They are a great shop with excellent customer service and they have a huge range of Midori products. Thank you so much to The Journal Shop for sending me all this stuff to use, keep and write about. You can read Part Two, all about the refills, here. Check back soon to find out all about the standard range of Midori refills. The refills are a proprietary size but the Midori Traveler’s Notebook is so popular there are many non-Midori options. What you have, then, at its most basic, is a very high quality leather cover that will hold up to six refills. (Chris Davis of the wonderful Davis Leatherworks has put together this great guide about how to do this with his fantastic Field Notes covers.) You can buy additional bands, called and use them to hold up to three refills in each loop, making for a rather bulging six refills if you’re feeling ambitious. The band has two loops inside the cover and so will hold two refills. I’ll write about the refill in part two but what you need to know for now is that it’s held in place with an elastic band that’s threaded through the spine of the back cover and held tight with a tin fastener. You also get a cotton carry case, which is just a simple (though lovely) bag, not something I’ve found useful, and a plain paper refill. This band wraps around the cover to hold it closed. When you buy a cover you will also receive a coloured elastic band (actually two, one as a spare) that is held in place with a knot inside the centre of the back cover. This isn’t the solution you are looking for if you like your notebooks to remain in pristine condition. Midori Notebooks are meant to be used and the leather ages beautifully (and quickly) as it picks up scuffs and scratches. The only mark on it is a simply stamped ‘Midori Made in Thailand’. The leather, which is available in dark brown or black (with other options sometimes available as special editions), is thick and durable. There are two sizes, the standard size (that I have) which is 12cm by 22cm (about as tall as an A5 notebook but a few centimetres slimmer) and the smaller pocket size which is 10cm by 13.5cm. Part two will cover refills and part three will dip a toe ever so slightly into the vast array of accessories.Īt it’s most basic, the Midori Traveler’s Notebook is a simple leather cover with an elastic band to hold notebooks inside, an elastic band to hold it closed and a thread to mark your page (like the ribbon you get in many notebooks). This first part is an introduction to the basic system and the cover. In an effort to help people who were in my situation to decide if the Traveler’s Notebook is for them and, if so, know where to start, here is the first of a three part guide. Then a month or so ago the rather wonderful Journal Shop were kind enough to send me a starter pack for me to try and to write about. I’ve spent quite a long time looking at it all from afar, not quite knowing where to begin. It’s quite pricy to get into and there is an overwhelming number of options. The Midori Traveler’s Notebook is legendary but, to me at least, quite intimidating.
