Hi! I'm Lauren and if you've been watching my channel over the last few
years, you've likely noticed my growing love for traveler's notebooks. Today I
wanted to review two TN covers from Webster's Pages which is the first
company that I ever bought a traveler's notebook from. First, one of the older
regular sized color crush notebook covers, and then one of the newer suede
pocket size ones. Now that I've been using both of these for a while, I wanted
to talk a bit more in depth about them than I have before. In case you're
considering buying a traveler's notebook yourself and you're comparing a lot of
different brands, because now, there are a lot more companies that make them, so it
can be a little trickier to narrow it down. Mine are also not new covers
anymore so you'll be able to see how they wear over time. Just because I feel
like I should say this, this is not a sponsored video in any way. I bought both
of these covers myself and I decided to review them on my own. Though I would
love to work with Webster's Pages someday if they will have me. So back
when I bought my very first travelers notebook, I decided to buy the Webster's
Pages regular size in the color Sedona. I was incredibly excited at the time, I'd
been doing a ton of research on traveler's notebooks online and I could
not wait to get my hands on one. Something about the whole system just
really inspired me and it got me back on my journaling kick, which I've been
meaning to get back into for years and never quite had the right system. And so
the reason that I bought this notebook in particular is that I loved the layout
of the pockets. When you open it up, it has this whole section in the front with
tons of places to put things, there's a bigger pocket here and a bigger pocket
here, which actually still has some stuff in it, I didn't totally empty it out.
There's a pocket on the back, there is an elastic pen loop which is my preference
for pen loops. It has four elastics on the inside, which means that you can fit
four notebooks in it without having to add any additional elastics to attach
them, which is really helpful. I find that three or four is kind of my favorite
amount to have in a notebook at one time. I don't like when they get too thick, but
I don't like when they're too thin either, I think that's kind of the
perfect happy medium. And the whole thing closes with a single elastic band that
you wrap around the whole thing. It's a little bit loose right now because there
are no notebooks in it. But I actually feel like it holds it closed pretty well. All
the Webster's pages notebooks have this little tag, which I find really helpful
cause I like to grab it and pull it in order to take the elastic off of there,
but I'm not sure how I would take this tag off if I
decided that I didn't want this to be the charm on my notebook. I actually have
added a different charm on top of that that I've put kind of in the center. So
once I got this notebook, I filled it up with a bunch of refills from traveler's
company as well as the blank Webster's pages one that came with the cover. I've
been writing in my daily traveler's notebook almost every day for more than
a year now, I have a travel journal that I don't work on quite so often cause I'm
always really busy on trips, but I do want to get better about that, but I
really love the system itself and I've been pretty happy with this cover as a
whole. This thing has come with me on a lot of adventures, my favorite thing
about it by far are these pockets. I've been able to fit so many extra things
which is really helpful when you're traveling! Being able to store a ton of
supplies like stickers and extra pieces of paper and things like that as well as
your pen, is super helpful with a traveler's notebook because when you do
travel, you don't want to be bringing a ton of stuff along with you and having
it mostly contained in this package is extremely helpful and really functional.
I haven't tried a ton of different traveler's notebooks, but this is
definitely my favorite layout as far as pockets go. I've found it to be the most
functional for what I find myself wanting to carry in my notebook. Another
thing about these notebooks is that they do fit the regular sized traveler's
company inserts, but they are wider than the travelers company covers. That means
that you can fit more notebooks inside of here without them spilling out along
the edge, it means that if you have a pen in the pen loop and you close it all up,
there is enough room for the pen along the edges of the notebooks, which is very
helpful. One downside is that they are not quite wide enough that you can reach
into the pockets without closing your refills first, so I have to kind of stop
what I'm working on in order to access these pockets, but it hasn't really been
that much of a hassle. The downside that I have been experiencing with this cover
after having used it for more than a year, is that I don't really like the way
it's wearing over time. This is not real leather, which is a plus for a lot of
people. There are plenty of ethical reasons to not use leather and so if you
are looking for a traveler's notebook that is not made out of leather, this is
a really good option and honestly it's one of the reasons why I chose this
first over the original traveler's company covers. But as a result, I've been
a little bit jealous of all the people on Instagram whose traveler's notebooks
have just worn down beautifully. Leather gets nicer and nicer the longer you use
it, and with something like a notebook that you're carrying around with
you on all of your travels, it's going to look like you've been through so many
things in a good way. I've only been using this cover for
about a year, but I have started to notice that it doesn't look quite as good as
when I first bought it and that's a little bit of a bummer for me. I assume
that that is just the nature of the faux leather material, but it is still holding
up, it's still durable, it's not falling apart in any way, it's hanging in there.
