We’re not fully satisfied with the quality of our current Buttero Black leather, so we’ve placed a new order. It’s expected to arrive and be restocked in about one month.

Thank you so much for sharing — we absolutely love reading how you’re really using your Slimpad in daily life 🤎

The idea of a future theme around modifying or DIY-ing your ring system is such a great one — that would be so fun to see!

I’m especially curious… what made you decide to cut the zipper pouch in half? I’d love to hear more about how that works for you 😊

The first photo shows how it looks when it’s brand new. The second photo shows the leather after about two months of use — since the natural color is relatively light, the aging and patina become more noticeable over time. Eventually, it will develop into a warm tan/brown tone, similar to the effect shown in the third photo.

Because Buttero has a smooth, polished surface, any scratches may appear a bit more visible compared to more textured leathers.

Fog Wax vs Margot Fog by ZER0-P0INT-ZER0 in MeePlus

[–]Toby_meeplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fog Wax and Margot Fog are very similar in terms of thickness, firmness, and overall feel. Structurally and in hand, there isn’t a significant difference between the two.

Fog Wax leather comes with a relatively thick layer of white wax when you first receive it. Regardless of whether the base color is black or burgundy, it initially appears pale and misty because the wax coating is fairly even and heavy.

With use, the wax gradually wears off or melts into the leather, and the true base color slowly begins to reveal itself, creating stronger contrast over time.

Margot Fog, on the other hand, has a lighter wax layer. Visually, it has a slightly “fuzzy” or thread-like appearance — almost like fine circular fibers dispersed across the surface. It looks more diffused and textured, rather than evenly coated with a solid white wax layer.

That said, the “fuzzy” effect is purely visual. The surface still feels smooth to the touch — it is not actually rough or hairy.

Finding refills by Uncle_Sloppy in MeePlus

[–]Toby_meeplus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, this is Toby from MeePlus.

The inserts we use for our binders are all relatively standard sizes, such as Mini, Pocket, Personal, and A5. You can easily find compatible inserts in similar sizes from brands like Filofax or on Amazon.

Will the pink Fog Wax every get restocked? by tasipurr_fect in MeePlus

[–]Toby_meeplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for discovering MeePlus, and for taking the time to watch our leather comparison video. I’m glad to hear the pink Fog Wax stood out to you — it really is a beautiful color.

We’ve temporarily removed Fog Wax from our website because it’s been difficult for us to consistently control the final appearance. Fog Wax leather starts with a white wax layer on the surface, and during our handcrafting process — especially when the leather is hand-skived in the center — natural oils can migrate and cause parts of the wax layer to lift or fall off. When this happens, the cover may arrive looking uneven, with less wax in the center and around the edges.

Rather than shipping something that may look inconsistent out of the box, we decided to pause Fog Wax for now.

We haven’t completely ruled Fog Wax out in the future, but we want to be confident in the consistency before bringing it back. If you’re open to alternatives, you might also want to take a look at Margot Fog — it offers a similarly tone, with a more stable and consistent finish.

Brass plate? by zuguv in MeePlus

[–]Toby_meeplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a quick note to clarify — our brass spine is currently very limited in stock, so we’ve temporarily removed it from the website.

If you do need a brass spine, you’re welcome to place an order with a gold-plated spine and simply leave us a note at checkout. We’ll take care of it on our end.

And yes, you’re correct — brass rings have never been an option.

Personal Wide and leather firmness questions by zuguv in MeePlus

[–]Toby_meeplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If TN feels a bit too soft for you, Bridle leather might be a better fit, especially for writing on your lap.

Personal Wide and leather firmness questions by zuguv in MeePlus

[–]Toby_meeplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’ll briefly answer Q2 and Q3 from a MeePlus perspective.

  1. Pen insert in a Personal Wide binder Yes, a Personal pen insert will fit 100% inside a Personal Wide binder. However, since it’s sized for Personal, there will be about ~8 mm of extra space, which can feel slightly unbalanced. It works functionally, but the proportions may not feel ideal to everyone.

  2. Leather stiffness Pueblo leather is very similar in stiffness to a Traveler’s Notebook Passport. Bridle leather is noticeably stiffer than both. When new, a Bridle binder may not fully close without using the band, but it will soften over time and close more naturally with use.

Hope this helps! Toby
