These binder covers are so cool! I'm excited to ditch all my random notebooks/journals for something that can be easily replenished, holds pages that can easily be scanned into the computer and looks amazing. I have always liked having full pages for writing and the option to lay them flat (which most nice notebooks don't have). I also like that I can add almost anything to the binder depending on what I'm working on at the moment by simply using a three-hole punch. The leather is so nice - the color is beautiful and I just love touching it. I got complimented on it the very first time I used it at a meeting.There was a small issue with the binder I received at first and the owner of the company responded to my communication almost immediately and went above and beyond to solve the problem. I was so impressed with the immediacy and thoroughness of their customer service; it's so rare for that to be the case! We were so happy with the quality, design and company that my husband bought one too and loves it (they have some cool options on their website, like one with a built in pocket in the back which is the type my husband got). For reference in the picture, I got the Espresso (on the left) and my husband got the Shale (on the right).When you think about how much money you spend on single-use notebooks (especially if you want one that looks even half this nice), you realize that this is a way better option. This is my new favorite item in my bag and I keep looking for reasons to take it out and use it.