It just doesn't look quite so nice as all of the older travelers covers that
I've seen. I have to admit that when I first started researching traveler's
notebook covers, the leather ones didn't really seem as appealing to me as the
faux leather ones and I, over time I'm kind of starting to realize why people
like the leather. Obviously, that's a personal choice, there's nothing wrong
with the faux leather and honestly I prefer it to the suede which I'll get to
in a little bit. But for that reason, I've been kind of looking into other covers
and seeing what might suit me a little bit better. A while later, Webster's pages
released their pocket size line and that was very exciting to me. Their pocket
size fits the field notes inserts, which are very popular and really cute, but
they also have a little bit of extra width similar to their regular size
notebooks. That way you have space for a pen and lots of notebooks if you want
to try and cram them in there. They chose pocket size instead of passport size
which is what the original smaller traveler's notebook size is called. The
passport inserts do still fit in there, they're just quite a bit smaller than
the cover itself. Pocket size is just as wide but taller than the passport size. I
was really excited when they announced that they'd be coming out with these and
I bought the mustard suede pocket size pretty much right away when it became
available, but I have to say, after a while of using this, I have several
issues with it and I do not like it as much as I liked my regular size cover.
I picked the mustard suede color and I absolutely love this color, but what I
like even more than this color, is when you open it up, there is a pink floral
pattern on some of the pockets on the inside, which i think is absolutely
beautiful. I really like the way the yellow looks with the floral and it just
I - man. One of my favorite favorite things about Webster's pages is their patterns
and their colors that they choose. They are right in line with my style and I
always have a really hard time choosing which one to get, just because I
like so many of them. The layout of the pockets inside this cover are similar
but smaller. They have a couple that you can fit in here, there's a clear window
similar to the regular-sized one, but because this cover is a lot smaller,
obviously they couldn't fit as many pockets, so they don't have all those
little card sized pockets in the front half. There are also four elastics so you
can attach four plus notebooks in this, which is great. However, they added a
reinforced spine which the regular size does not have, and I have several issues
with this spine. The spine, I think, is what I have the biggest problem with
with this cover. So the main problem that I have with this reinforced spine is
that when you put four inserts, one on each of the four elastics that are in
here, There is a lot of extra space on that spine and so the note book feels
empty and also larger than it needs to be. And with a smaller size notebook like
this, I want to be able to take it places and put it in my purse and so if it's
bigger than it needs to be, it takes up a lot more space than necessary. One of the
things I like about the notebook that doesn't have the reinforced spine on it
is that if I only had maybe two notebooks inside here, I could flatten it
almost completely and it would be great. But if I wanted to have a ton of inserts
in here, I could actually widen it and it would still look good. I definitely don't
feel like I need to have more than four inserts on a little travel-size notebook
like this, and so it feels a little strange to me that the spine is so wide
compared to the width of those four notebooks. The other problem that I have
with the reinforced spine is that they didn't seal the edges of it, so at least
with the suede fabric, it's fraying all over the place and it's, I've trimmed off
some of the little threads and they keep showing up. I was tempted to try and seal
the edges myself, but then I thought if they didn't do it, there must be a reason
why not. I wondered if maybe their suede fabric was a little bit too sensitive to
any kind of fray check compound that they might put on there, but another
thing that I've noticed is that the suede tends to bubble up a little bit
and I don't know if that's just the nature of the fabric, it probably is, but
it doesn't really look super great and that bothers me as well a little bit. And
it's such a shame because this is such a beautiful notebook, it was absolutely
gorgeous when I first bought it, the inside looks amazing. But just, several
things about the outside are not really what I wanted and that's a little
bit unfortunate. However, they are always making new notebooks and releasing new
colors and fabrics and sizes all the time and so I think that they probably
will improve it in future generations and if they do, I'm probably gonna be
first in line to buy another one. Overall, the functionality of these
notebooks is my favorite thing about them. I love the pockets on the inside, I
love the pen loops, I love that you can close them up and you can carry a ton of
things inside of them when you're traveling, I love that they have four
elastics so I don't have to do anything tricky to get more things to fit in
there, the color choices for these are absolutely fantastic and it's the thing
that drew me to Webster's pages as a company in the first place. When I went
to Creativation a few years ago, I noticed the Webster's pages booth almost
right away and ran right over and I had never heard of them before, but they had
like this gorgeous floral wall on the back and so I've been a fan of them
since I first heard about them. In the video description below, I will link to
some places where you can find Webster's pages products in case you are
interested in buying them yourself. Anyway, I hope that this is helpful. If
you are into travelers notebooks too, what is your absolute favorite cover? I have a
whole bunch of videos about Traveler's Notebooks, so I will link to them up in
the cards above and in the video description below if you'd like to see
those. And if you're new here, make sure that you subscribe to my channel and
