Arrived well packed. Love it to pieces. Beautiful embroidery and well padded. Love the back pocket. Looks great with the dangle.

Beautiful embroidery! This fits both the full reading journal and blank journal (also from the the serpents and swords collection). It's a tight fit, but you can zip it up.

The QC book sleeve looks so gorgeous up close! I'm a huge fan of the soft fabric of the inner pocket, and that the sleeves comes with an exterior zipped pocket for things like writing tools, bookmarks, etc.

The embroidered book sleeve is beautiful. Fits my iPad perfectly and love the pocket on the back. Love the accessories, nicely made. Do love my dangles. The dust plugs were for my iPad and phone. They do tend to fall out though. ❤️❤️

The book sleeve I received is absolutely beautiful. Not only is it lovely to look at, but the materials are clearly high quality, substantial without feeling stiff. The extra pocket is such a thoughtful addition and perfect for keeping pens close by. Mine currently holds an A5 journal and a hardcover TTRPG book with plenty of room to spare, plus pens and dice in the back pocket. The size is absolutely perfect.

While the embroidery and fabrics are pretty and well done, I was super disappointed to feel how padded this pouch was. It's very thick as a result and doesn't work at all for my intended purpose. If you are using it for a Kindle type product, it's probably good to have the padding, but in case anyone is reading this, please note that it has about an inch thick of very weird feeling foam inside.
