In a way, it is a passport into the journey of your life. Traveling abroad, you get a stamp on your passport. Moving forward in the journey of your life, you can write down your experiences in this passport-sized notebook. It comes in a package which contains the brown leather cowhide cover, a blank notebook, a cotton case, and a spare closure rubber band (of a different color).

The more you use it, the more unique texture the cowhide cover acquires. The leather cover, whose texture is simple yet attractive, is made in Chiang Mai. They "chop" cowhide, tanned with tannin taken from plants, into pieces. Then, rubber is tied to the piece with tin clasps. It's as simple as that.

Insistence on the best writing comfort. Notebook refills are made of Midori's original diary paper, developed especially for the best writing comfort possible. You can write on it with a fountain pen with little need to worry about bleed-through. In pursuit of the best writing experience possible, the paper is carefully crafted in Japan.

Go on a journey! The perfect size for carrying. You can put small maps and tickets, etc. in the notebook.

Customized for you! The simple design lends itself to the colors of your choice. As you use the notebook more and more, the leather will develop a richer color and will become imbued with your individuality.

Package contents:
  • Cotton Bag / (165mm x 120mm)
  • Leather Cover / (134mm x 98mm, 10mm deep)
  • Blank notebook (64 pages) / (124mm x 89mm)

Small and handy passport notebook

Small and handy passport notebook. The leather is beautiful and comes with a blank insert.

Excellent notebook holder!

I am using this to hold a booklet of daily prayers that change from month to month. It fits easily inside my Mass book on Sunday, a pocket, or my backpack. It will protect my prayer booklet while giving a distinguished appearance.

It just feels so nice!

Everyone knows the TN, but one of the amazingly unexpected features is just how exquisite this “simple” product feels in the hand…the texture of the leather and the way it all fits together is fantastic…makes me want to whip it out and scribble something at every opportunity!

Small, Simplistic, & Sanity Saving

I always find myself coming back to goulet time and time again, year after year. This past year I opened my own business and my workload doubled. I needed a calender to keep up with appointments, to do lists, homemaker tasks, my daily Journaling, and before I knew it I was carrying around 20 pounds of paper in one form or another. I had received a normal sized travelers journal from Amazon as a gift and turned it into a herbalists journal but never looked deeper into the idea. Boy Pinterest sold me and here I am! This tiny passport sized piece of leather is the best thing I'll ever have, I got every refill I could and and trying until I find what works best for Me, and that statement is what makes this such a cool idea, I condensed my wallet, to do list, sourdough/ kombucha logs, appointment calender, receipt holder and daily journal into this thing! Holy Wow is all I can say. And goulet was amazing with shipping, packaging, and knowledge as always. I'm sure I'll be using this for years and years to come.

Highly recommended!

I am beyond ecstatic regarding this purchase. It is everything I need in a compact form. It is functional and so much more than useful and fits in a pocket!

Tough

I love this notebook! I was concerned that it would be too small and not useful enough to justify the price (it is on the expensive side), but it is amazing. It fits in my pocket well and the leather is really thick so it holds up to the abuse of being carried.

Best purchase in my lifetime

I use this as a wallet and notebook using the card and craft inserts. That paired with Tamoe River paper insert makes this the perfect accessory for any pen enthusiasts who just wants to practice lettering while sitting in a lobby without having to carry around a notebook all the time I recommend putting this in your pocket as I use mine as my wallet as well and carry your pen in a pen sleeve in your front pocket absolutely love my Travelers notebook

Travelers notebook

So far I love the note book. As a contractor I am constantly on my phone. The notebook fits perfectly into my back pocket so I always have something to write notes on. Also it makes it much easier to look at my schedule ( which is also on my phone) when on the phone. I added a second strap using the one that closed the packaging to facilitate the replacement of the note paper.

Goes EVERYWHERE with me.

Great little backup notepad for obsessive-compulsive note takers like myself. The size makes it great for just keeping in the back pocket for the times when I walk away from my desk without a notebook, but ended up needing it anyway. I'm not a bullet journal-er yet, but this little guy helps me catch important things on paper so I can transfer them to my workhorse notebook and from vanishing forever.

This thing is terrific

My wallet was falling apart so I thought about using this as a replacement. It is perfect. It is just barely bigger than a cell phone, I have a calendar, notebook, plastic card holders, craft paper folder and extra stickers. It hold everything!!! All my IDs (I have 3) all my cards, all my cash(when I have some) my BAR license, gift cards and even a pen. I bought the pen holder and my Kaweco Sport fits perfectly across the top. Now I always have pen, paper, calendar, cards and cash on me!!!!! Can not recommend this thing enough.

I was particularly excited to receive this notebook and was not disappointed. I have yet to go a day without this notebook. It has taken the place of my wallet and is extremely useful in organizing my life.

Cool Little Notebook

This is a cool little notebook. I got the passport size to carry in my purse. It does have kind of a funky smell, but I love the way it looks and feels, and the options for setting it up. I was torn between the brown and the camel but went with the brown, and am really happy with the color. I like it's rustic look. Also, the plain paper in the included notebook is very nice quality. I have tried it with an Herbin ink which takes quite a long time to dry, and a Diamine ink which seemed to dry much more quickly. I also bought the lined paper and the weekly planner for it. I find this a much more satisfactory way to keep up with my schedule than the calendar on my phone.

Very satisfied!!

I love the perfect size of this Notebook (passport size). I haven't had one this small, but have often wished I did. Thoroughly enjoying it!

Worth it (for me)!

