When you open up the Midori Traveler's Notebook, two things are immediately apparent: that a great deal of care and attention has gone into making this product and, that you'll be keeping this notebook for a lifetime.
The Midori Traveler's Notebook features a very high quality leather cover, every one of which is handmade by local workers in Chiangmai, Thailand.
The leather itself is 2mm thick, vegetable-tanned and being genuine and unprocessed, it still has its original scratches and marks all of which contribute to its very 'raw' natural feel. The notebook very quickly acquires a well-travelled look and feel.
Users of the black leather Traveler's Notebook may even find a fine layer of white powder on the notebook when first used. This is natural fat from the unprocessed leather and is evidence of the Midori's raw natural state; it is easily removed with a quick wipe using a soft cloth.
As you use your Midori Traveler's Notebook, it takes on character; a map of your travels and a mark of its use. Over the years, your Traveler's Notebook will become your lifetime companion. Care for your Midori Traveler's Notebook by buffing and nurturing the leather and it will stay in optimum condition for many years to come.
The really special thing about the Midori Traveler's Notebook is the range of accessories and refills available. They add great functionality to what is already a beautiful notebook, turning into an indispensible travel companion. We stock the full range and will add new accessories and refills as they are created.

Customer Reviews
Review of Midori Traveler's Notebook If you want to buy a notebook brand new, but want it to look like you have owned it for years, this is the one. I use mine at work, to keep notes for jobs pending, work in progress, taking phone message etc. Just use one note book for each of the above, and a few post-it notes. Robert - Newry, Ireland
Perfect - LOVE this notebook! I don't think I've ever written as much as I have since I received my Midori Traveler's Notebook. Since then I've purchased refills for it and it's now an everyday companion, with notebooks for different purposes, card holders, a wallet and more. Love it so much I bought the passport version too! Gustav - London
Midori Traveler's Notebook A notebook epic enough to sidetrack a meeting with notoriously boring executives for 45 minutes while they oohed and aahed, caressed the cover, twanged the elastics and sampled the paper. Sure, a legal pad works. But why oh why would you go there when you could go Midori. Embrace the upgrade. SWZ - Philadelphia, Pa., USA
very good quality cosmin - romania
Artisan Quality, Simply Lovely To Use A real pleasure in every respect - an extremely simple design, using high quality materials, this is a great example of a product that just works, yet which gets better and better each time you use it. Beautifully presented, versatile, and elegant in its simplicity. Pen Geek - Derby
Fantastic product, love it! I have been using Moleskine for over 9 years, but this one definitely has a touch. Flexible system, wonderful paper, very neat size to fit anywhere. Highly recommend. Salavat - Moscow
Beautiful! This notebook is very simple but amazingly beautiful. I love how the cover becomes all scratchy with use, has an old world explorer feel to it. I use it as a 'road journal' together with a monthly diary, so I always carry it with me to write my thoughts on the move as well as check my schedule. juno - UK
Brilliant, flexible travel journal I have used a Midori journal for several years, while living overseas, and found them to be excellent. They are extremely flexible, due to the removable inner pages which can be stored in the filing system. The cover is very hard-wearing and improves when aged.I am very pleased to find a UK stockist P Walker - Cumbria
High Quality Traveler's Notebook I am loving the nice simple leather cover and the high quality paper! It is a completely different class on its own. Calvin - Edinburgh,UK
Beautiful and practical Apart from being a beautiful item to own, it is so practical. The notebook inserts (which are also lovely in themselves) are just the right size, perfect in fact. I have just had a weeks holiday in Italy and completed one notebook. I also purchased the free diary (monthly) which is very useful. June - UK
Very good notebook. Just received my new Midori. Looks great and really looking forward to using it. The Journal Shop were very helpful in getting this to me in time for a trip abroad. Many thanks. -
Made a great gift! Bought this notebook for my brother for Christmas. He loved it, I know it will last him a long time. Very durable, great quality! Attractive, too. Jessie - NYC
Midori Heaven I was scepitical about all the positive reviews and feared being disappointed, but I love it. Everything from the smell, the look, the feel, the adaptability of it and the packaging. I can't wait so personalise it and see it worn to add even more character to the leather. Very, very excited. Jhoanna - London
Marvelous notebook! What I like more after its cover is its simply-to-use flexible system. You can choose your own planning system and amend it according to your needs. Zipper pocket and credit card holder are very useful. Now I'm thinking about passport size but I’m not sure because of a small size. Inna - Togliatti, Russia

Gorgeous Journal! Having read about this journal on a few sites, I'd decided it would be great for reflective practice. Having some funding to spend at work, my boss agreed, and now I own this gorgeous journal! Ideal for at work and at home, it's warm leather and mass of refills give infinite possibilities! Awesome! Simon Parsons - Yorks, UK
Quality travel notebook - excellent. I bought this, with inserts, as a wedding gift for friends who like beautiful things and are meticulous journal keepers. We were all delighted with the quality, attention to detail and the practicality of the notebook; more usable for travel than a typical bound journal. I wish I had one myself! Garden Girl - UK
A beautifully packaged, luxury notebook. Something about it says, built for a gentlemen, or suave, sophisticated worldly travelers. The inserts are a must, to try it's customization possibilities. There are less expensive and possibly far more practical notebook solutions. But to spoil yourself or a friend. You can't go wrong. Phileas Fogg - London
Quality notebook with huge character You very quickly get attached to this journal - just holding and using it is such a personal experience. Cover is tough and the refill system, while simple, gives huge flexibility. Problems though: rear knot and top fastener annoying when near the back or on a table, and it just won't lie flat.
