I was beyond excited to get this gorgeous cover in my hands - and now after using it for the entire year of 2024, I can safely say that this is my absolute favorite cover.
I got the A5 size for my Hobonichi cousin, and it's a perfect fit with room for growth (we love a chonky journal). The part that intrigued me the most about this cover and kept Elysian on my radar was the clear insert pocket as the front cover. What a great opportunity to personalize whenever I want! After making a template out of thicker paper, I can make and switch out inserts as I please, from seasonal pieces to current favorites and more. I love the versatility and extra creative outlet opportunity.
The craftsmanship is absolutely beautiful, and I am beyond pleased with this investment of a journal cover. I originally ordered an undyed cover, but then I saw a story on Elysian's IG account showcasing a gorgeous cognac and I quickly realized that it was the true color I wanted. Thankfully, they were very accommodating to my request to change leather and I'm so happy I asked! The cognac is stunning in person and I am so happy with it.
I am so very happy with this cover after a year of daily use. I cannot recommend Elysian Paper enough! Thank you for such a beautiful piece that brings me such joy every time I look at it. :)