I needed a new notebook with fountain-pen-friendly paper options, and the Traveler's Notebook in passport size was a choice that I have been very pleased with. The size is great for carrying around (fits in many different pockets), and the modular system works quite well for me. The leather cover is quite durable, so I can certainly see myself regularly using this notebook for a long time!Some specific notes: 1) The paper is quite nice, in my opinion. I have blobbed ink (accidentally) on several occasions, and even after running to grab some paper towel to blot it up there was absolutely no bleed-through. 2) I have incorporated the weekly calendar insert (previously, I have only used digital calendars) and my life has become vastly more organized as a result. 3) As an overwriting leftie, I expected to potentially have some trouble writing comfortably at different page-positions and locations within the notebook setup but I have been pleasantly surprised. The size seems ideal for me in that I don't really find myself thinking about navigating the notebook and instead just write.Hope this helps someone!

Midori Travelers Notebook (Passport)

I bought this notebook based on a review that I come across while searching for a leather cover for my Pocket Leuchtturm 1917. I cannot state enough how much I like this notebook. Everything about it is amazing, from the leather cover right down to the refills. The fact that this notebook is completely customizable it what makes it even better. I have used Moleskine and Leuchtturm 1917 pocket notebooks in the past but I will never go back to them after having my Midori for about 3 weeks. I know some people have balked at the price, but in my opinion it is priced correctly. The leather alone is worth the price. I have mine set up with 4 inserts. I have the Blank paper, lined paper, weekly calendar and the Kraft pocket insert and the notebook fits easily in my front pocket along with my fountain pen.As far as the paper is concerned. I have found the paper to be very good. If have used a medium nib Cross fountain and it had good absorption without bleeding through. I have also used an Extra Fine point nib Conklin Nighthawk and there is no bleed through as is barley visable through the paper. The only thing that I wish it came with a couple of extra rubber bands to attach the inserts. Yes you can just use regular office rubber bands instead of buying the Midori bands.Again this is by far the best Notebook/Journal I have ever used and I highly recommend it for anyone. From the most intense journaler to the novice. It has something for everyone.

Love it

Got this notebook as a Christmas gift from my wife. I love it. The convenience of the passport size is great for keeping with me and taking note of things throughout my day.

Perfect for to-do lists and general jotting

In my beautiful, functional, rugged Traveler's notebook, analog to-do lists are so much more satisfying than a phone-app list. The pen loop fits my small Pelikan nicely.

Great Notebook!

I bought this notebook and love the leather cover and flexibility to add inserts. Definitely a winner!

So happy !

Ok, I usually don't review stuff, but this is amazing. This thing looks very good and the feeling of holding this in your hand is great. I hesitated at first because it is an expensive little piece of cow, but now that I can touch it, I can tell this thing is going to last me a lifetime. I bought it for the practical side: It's dead simple and delivers. The blank that comes with it and the ruled refills are surprinsingly interesting. I had never seen that quality and feeling on such a thin paper. It is absorbing just enough to dry slighly faster than Clairefontaine or Rhodia while keeping crisp lines and nice shadings. And thin is a big plus when trying to travel light but still pack many pages. The perforation is also pretty good.Out of curiousity, I tried it with a 5.5 notebook (Clairefontaine) to see if the size fits. It overshoots a tiny bit, but so little that it's actually nice. Just be careful if you have accessories to put in there: Because the 5.5 is bigger, it stretches the elastic a little more and the accessories behind it become somewhat loose. If you're only in for the notebook, then 5.5 is fine. There are a few minor downsides:The elastic is tied on the middle of the back which makes a bit of a bump when writing on a flat surface. It's not that big of a deal if your notebooks have somewhat of a backing (the modori refills do) or if you have something like the kraft pocket. I also got the zippered pocket but the zipper is big and annoys me to the point of taking it out. The kraft pocket is a much better option.

Brown Passport

There is not much to say, it is a nice piece of dark brown leather that should wear gracefully with time. Fits very well in my front pant pocket; not bulging. Included in my system is the grid refill and the zippered pocket accessory. Total thickness is under 1/2 inch. Suggestion: For he price one pays, include a spare rubber band either as a replacement or to add refills notebooks. Already includes an elastic outer tie why not a rubber band as well?A bit pricy for what it is, but you are paying for the concept, design as well as the quality of materials used; very high quality. Add a few more replacement parts to start you off and to give it added value.

Awesome Cover

I have tried carrying little notebooks like this in the past, spiral bound and the like. They seem to melt in your pocket, turning into ground up and occasionally soggy pulp. Not to mention, I find many of them thicker than is comfortable to keep in the back pocket. This cover just rocks it. thin and pliable enough to forget that it's there. The thick leather, is not just exactly as pliable as it needs to be, but it protects the paper perfectly, no more pocket-o-pulp. I spent a week at a convention and had many important but unplanned discussions over meals. I never lacked for a place to jot down important ideas or key thoughts. Absolutely saved me.

Quality

I like that this notebook fits my shirt pockets. I have mine configured to handle three notebooks. It feels substantial and has just the right amount of thickness. The leather is quality and the band that holds it together is solid. It is a bit expensive, but it is high quality, convenient and serves my purposes well. Over all I am glad I made the purchase, it was exactly what I was looking for. I have it with me everyday. If your looking for a very customizable notebook, this is a very good solution.

Such a clever system, that...

works well with 1 to 3 notebooks. It can become your constant companion for notes, sketches, ideas and insights.

This notebook system is always at hand when I need it. The ability to carry multiple notebooks in a single discrete system is something that I personally enjoy.
