I really love my X17 cognac leather A5 and I think X17 really deserves more attention from stationery and notebook lovers. It is the perfect missing link between the pleasure of a leather traveler's notebook and your regular A5 Moleskine like notebook.
Their well thought design doesn't allow the notebooks inside to move (I forgot to mention the inserts are dented to).
It combines the advantages of both. I had tried buying A5 traveler's notebooks from makers before but they end up being fairly bulky and disappointing. This one is a well-made and well-thought notebook that has no bulk, stays flat... And the leather is absolutely gorgeous, the most beautiful of my collection so far.
So here is the link to this small family size company in Germany : www.x17.de/en/home/
I'm in no way affiliated but they offer a huge range of notebooks from tiny to huge with a nice choice of fabric and color so that the prices vary a lot as well making them affordable to many.
Oh and I know that many models are now available from Amazon.com so that it is less costly without the shipping costs.
I hope you enjoyed this video, please feel free to contact me should you have any question and I'd be happy if you leave a comment.
