quality is also super nice and you always get extra stuff with each order (stickers, tea, nazar charm,...).
