The My Prima Planner Leather Personal Size Traveler's Journal in "Warm Stone" product review. The Prima Marketing “Genuine Leather Personal Sized Travelers Journal” is a beautiful leather
cover that features a wash of grey that can easily be distressed and personalized. The light grey
stone color of this leather journal along with the natural imperfections of the leather makes it very
visually appealing. I placed my Midori Traveler's Notebook (Travelers Company) and my
Hobonichi Techo on each side of the My Prima Planner travelers notebook to give you an idea
of the actual size of the leather travelers journal.
Now the leather journal itself comes in a nice plastic box that protects it a bit from the elements
during the shipping process.
The Prima Marketing leather personal-sized traveler’s notebook in warm stone that I purchased
includes:
- 1 Genuine Leather Travelers Journal Cover (5"x7.25")
- 4 Interior Elastic Bands
- 1 Exterior Elastic Bands
- 1 Zippered Pocket
Unlike past travelers journals that Prima Marketing has released. The leather personal sized travelers journals do not come with inserts. You can purchase a set of four from the "My Prima Planner" site or from any retailer who carries the personal size inserts. This leather travelers journal in the color warm slate has a couple of inner pockets within the interior ofthis travelers notebook.
When you open it up flat there is a secretarial pocket and one larger pocket behind it that can
be used to hold documents or receipts. On the right side of the leather travelers journal, is a
slightly deeper pocket. One of the best features of the new leather travelers journals in the
leather pen holder which is big enough to fit my new favorite pen. I have used clips in the past
to hold pens but it is always nice when a manufacturer includes them in the design. As you
can see there is also a zipper pocket located on the right side of the Prima Marketing Leather
Travelers Journal. It has a nice heavy duty zipper that works perfectly for me.
You can purchase personal sized notebook inserts from Prima which are sold in sets. I got the Pastels notebook set which includes 4 inserts. I really like the quality of the paper used in the Prima Marketing Travelers Notebook inserts and will be ordering more to use as refills.
The leather Prima travelers journal itself measures 5 x 7.25” when folded. Because this cover is leather there is a bit of stretch to it. I was able to stuff it with my Hobonichi Techo and two inserts and it stretched to 2 inches and has held up very well. The leather Prima travelers journal in personal size sells for $39.99 on the My Prima Planner site and does not come with inserts, so don't forget to order some. Anyway, I was able to stuff my Hobonich Techo and three inserts into it. Here is a side view of that.
Another great feature on these is that they are so easy to personalize.
I personalized my journal with a simple rhinestone initial. I loved how the warm stone leather travelers journal looked new. However, I really prefer the distressed well-used look on my travelers' notebooks. So I decided to distress it by using my jeans to rub different parts of the cover to give a more aged look.
I also dropped it on some rocks. It even survived being borrowed by my dog who chewed a small bit of it. It still looks great and now it has that rugged well-loved look.
I then added some of the cute swap items that were given to me at the Prima Magical Event and a decorative elastic that I got from the pop-up Etsy event in Santa Ana, California.
My friend purchased the peach colored leather personal travelers journal and I really like it too. I may order one of those so I can switch between the two journals. Between the excellent quality of the "My Prima Planner" products, the ease of daily use and being able to switch between the various planners, my Prima collection seems to just keep growing. Also, for those who may not know it, Prima Marketing also offers some really cool cling stamps that are great for using in their new traveler's notebooks, along with some fun planner sticker collections. You can see more at their website or blog.
Note: I do not work for Prima Marketing. I paid for these products with my own money. The opinions and experiences I had with these products are my own and may vary from other individuals.
