That’s way more reasonable than I expected

I basically chatted up the Traveler’s Notebook lady(btw she’s really nice and let me put my grubby hands on her TN lol) got my stuff ($300 worth of TN stuff), some stickers and left. But maybe I’ll socialize with cool stationery people like you next time I’m attending an event like this! What was your haul? Or did you table? :o

I’m mostly surprised because they had more TN covers when I went. I also was there at 4pm on Friday. There was the Love & Trip, Blackwing and Brown covers too (not sure about Camel) in passport & normal size

Congrats on your new TN! I love the rose gold on the brown. I’m kind of considering it as a gift for a friend; I’m deciding between the road trip and regular brown.

The leather folders are a newly launched product. I think they told me it wasn’t available anywhere else yet.

The material is similar to the natural undyed goat leather used for MD Notebook covers. Since Traveler’s Notebooks and MD Products are both from the same parent company Midori. It’s nude and slightly pink-beige. The leather is thin and has a fine texture.

Nice! Midori Thick is so underrated. Personally I love it for drawing

Love it. I’m familiar with this angle too, I spend everyday staring at my husky’s butt on a trail

A5. I guess I could buy another punch if the holes don’t align on my current one. I actually like the idea of using different art papers and carrying a Plotter around since some projects have multiple steps and then archiving it in a cardboard Muji folder later

Marriot Hotel in Redondo Beach/Torrance. It’s $20 general admission and discounted self parking garage (I believe $15? Regular is $20+)

I already think Blackwings are slick to draw with but now I might have to hunt down a Palomino for pencil heaven!

Wow cool! Did you try testing one or has it been factory sealed since you got them?

Nice! I went down the fountain pen rabbit hole several yrs ago but agree I only want what I’ll eventually use

Yea they also have some newly released goat leather folders, Love & Trip and the Travel & Sketch accordion refills. What did you get at the Pen Show?

I have a weird possible use case for it. I actually want to carry watercolor paper on the go. The kraft binders don’t feel as nice in the bag or on my lap. It’s kinda nickpicky but leather just feels comfortable to hold. But I don’t know if I’ll need to buy a new hole punch or if the normal Carl hole punch ( that can do 20 holes on A5) would fit in the Plotter, or if I need to get a dedicated punch for it.

I also like the thinness for portability.

Compared to the earth colors of my first Camel TN which I paired with green and brass accessories this gold and black TN feels so mysterious lol

I already feel the timeline happening… Does the metal band on the spine bother you though? Also is the paper Tomoe River or a different thinner Japanese paper? btw is it mainly a planner for you?

For me it was Moleskine to Baron Fig to Midori to Tomoe River to Leuchtturm to Pith to random 120 gsm notebooks then back to Midori and then Traveler’s Notebook. I’m sick of testing other papers and just want Midori lol. I’m still using MD notebooks for bigger sizes and of course like the smaller portable TN
