Bold solid brass ruler - will last forever- wonderful detail. Nice size for letter and desk work lines. Galen Leather sales the best leather journals, notebooks, desk writing wood box, desk supplies, and pens.
Beautiful workmanship on my Olive Pen Rest. The wood grain is magnificent and rich. Matching my Olive Writing Desk wood box. Love everythingI have ordered from Galen Leather. Wonderful products, price, and more importantly the quality and detailed workmanship!!
I've had my portfolio for a few weeks now. absolutely love it. very well made. fits my ipad pro 12.9 with keyboard case just fine. I detach the keyboard and keep it tucked on the left side and ipad in it's case on the right.
The quality of the pen case is wonderful. It looks great and I love the tray.
I really like this new case. What I like the most is that I can remove one panel and put my Hobonochi TECHO B6 and a small Claire Fontaine notepad on top of it and it closed properly.
I definitely recommend it.
I absolutely LOVE my writing box - but to improve it for my personal needs we removed the brass label so my paper edges didn't hit on it - and then we removed the two little wooden posts that were inside to hold the box open which allows my notebooks to fit in with greater ease. If this was even 1cm deeper it would be better (for my needs - two notebooks stacked inside with 12 fountain pens across the back... makes it hard to shut)
This is my second zipped cover. First was B5 for my daily journal, and I love it, but it was a bit narrow for my journal and fountain pens. So now I got the A5 wide expansi for my spiral sketchbook (8 x 5.5”), and it’s perfect! I love the ocean blue color and everything else about this. Spiral is no problem with the deeper depth. Pens, pencils, and such fit well. I’m so glad I tried it. For reference this is a Strathmore spiral “visual journal” sketchbook I’ve got in here with a cover I collaged. My 8 x 6 sketchbook also fits into this fine. I look forward to taking this out to sketch.
I just received A5 notebook folio (ch brown). It exceeds my expectation for its quality and the texture of the leather.
I am waiting for my second order with great anticipation.
This is a beautiful blue with lots of red sheen and what looks like green shimmer. My three favorite colors all together. It flowed very well from my TWSBI diamond 580 ALR with a 1.1 stub nib. The paper used in my attached images is cosmo air light. I wasn’t able to capture the sheen the way I wanted in these photos. It’s beautiful.
I can’t overemphasize how wonderful Galen Leathers customer service is. I bought a fountain pen from them and the next day I noticed this new Anatolia ink went on sale. I sent a message to them and they added the ink in less than 5 minutes to my order and sent me a separate invoice. They’re so easy to deal with and so kind.
I have purchased many items from Galen Leather, their products of high quality and their customer services is excellent. They have a great selection of products, I would highly recommend them and all their products.
The design and craftsmanship are impeccable. This pen holder now has a permanent place on my desk. I love it.
This cover is everything I hoped it would be. I am so I love!! It’s made so well and it fits my hobonichi cousin great. Shipping was very fast to the USA!
I ordered the crazy horse tan and it is so beautiful! I also upgraded to get my initials and think it was well worth the additional charge! I can’t wait to use this cover for many years to come!
I’ve contemplated purchasing yet another pen. But I’m happy I got this one. The old time “silver screen” cinema motif is done very well. Superb craftsmanship. The materials chosen complement each other nicely. Nib is tuned just as well as my other Kilk pen - writes like a dream. And the little silver film reel in the finial is like a cherry on top. All the fidgeters out there, enjoy! Couldn’t be happier with the purchase!

I'd been considering getting a writing box for a while, and having looked around online at quite a few, this seemed head and shoulders above the others. And it is. It's a gorgeous piece of woodworking, beautiful to look at and use, and something to hand down through generations.
just unpacked both of my desk pads. A large and a small. Uper colour and already with a patina. the small one is sat on the floor under some boxes to flatten out but the big one is, as you can see, already on my desk. My children and at some stage, their children will use these.
Thanks team Galen for another excellent product with speedy delivery to the UK
I was nervous to buy another seconds own, but it arrived in good condition with only a couple minor surface scratches that you'd find from daily use. The problem, however, it's that it is MASSIVE in size. I assumed it would fit their B5 notebooks, but it's too big for that, or Stalogy. I can even have the notebook in another B5 leather cover, put THAT cover inside the Galen cover, and there's still a ton of room. Take about 1/2" off each right edge and 1/2" of the bottom edges and it would be perfect.
I'm very pleased with the specific shade and sensual feel of this particular leather. It's very pleasant to touch and smells...well, if you enjoy leather products, there's definitely a lot to enjoy here. I hope Galen will add this leather as an option to more of their production in the future. From a practical point of view, my pens are securely held and protected in there. The only slightly less practical thing is the way the AirTag is supposed to hold in the case. I'm afraid it might slip out of the case at some point.
I was lucky enough to get a seconds leather A5 zipper folio in my preferred color after looking at Galen’s products for over a year (probably closer to two).
If you’re on the fence about getting one, GO FOR IT. I can’t figure out why this was even a seconds item. The cover maybe had one small scratch but I’ve tossed it in a bag every day since I got it and I can’t even tell anymore.
The leather is buttery soft. The zipper is so high quality. It’s easy to zip and feels great to use. It fits SO much stuff in it too. I cram more than it advertises in there and there’s no issue closing the zipper. All of my wiring tools, journal and even extras (ruler, small scissors, stickers, etc) fit with room to spare.
Fantastic product. 10/10.
Oddly, unlike my other Tomoe River notebooks, the feathering is incredibly pronounced which is unfortunate. Tested with Visconti Homo Sapiens Fine with Platinum Carbon Black ink, and feathered even worse with a Pilot Vanishing Point Extra Fine filled with Noodler’s Baystateblue. A pity as this notebook was absolutely beautiful.
Great materials, really elegant and. It has arrived with some very nice and thoughtful gifts. Top
I was debating between this case and more popular portfolio case. And at the end I choose this one (not to say that I won't get the portfolio in the future!) because of the way I want to use it. I wanted a case to carry my book and pens, and I prefer to write with the book outside of the case in order to have a really flat writing surface. I think this is an underestimated item, the case itself can hold quite a lot. When I don't have to carry many pens, I just use the 4 pen slots holder to carry my pens (and when needed, I can put 2 of them in this case as shown in the photo). Also, I actually use them separately: I keep the 7 pen slots holder on my desk when my everyday pens so that it's easy to access them, and I carry the case with me in my backpack. The leather is beautiful! I love all the crazy horse leather items I got.
A lovely addition to my Hobo Weeks cover!
I absolutely love a nice leather product and the fact that I could choose such a fun color for it makes it even better! This fits the Hobo Weeks perfectly and has just the right amount of storage without being overly bulky. I’ll be using it for many years to come!
I ordered this notebook cover for my travel diary and it exceeded my expectations: not only I would never guess it was sold as second (it is absolutely perfect!) but it is so light and soft that I will have absolutely no problem to find space for it in my travel bag. Another beautiful Galen Leather product ❤️ Love it!
