Ottergami A5 Notebook Hardback - The Pro Lined Journal - 192 Pages, Thick 150gsm Paper Note Book - Luxury Vegan Leather Journals for Women & Men - Work & University Essentials (Brown)

Bought for bullet journaling and habit tracking. Specifically wanted a dot grid as it gives more flexibility in setting out the page. Very thick pages that do not cause ink to ghost or sink through. Dots are slightly darker than other brands, which can be a preference issue for some. Hardback cover that protects the contents well and isn't easily damaged. May be slightly small for those who like to be decorative in their journals, a B5 size might be better for those.Pros:• Thick, high-quality paper with no ink bleed-through or ghosting• Durable hardback cover protects contents well• Flexible dot grid for custom layouts• Ideal for bullet journaling and habit trackingCons:• Dots are darker than some may prefer• A5 size might feel small for those who prefer larger layouts

Love this journal, pages are smooth and hold ink well. The dots are just the right spacing for bullet journalling and the elastics hold up well over time. Love the colour, and it's an ideal size to fit in a bag. The stencils aren't much use- the sizing doesn't always match the dots but it'll give you some ideas.

This is BY FAR the BEST journal I have EVER bought and I have gone through quite a few of the big main branded ones.Where do I start 😌 ...Page thickness is amazing! I do all sorts in my journal I paint, stick, colour everything and I write like weirdo so I push my pen down really hard for some unknown reason. But these pages are incredible its so hard for anything to go through them! This is something I find lacks greatly with other journals the pages are so damn thin you can see everything on the other side 🙄The number of pages you get is brilliant! I easily filled all of mine because its my yearly planner but I managed to get each week over 2 pages and even had some to spare at the end!I am also so grateful that the pages aren't numbered I dont know why but it annoys me when they do that.I love the little pocket at the back, sooo useful to put random stuff in like cheques, receipts, little notes and cute drawings my kids give me to look at on a bad day.The thickness and stability of this journal is astounding too! I honestly thought it may have fallen apart by now (ill update if it does by the end of the year haha) but its so study im really impressed.The only two things I would have to niggle at is that I would have liked a pen holder loop as I've had to now buy one elsewhere and am annoyed the colour won't match but nothing to lose my mind over!And I would have like it if the journal had two ribbon page savers because I do find myself jumping back and forth and would just find that extra ribbon a life saver.But honestly apart from that its 1,000,000% worth the money and I will definitely be getting another one for 2022!!

Really lovely journal, pages are thick so there isn't any ink transfer to the next page (unless using sharpies). The pages easy to write on or use the dots to draw and create tables etc. The book itself is a really lovely colour with a soft leather touch to it which hasn't faded since purchasing.Only reducing it to four stars as I was quite disappointed the other day when journalling that the stencils where not in the back of the notebook as listed in the description but it was too late to return as I had already started journalling in it.

I felt I really had to write a review about the Ottergami A5 vegan leather bullet journals.There are dozens (and hundreds) of journals for sale on Amazon but Ottergami have won me over with a combination of great presentation, high quality and price.The vegan leather covers feel fantastic; the paper feels incredibly luxurious and there is a lot of journal for your money at 192 pages. You get the expected ribbon bookmark and pocket at the back. But what really sold me was the presentation. When the journal arrives it's in a good quality lift off box and the journal itself is wrapped in paper to protect the cover. To me this attention to presentation - while clearly a good marketing tactic - shows a level of extra effort that I appreciate.The quality of the whole journal is apparent when you're actually writing in it - it certainly feels like it should cost twice as much.I now have two of these Ottergami journals - I tend to get through a fair number of journals in a year. I expect to be buying more from Ottergami in the future. Bravo!

The paper is super thick and no issues using a fountain pen, I have always used moleskin or Rhodia note books but will be sticking with these going forward.

I bought this to use as a journal after looking at a number of options and I couldn't be happier.The paper is excellent, smooth, and great to write on with a fountain pen. It's a very light ivory, not too yellow and easy on the eyes. There's also no bleed through, even with my fine liners which are notorious for it. The dots are spot on too, helpful guides for drawing and writing, yet unintrisive.The faux leather is soft to the touch and makes the whole book feel good in the hand. The sewn binding also allows the book to lay flat when open and has pleasing red and white sewn endbands.It came beautifully presented, wrapped inside a sturdy box, and would make an excellent gift.I'll definitely be buying this again and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fantastic quality notebook or journal, whether for themselves or as a gift for someone else.

This is my third Ottergami notebook. The pages are great to write on, and the notebook is put together really well. The design is lovely too! I would love to see more colours/patterns available in the future :)
