Hi Friends,
I got this Midori Regular Size Leather Cover from my brother. Then I went to Maido SF Stationery Shop in Japan Town, San Francisco. I bought the refills from there for the Leather Cover and totally loved the same.
Check it out as I set up my first time with Midori's Leather journal cover in brown colour. My brother bought the same way back in 2014-15 hence you will see the back of the cover is written with MIDORI MADE IN THAILAND as compared to the new ones which mention Traveler's Company.
Judging by the product being a decade old now the quality can be felt as soon as you take it in your hands. It has grown into a unique texture of its own as it travelled from the USA to Australia and back over the last 10+ years. The Midori (TRC) leather cover is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime purchase in terms of quality etc. I am sure I am going to buy the passport version whenever I go to Japan. Earlier I was thinking that I was going to buy this one also from Japan but my brother offered me his and I could not decline once I held the same in my hands.
I bought the refills for the same and they are numbered as well and the same was around USD 6.50 each including taxes. I bought 01, 02 and 03 because I just wanted to try them out first before venturing into another from the range. I paid around USD 170 at the shop. I bought an Urushi gel pen, fountain pens, inks, a mystery box, ink swatch paper and these journals. They are made of Midori Paper which can easily take all kinds of fountain pens. The paper is really soft and smooth to the touch and the writing glides on the same. I am writing in multiple lines and not following the one-lined pattern as I just want to write first and execute the ideas written rather than worrying about the beautification of the journal. It's my journal and I am not concerned about my handwriting till the time I can read it.
