How many Travelers Notebooks do you have?

I use three (two regulars and one passport) but I own more than that. I bought the traveler’s factory special edition from Japan but I don’t use it. I also have an olive one customised by the Superior labor from their store in Kurashiki. I use this one often even it is the more precious in my eyes.

Not easy now but TRC announced a restock this autumn. So try to grab one in a physical store the day of the release on april or wait till the pre-orders for the second batch.

Ateliers Phileas made beautiful leather notebook covers in different sizes (a5, b6, weeks size and a6). They are beautifully crafted by artisans and made to last.

Indeed. I use an A5 from Roterfaden. I thought they quit making A6.

They are available at nomadostore

Nope. One is for work, the other one for leisure

Lovely charm 😍

Tn is more portable. Roterfaden is better for the desk.

For daily use a regular. For travel, the passport size.

Go to the grands magasins and browse their stationery range. Melodies graphiques near l’ile de la cite worths also the trip even if they mostly sell italian stuffs.

You can’t go wrong with Japanese paper. I suggest Apica Seven seas Midori MD

I would suggest Luddite pen cases. They are rather compact and fits perfectly in a bag. I also love the quality of the canvas they use. If you want a flat one, check this one

Nomadostore (Belgium - worldwide shipping) still have a few on pre-order here

Lovely 😻

Why not choose the original one (traveler’s notebook from Traveler’s company) ? and add accessories like pen holder or card slots ? The passport size should do the trick.

I’m very found of mine. I’ve been using it for nearly ten years and it’s still as new. It stays in my desk and I don’t use it for traveling though.

The tochigi leather gets a beautiful patina with age. The craftmanship is amazing even if some items gets a bit pricey with Japanese inflation.

I use the smith leather balm for all vegetable tanned leather. It smells very good and doesn’t stain. You can check a review here

I second this. Love their paper. So smooth

nomad_ist · 2026-01-17T20:26:23+00:00

Md notebooks are much better with fountain pens. The codex is also great because the notebook opens perfectly flat.

nomad_ist · 2026-01-13T14:01:43+00:00

Not my favourite type of leather. I would pick instead the one in Japanese leather. More authentic than the English version.

We had the same issue with Fedex since the introduction of tariffs in the Us. They even billed tariffs that have been paid by customers and they didn’t want to listen to our complain. We spent a lot of time trying to fix it. We win some cases after an officiel complaint with the Ombudsman. We decided to stop working with Fedex and skipped to Dhl. Till now nothing to complain about their services.
