Such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship

This is such a beautiful and well-crafted journal cover. Popov Leather takes great pride in their craftsmanship and I was so impressed that I ordered a second journal cover that I can carry with me everywhere.

Excellent quality!

Quality is super but what I really love is the smell. During stressful days at work I’ll pull out my A5 cover and give it a whiff and serenity is restored😁.

Beautiful leather

Lovely cover that's been traveling in my work bag. Deep black color and very luxurious to the touch.

Fanboy of Popov

Got a new sized sketchbook and had to get a leather to match my other Popov everyday carry stuff. Field Notes size for thoughts, A6 cover for Stalogy 365 work notes, and now the A5 for sketching. The Airtag case and beltloop keychain also!

Delightful!!

LOVE the loops that hold the the book shut with a pen. The leather's feel and smell are delightful. Love the engraving. (Bought 2 belts too after I saw the quality.)

A beautiful and functional work of art destined to be an heirloom

This journal cover couldn't have arrived soon enough, as this was a birthday and Father's Day gift (that I picked out) from my wife and daughters. I've used hardbound A5 journals for years (alternating between Leuchtturm 1917 and Endless Recorder notebooks. Both of those notebooks work great with my fountain pens but had never put my notebooks in a cover before. I was missing out. The supple and gorgeous full grain leather smells amazing, the hand-saddle-stitching with red "tiger" thread is perfect, the creative yet simple design elements (including a back pocket slit for the journal's elastic strap), beautiful and free cover engraving, and the incorporated leather pen loop has thankfully stretched enough to accommodate most of my fountain pens. This journal cover ticks so many boxes for me, as I absolutely things made from leather, waxed canvas, or other materials that remind me of the great outdoors. Even before it arrived I knew this beautiful journal cover would become an heirloom and so I chose this model (Heritage Brown leather with scarlet red stitching) to coincide with the Scripture reference engraved on the cover. Constructive feedback (which doesn't diminish my rating): the back pocket slit for the notebook's elastic doesn't align ideally with either of the journals I use, as it's cut about .25" too close to the right edge...even when the right cover is pushed all the way into the pocket. As such, the elastic (when resting in the back cover, not holding the journal and cover shut) seems to pull back into the slit which results in the journal's back cover moving around and sometimes getting caught on that slit when closing the notebook. Also, I sort of expected the cut edges to be a bit more burnished upon arrival, but they will develop their own natural patina and lustre over time. It's been less than a week since my journal cover has arrived and I now see that you're discontinuing my A5 journal cover design in favor of a soon-to-be announced redesign. I'm intrigued to see if the new design will address this. All in all, I loved everything about the shopping and ordering process (including your YouTube videos showing your team making various products). I also love your design and branding aesthetic. In fact, you've made me want wear more flannel, move into the wilderness, and to take up leather crafting (which is a totally unrealistic ambition at this stage of my life...which simply means I'll just be buying more Popov Leather goods)!

Sturdy cover - built to last

My first impression of this brown cover was how tough and sturdy it felt. The deep brown cover looks really nice, and the leather smells great. It is really an excellent product, and I expect it to age nicely over time.

5 Star Everything

I received this journal and I am stunned at the quality. All hand stitched and delivered to Australia for about half the price I could buy one here. Mr Popov and staff you guys really set the bar high. They will even custom make things. Best company I have ever dealt with.

Black beauty

Stunning black leather and navy thread combo. This is a gorgeous thick leather, durable, beautifully sewn, smells incredible, even the subtle engraved monogram is just right. The other piece of brilliance is the slit in the back inside cover - it lets you use the elastic that is on your notebook (Leuchtturm, etc) to keep the leather cover closed. I now own 3 of these, and I might be back for another. These are not cheap, but quality never is. This leather cover will outlast me. Love it. Thank you!

Best Daytimer Cover So Far

I purhcased this cover for my Daytimer Journal Edition 2 Page Per Day and it fits perfectly. I appreciate how stys flat, making note taking a breeze. You can tell this is made with quality materials; I'm looking forward to the Patina developing over time. I do wish it had some method of remaining closed/keeping the contents secured but a very minor issue. Looking forward to seeing a laptop bag developed in the future!Geoffrey

Nice Cover

This was a very nicely made product and I keep my sketching notebook inside. I particularly like the pencil or pen Attachment.

May 2020 and Sept 2021 - perfection!

Love this planner cover. As an adjunct instructor It's my constant companion. Gets thrown into my commute bag, into the classroom, then to the office desk at home. Best planner cover I've had covering 40 years of administrative work. Can't beat Horween leather for daily use. Think I have 10 Popov products and love them all. They wear very well. Photos are 20 May 20 and today, 23 Sep 21.

Premium Full Grain Heritage Brown Leather

Our full grain leather is for people who want to put their own mark on our goods through patina and every-day use. Full grain leather is highly-sought after due to its unique characteristics such as scarring, marbling, and variations in color tone. Every product we make is truly one-of-a-kind and unlike anything you can buy in a department store.

Sewn by Hand

All our products are sewn by hand using the traditional "saddle-stitch" method. We use Ritza 25 Tiger thread, a polyester braided thread, which is flattened and lightly waxed, making it extremely strong and ideal for hand-sewing. Many leather-workers consider it to be the best thread in the world.
