I ordered the Yu-Sari notebook to try out the paper I’d heard many good things about. The paper is uniquely beautiful to experience, I’m so happy I have it and grateful I’ve been able to try it. The only thing I “missed” was the size; I didn’t check the dimensions before ordering, so it turned out a bit bigger than I expected. Still, I’ll use it and treasure it for my university notes.
The order arrived quickly with FedEx, which was really fast considering the distance. The company is incredible, they included many sweet little gifts that pleasantly surprised me, especially since this was my first order from the site.
Thank you, Galen Leather, for doing such amazing work!
This is my 2nd 20 pen case from Galen Leather . I can keep my pens together, protected in such a luxurious leather case . I also like the leather page that protects against the pens hitting each other when closed .
Love this pen case!!! It’s so gorgeous!!! Perfect home for my pens. Thanks Galen brilliant products
Took me a while to take the plunge but so glad I did. It gonna be a forever treasure
Perfect for journaling, planning or keeping track! Each piece tells its own story. And that beautiful patina? Amazing!
I ordered these notebook covers for gift baskets for my employers to gift. I wanted the items to be high quality and something people would want to use/keep. Galen Leathers understood the assignment. (They also come in a variety of beautiful colors.)
This box is absolutely perfect. Perhaps I am biased , as I think everything from Galen Leather is fantastic.
The construction and quality of this box is second to none.
Thank you Galen Leather!
My dear husband knows that I love all things Galen leather - I have at least 7 folios & notebook covers, leather totes and zippered pouches - and I especially put each new Hobonichi journal in my A5 zippered folio every January. I am an art journaler, so my Hobo is used for writing and painting, sketching and collage. It gets fat & chunky. Having pens, a ruler, stickers in the folio is such a plus, but by May or June, my Hobo is too fat, and I have to remove the pens and pen holder. Yet, he saw the new ocean blue color and surprised me with a new folio for my birthday in January regardless.. And then the next week, my girlfriend came over to visit WITH the NEW Expansi version. In ocean blue. OMGeee! To have another inch of space is EVERYTHING and more. I have a GOOD man, because he then ordered me the Expansi in ocean blue (which is also the name of my Bengal cat in Japanese, Umi Ao, LOL) Would I still want yet another inch of space. Yep! (Hint, hint) But I am so happy to have my precious journal housed in such a bespoke and lavish manner. Thank you for non-stop attention to quality and detail, Galen. I remain loyal and will continue to refer you to every person I can. As an artist, I applaud the craftsmanship you give to your clients. You’re my favorite.
It’s rare when making a first-time purchase from a business that you are left feeling like you got so much more than you bargained for! That was exactly my experience with Galen Leather Co. and I will be a returning customer! Beyond my beautiful journal cover, I was supplied amply with a variety of free gifts. My heart was delighted when opening the gorgeous packaging to discover the lovely and tasteful items contained therein. What a class act! I’ve posted raving reviews on my personal social media as well and will gladly do my part in letting my friends and peers know about the exceptional quality and experience that Galen provides. I light up every time I see my new journal. Thank you Galen Leather Co!
The cover is everything I wanted. The elastic addition to the loop fits my chunky pens perfectly and the little slits in the inside covers are perfect to have a few sheets of blotting paper with me on the go. I’ll be buying more colours!
I got the Crazy Horse Tan. Still has that leather smell despite being a leftover product.
The only gripe that I had was that the elastic does not secure the book as well as I hoped it would. But I found a work-around that is doing a good job. I am using the elastic from the notebook and three rubber bands to keep the journal in place.
I cannot return it because it is second-handed. But I will make do. It was originally going be three stars, but the fix brought it up to four.
