Let customers speak for us
from 5233 reviewsSo so beautiful, i am so pleased with this. I will be ordering another joirnal.
The quality is excellent. Bought as a gift for my wife and she loves it! Very happy with the purchase and the seller is very kind and responsive.
I can't express enough how beautiful these journals are. The leather feels so nice, not to thin but not overly thick. The cut/finish is pristine! I will definitely return!
Alyssia was so communicative and attentive. The quality is excellent and the customization was done exactly as requested. When I want another journal cover, this will be the place to order it from!
Just received my order, it did take longer than I had expected but with the holidays it was understandable! The journal is gorgeous and I cannot wait to use it, definitely an heirloom item! Alyssia was incredible during the whole process, cannot recommend Forest Nine enough!
I got this journal as a Christmas gift for a close friend and she was delighted with the results. She could tell it was high quality and reckoned it would last her a lifetime. The journal maker allowed me to make several customization requests and choices that really put a personal touch on it and make it a more unique gift than I could have gotten from most journal retailers, and I'm very grateful for all her assistance in making this a truly special journal.
Refillable trifold leather journal cover - Inserts sold seperately
Absolutely worth the wait. High quality product and presentation that is the perfect size and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you SOOO much.
This journal is even better in person. The materials feel substantial, the design is thoughtful, and it’s the kind of journal that makes you want to sit down and write. Packaged carefully and arrived in perfect condition.
Beautiful and exceeded my expectations!!
This is by far my favorite purchase I’ve made on Etsy. I’ve been looking at buying a leather journal for a while but didn’t want to spend $400+ on one, so I came to Etsy to see what options I could find. The seller was amazing, she answered all my questions quickly and customized it exactly how I wanted. I didn’t want a flower but a mushroom and she gave me exactly that. I am so happy with the way it turned out and it’s amazing quality . I loved the packaging also . I most definitely will be purchasing from her again!
OBSESSED is an understatement. I am so so glad I chose Forest Nine for a leather journal. An affordable option with unmatched quality.
Leather Refillable Journal (Dark Brown) - elastic closure.
Ordered in December and received 5 weeks later so well within the delivery window and totally worth it. Journal is gorgeous and they were even able to add a monogram shortly before shipping when I changed my mind at the eleventh hour.
Ordered the refill notebooks with it, but was able to fit 2 hardcover notebooks I already had on the go in it perfectly.
Very happy with the purchase and look forward to using it!!!
Very well-made. High quality and classy. Super value for the price. It will last a lifetime.
Very high quality and classy. The journal itself is a thing of beauty and built to last forever. Everything was packed into the shipping box with a lot of care. Each item was in its own drawstring, fabiric bag.
