Traveler's Company Leather Notebook - Regular Size Starter Kit - Camel
One notebook. A lifetime of stories.
Made from a single piece of vegetable tanned leather, the Traveler's notebook is designed to travel through life with you. Every mark, scratch and crease becomes part of its story, and yours. Whether you're planning a trip, capturing ideas, keeping a journal or organising your everyday life, the TRAVELER'S notebook becomes more personal the longer you use it.
This is the Regular Size Starter Kit.
What sets it apart
- A notebook that evolves with you: The leather cover develops a rich patina over time.
- Infinitely customisable: The elastic band system lets you add, remove and rearrange refills in seconds. Lined paper for journaling, lightweight paper for sketching, planners, zipper cases etc.
- Fountain pen friendly paper: Many of the inserts use Midori MD paper, and the Lightweight insert is Tomoe River paper.
- Sized for everyday adventures: The Regular size is close to A5 height but slimmer in width, making it comfortable to write in while remaining easy to carry. Passport is like a passport!
- Built to last: The leather cover is designed to stay with you for years. Simply replace the paper refill when it's full.
Feel in the hand
Firm but flexible leather, with a natural texture that feels warm and authentic from the first day. As the leather softens with use, the notebook becomes even more comfortable to hold. The slim profile slips easily into a bag, while still providing plenty of writing space. It feels less like stationery and more like a travelling companion.
Who it's for
- Daily journaling
- Travel journals and trip planning

Not for

Practical tips

FAQs
Will the leather scratch easily?
Yes, and that's intentional. There may even be imperfections at the beginning.
Which size is the most popular?
Regular is the most popular as it's the closest to A5. Passport is similar to A6.
How many refills can I fit inside?
Most people use 2-4, often swapping them out for different trips or purposes. The starter kit can hold two inserts and then you need the joining elastics to add any further inserts.
Am I locked into the Travelers Company inserts?
No, many people use other inserts or create their own. The ability to customise the system is a big part of its appeal.
What colour should I get?
Camel is the most popular and the one that darkens over time showing your story. Brown is understated and professional, making it a safe choice. Black is minimalist, blue is personality (also more variation), and the new olive gives off hiking/outdoor vibes.
