Product Description
Handcrafted in Italy by the artisan leatherworkers at Luca Natalizia Legatoria, each Manufactus "No Bag" Leather Journal is cut from full-grain, vegetable-tanned calf leather, selected from one of six tanneries outside Rome that have been supplying the company since just after its founding in 1910. The included A5-size notebook holds 128 pages of cream-colored lined or unlined 90 gsm pages and fits snugly inside the supple cover, which can accommodate refills of different thicknesses Read More

Worth noting when it comes to notebooks:
"A rare Leonardo da Vinci notebook containing more than 300 illustrations and scientific writings by the artist was sold for $30.8 million at Christie's yesterday. The price set a record for a manuscript sold at auction" *
Not saying YOU aren't just as important, but I'm willing to bet Leo never spent sixty-bucks on a notebook. Which is to say, it's not how much you pay for them them that counts, it's how much you put into them ;- )
I have a Manufactus leather journal that I'm very fond of... and I'm out of refills. I want to order the refills, without ordering another leather journal. Is there a way to do that? I tried through the drop, but I'm not paying $84 for journal refills, as nice as they are...
I ordered this journal. I LOVE IT. You absolutely need to bring it back, Massdrop, because their website is impossible to order off of and you are my only hope of acquiring more. This is BABY soft. I ditched the journal inside. But it fits A5 journals of all kinds especially my Leuchtturm 1917s. Please bring it back. I'm absolutely IN LOVE... and need more of these.
Is this notebook refill a proprietary brand? Or is it something I can pick up elsewhere later on when I finish the one that is provided if I like it well enough. Paper is such a subjective and finicky thing that I am hesitant to buy a bunch of notebooks sight unseen only to have them sit unused when they don't perform well. I'd like to do a little research on reviews etc of the notebooks, but the Massdrop is pretty cryptic about them.
AdagnaI got mine in the mail. It does appear that the notebooks are proprietary. The have the Manufactus branding and say made in Italy. And there is a fair amount of ghosting with a semi-wet fountain pen.
AdagnaIt fits basically any A5. I've used it with Seven Seas, Clairefontaine, Northbooks, Apica -- you name it.
With that said though : thicker journals work better. The 80-90 sheet ones feel a bit 'lost' inside all that leather wrapping.
If I had to pick just one : the Seven Seas A5 is probably the best fit that I ever had in this cover.
Dear Massdrop,
I can never purchase notebooks and journals via Massdrop without first understanding what sort of feathering, ghosting, and bleed-thru I can expect when using fountain pens. I'm sure others would like to know how well their markers will stand up as well. Of course pens, nibs, and inks all play a role, but without showing the other side of the writing 'sample' (see image #5), ghosting and bleed-thru characteristics aren't available - in which case my money stays in my wallet.
