“The leather is lovely, the inserts are first class, the system of elastic closures works well. (And I love Le Loop!)
I am sorry that the journal itself is not a couple of centimeters wider. One cannot use the calendar and the notebook both, let alone add a few business cards or photos. The stack protrudes out of the journal, making it untidy. Alas, it can only be a calendar or a journal - not both.”
“I bought both a pocket size voyageur and an XL voyageur. I love the pocket size, it easily fits a yearly planner, organizer pocket and second notebook. It also seems a lot higher quality leather than the XL, which seems to crease very easily.
The XL does not fit much, I have three thin notebooks in there and the third one does not seem to fit in without sticking out the side no matter how I situate them. This damages the notebooks.
It definitely would benefit from being slightly wider. I chose the voyageur over the portfolio as I thought it would fit better in my hand bag but I am regretting not getting the portfolio as it is wider and the material is thicker as is double layered.
From the pictures of the writers bundle, it insinuates that you get a high quality bound book refill but you only get the thin stapled book refills which do not stay open on their own. I think the pictures should be changed for the people like me that do not look at the description properly.
Overall I still want to support the company as I believe in their vision but probably would not gravitate towards the voyageur books.”
“Why make a whole brand identity around the beauty of plain leather and then imprint your TACKY logo on the back of the journal? On top of that there is absolutely no photos provided on the website showing that the back side of the journal is different from the front, almost like you know people wouldn't purchase a piece of leather, which you effectively ruined by turning into an advertisement.”
“I was in a visit to Vienna last May. After seeing an ad on Instagram of your store, visiting the store was among my todo list in the city! So, I visited the place, met all the wonderful girls there. One girl took me on a tour of the place. I loved the work environment, the creativity, the care, and the enthusiasm! I treated myself with a whole lot of their products. A brown leather journal cover was one of them. Everyday I open my journal, I feel a lot of appreciation for the smell and the feel of it!
I’m visiting the website to buy new refills and I thought of leaving a comment to encourage people who think of buying one! Trust me (even though you don’t truly know me), the writing notebooks and this leather journal will upgrade your writing experience!! Thank you Paper Republic ❤️”
“I treated myself to the writer's kit and I'm very happy with it. The journal is absolutely beautiful and feels very high quality. You can truly feel the craft and love that went into it. It also comes in a gorgeous wooden box and I really appreciated the hand written thank you note! So lovely.
You can feel and see that these products are hand made, and absolutely worth the investment, especially if you enjoy journaling. I highly recommend this kit. I'm in love with mine!”
“I recently discovered the company on tiktok when searching for a refillable leather journal. I watched lots of videos, read reviews, and decided to take the leap. I couldn’t be more happy that I did! I’ve always had journals since I was a kid and only one other one felt like it was a forever journal. But it wasn’t refillable! I’ve been on the hunt since then, for over a decade. The grand voyageur XL has quickly become the journal I never want to replace, and thankfully will never have to, even when I run out of pages. Thank you paper republic for making such an amazing quality journal for the people who are sentimental about their writing companion that holds all of their inner most thoughts and ideas.”
“your writing experience enhanced and moved to the next step! very helpful staff, Fast Delivery. but most importantly high quality product! the packaging was nice yet compactly packed! haven't expected the texture so soft, can't understand unless you've got it in your hands! highly recommended.”
