FAQ's
Q: Is the blank paper suitable for fountain pens?
A: Yes! The paper is thick & of high quality. Bleed through and ghosting is very unlikely with pens including fountain, and most water based fineliner markers. Not for use with sharpies.
Q: Can I use watercolor paints in my notebook?
A: You can do light washes, if you don't mind some warping. Many of my customers do this & are happy with the results - but this is not meant to replace a watercolor pad.
Q: Do I have to use Forest Nine brand inserts with my notebook cover?
A: No! You can use many brands of notebooks / inserts

Let customers speak for us
from 5140 reviewsOBSESSED 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.
The leather journal is absolutely beautiful and very well made, and the personalization is a lovely touch. I will definitely be buying from this company again.

The packaging was really special when it arrived and it was even more beautiful than I expected. I'm so happy with it. I haven't had it for very long, but feels good to own such a gorgeous cover and notebook system to hold my thoughts and ideas. Highly recommend! I got the saffron A5 with cobalt blue. Great combo!