I previously purchased the smaller medic bag and have carried it diligently for months and months, it's a workhorse of a bag that holds more than you would expect, but as life continued to shape and bend I found myself needing more space. So my hubby gifted me the honor of the XL and oh. my. goodness. This is the bag of dreams, every single writer, reader, dark academia inspired dreamer needs this bag. I thought the smaller one held a magical amount of things but it doesn't compare to the XL! From my refillable journal, folio, and bible snuggly fitting in the far back pocket, my cards highlighters, pens, charger, keys, and other miscellaneous things in the front. (I especially love the little pocket so my keys can set comfortably along with breath mints and a small bottle of ink) and then there's the magnetic front flap with SIX pockets that holds just about everything else like full size pages of notes, maybe a drawing or two from my kid, a sticky note pad, and even more cards when needed. There's not much I can't fit in this thing and take it on the move. I will say on the smaller version the strap wasn't long enough for me to wear it as a backpack but I normally carried it as a tote anyway, I'm quite delighted though that this one is long enough to utilize that feature and it wears very comfortable as a backpack as well. I also really love the small handle on the back to carry like a briefcase, so grabbing it from the seat or just walking from the car to class you don't always have to throw it on your shoulder. There's not one element I could say something negative about, the family at Galen goes above and beyond when it comes to care and quality.
It was a surprise after open the box and feel the leather cover, which is even better than the picture shown on website. Thank you so much for the craftsmanship!
I had been searching for a robust pen case to hold 3 Montblanc pens, including the larger 149. I had searched many sites before seeing what I thought was perfect on the Galen website. I was certainly not disappointed when it came. The craftsmanship is superb, the sizing is perfect and the pens are very well protected. I would definitely buy from Galen again.
I absolutely love this beautiful pen and I wish I had a better skill to show off how amazing the nib is. The packaging arrived with a wooden box (which I so appreciated) and some wonderful surprises from Galen Leather. I cannot be happier with this purchase!
I bought this as a journal cover for my hardback Moleskine. It didn't fit well but my A5 Hobonichi Notebook did and it's actually better! This is a beautiful notebook cover and I carry it with me everywhere as my commonplace book. Thanks as always to Galen Leather - amazing product, great service. I will be back for more!
Pretty butterfly! Nice and thick, I love it!
It’s so beautiful! Love it, was able to personalize with my first name since it’s short :)
I’m loving Galen products, they’re made so well and it’s so nice to get all the extra gifts they send too! (My son loves the coffee)
I got the Leather Leuchtturm1917 A6 Notebook Cover in Crazy Horse Orange because I have the Leuchtturm1917 A5 cover in Crazy Horse Tan and though I love it very much, it's a touch heavy for everyday carry. Also, since I have other Galen Leather item in crazy horse tan, brown and forest green, I was curious about the crazy horse orange, and I'm really happy with this choice! The leather is a gorgeous colour and very smooth, I love the feel of it. I like the black strap and I'm crazy about the hand stitching. It's also the perfect size for me. All in all, it's my favourite Galen Leather item so far.
I feel like I am enjoying a work of art as I hold this pen. The colors, the swirls, the metal work, and the extra 14K nib I added. This is my first Kilk pen and I will look forward to adding another. A word about Galen Leather, SUPERB! What a joy it is to be able to work with a trustworthy company which responds its customers questions and problems with personal attention. I don't own everything Galen makes, but I'm working on it! 🧳
5 of 5!!!
It's flat shape so doesn't make my bag looks fat. Can keep pens and note together so able to bring only this.
Um.... just pretty n nice!! Nothing to unpleasant poins
The quality and hand craftsmanship of this pen tray is rarely found today. It is exquisite and perfectly functional! I have been searching for this product for two decades. See photos of how perfectly it fits into my desk arrangement! Thank you so very much! You shipped earlier than expected.
This Expasni-Folio is absolutely amazing! It has a ton of room to store a thick A5 size journal, several pen slots that have elastic loops that you can store large diameter or standard size fountain pens. It has slots to store business cards and large slots for extra stationary. It’s built with a heavy duty zipper, beautifully finished leather and heavy duty stitching, truly built to last two life times. It fits easily into a backpack for everyday use. Super fast shipping from Turkey to the U.S.! Thanks Galen Leather Company for making a great product!
After months of use with a used notebook cover I couldn't be happier. I have not had any issues with quality or function. I also enjoyed the extra goodies included by Galen Leather
This isn't my first purchase from Galen Leather and it absolutely won't be my last!
I had a question after ordering and they responded almost immediately and their service was incredible (as always).
I have been eyeing up the forest green leather for a long while and it's honestly even more beautiful in person! I have it filled with four fountain pens, a iPad Mini, a Moleskine notebook and my airpods and it still zippers closed and fits everything well. It is the most perfect addition to my collection and I know I'll be using it for many years to come.
