First time ordering. I like the quality. Paper is nice and thick. A few pages had some wrinkles near the top, but nothing a bit is washi tape can't hide. 😊

A truly beautiful journal, it feels great in the hand, it's wonderful that it has a sturdy cover, beautifully finished lined paper, and it's especially handy that it comes with a bookmark.
The cover design is also lovely; I'm in love. I'll happily entrust all sorts of things to this journal.

It's fantastic, truly stunning. Very shiny in person and of good quality, the paper is thick and the journal is sturdy. I can't wait to fill it!

Beautiful journal, but I use daily and it is not holding up. It does not travel well in a bag or backpack. I've been using for about 3 months and already having binding issues and the front and back cover designs rub off extremely easily. Disappointed as I love the many designs this business offers.

Thanks so much for your review Hayley! As much as we love a good travelling notebook, I wouldn't recommend ours for travelling as the gold foiled material in its nature is quite sensitive. Our binding is sewn though, so that shouldn't be an issue! If you do think this is a quality issue and not a wear-and-tear kinda thing, please reach out to customer service :). We're always happy to help!

Kindest,
The Quirky Team

Love. Love. Love. Love. I got the gridded version and it is spaced perfectly. This is my second time getting a journal and they are always very high quality and shipping is very fast. Price is not expensive at all! I will be coming back again! Love all the mystical and magical designs!

It’s just beautiful. The black paper is thinner than their blank white paper journals, but it’s sturdy and smooth. I haven’t been able to draw in it yet, but I’m excited to start!

The journal is beautiful and high quality. I am not a journal person but I decided I wanted to try revisit some hard events to heal and figured a beautiful journal from a small business was the best way to do it. The design is just stunning and the gorgeous gold on the sides of the page just top it off. Thank you.

So. There's a story for this one. I originaly bought La lune, with black pages. I bought previously tarot cards from Marseille (gergeous oen) which didn't include the guidebook. So I decided to write it myself, with my twist and yours... I thought what about writing in white, gold and silver making it more mysterious ???? Thought I forgot to plan it correctly sooooo La lune became the draft and this one will be the result. I love them both ♡

The exterior is absolutely gorgeous, the notebook itself seems to be good quality, although, there were quite a lot of gold glitters on my hands, hopefully it's not from the pages or the cover. Would be such a shame if it won't last ):

Also, the dots on the pages aren't alined, it feels like each page has a different spacing on the paper, near the edges, which is upsetting, as I wanted to use it as a bullet journal.

Regardless, I love the cream/ivory paper colour, it feels smooth, but despite being "fountain pen friendly", if you use any nib over medium, you'll be meet with feathering.
