The journal is beautiful! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The colors are spot on and the embossing looks amazing!
Absolute perfection. Worth the wait from Canada!
Alyssia, Beautiful journal inserts! Love the line spacing! I’m very pleased with my purchase and touched by your story. I’ll be back. We love Canada!! 🇨🇦❣️
This journal cover is so beautiful. The colour is so unique im so interested to see how it will look over time with use. This is not my first Forest Nine product. The quality is always amazing. The gold clip and the charm are the perfect addition to this journal. Cant wait to pair a pen with it
I love the quality and the beautiful packaging with a personal note.
My Forest Nine journal is more beautiful than I ever imagined. The owner, Alyssia, was very patient with me when I had trouble checking out and immediately responded to my email and sent me a custom link (since my old brain just didn’t get it). Her responsiveness and kindness made the actual purchase feel so good and so right. Before sending it, she checked in with me to make sure everything was done as I wanted. I already knew it would be something great, but it was even better! The leather is soft and supple and feels like a cloud in my hands…and it smells AMAZING! My Forest Nine journal is enchanting! I have many (too many) leather journals and 3 that are my favorite, but this new one holds a completely separate place in my heart. Thank you, Alyssia, for making this wonderful piece of art that is priceless to me. I highly recommend Forest Nine if you appreciate something that is hand made, with integrity and intention, just for you.
What a beautiful journal cover! I am so happy that I splurged on this!
Absolutely beautiful journal.
Very satisfied with the journal. It is of high quality, beautifully and carefully made and makes me smile every time I use it. Thank you Alyssia.
Trifold with full back pocket, secretarial pocket + small pocket
I am in love with my journal cover. I chose the violet colour and it is aging so beautifully. I have 3 notebooks inside it and I could definitely squeeze in another if I wanted to. Alyssia was so wonderful to work with and her craftmanship is fantastic.
This is actually my second purchase. My first was an oxblood in A5 and I fell so in love with it I needed an A6 immediately.
I got the red with silver elastic. I purchased a small star for the side and a black and silver geode for the clasp. The leather is beautiful and soft but firm enough to feel sturdy. It comes with 4 elastic already and they also include extra bands in your color and in black.
Stunned as always by the quality for the price, even the box and bag it comes in feels luxury. I just know I'll be making another purchase soon as I'm slowly replacing the journals I have with these 😄
This is now my second time ordering from forest nine and as expected the quality is amazing! An issue had come up with my order but Alyssia was extremely fast to resolve it. I now have 3 leather journal covers and I couldn't recommend this business enough ☺️
The most stunning leather journal I am absolutely blown away!!!!
