My thoughts on Van Der Spek and Gillio leathers

[@MaineMamaPlans]

Beautiful planners!! ❤ thank you for sharing! It’s really helpful to hear your candid thoughts! 😊

[@luley8254]

I just love your videos! Thanks for being so candid about the smell! It is a LOT of money to spend on something that you cant stand the smell of! ❤️

I fully appreciate the honesty with Gillio reviews

[@cheekyauschick]

Brilliant video thank you

[@magic.nostalgic]

Really informative video, I appreciate not only your honesty, but that you speak of “actual real-use” durability and not “oh, it must be durable because it was expensive”, if that even makes sense, lol. I find that sometimes in the planning community some terms and descriptors get a bit thrown about, overused and even misused at times. Thanks for taking the time and sharing this video! I’m wondering if you’ve done a video on how you condition/ “take care” of the notebooks in your permanent collection? I’d be really interested in seeing the process, or perhaps just some ‘do’s & dont’s’, frequency, product recommendations, etc. Thanks again!

Kristi Lynn Good idea! I will put that on my list once I am settled and unpacked as currently my products are all packed. Thanks for watching!

[@pinkskiestoday]

Your planners are so beautiful! Thanks for mentioning the odour. I have a really sensitive sense of smell and I'm sure this will bother me.

That pink is gorgeous- what colour leather is it? The first pink VDS

[@tdslovey]

I know this is an old video but I found it informative. I recently bought an A5 Gillio Appunto Rosewood. I wanted an Aubergine until I saw the Rosewood. I love the brownish pink. It smells like leather too. However, I hate that I have to hold my pens by the pen clip. Most of my fountain pens do not have clips. Plus getting them in and out of the pen loop is such a pain. I'm surprised you didn't mention the pen loop at all..

[@plannermumsy]

I don’t use the pen loops as a general rule so I don’t think of it often🙈

[@sunnyh7175]

Thanks for sharing!

[@laurie2553]

Hope you come back soon!!

[@smplans]

Great informative video!!

[@ellytellynelly6746]

Love your video! Super helpful information that other videos don't address. Can you provide the name/link for the B6 Hobonichi Weeks style journal that you show at around 20:00? Thanks in advance!

[@plannermumsy]

ellytelly nelly yes ma’am it is a muji planner I forgot to put that into the video when I edited it sorry. I purchased direct from Muji U.S.A. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@ThePlannerProject]

I think that the colour difference under the strap is a natural effect of the leather in that area being covered and not getting use and oils from your hands, so it doesn't patina as fast simply because it's covered. There was no colour transfer there :) This burnt pink is just to die for by the way ❤️

[@plannermumsy]

The Planner Project It’s darker not lighter, if it was less patina it would be lighter same with the sun, if it was tanned everywhere else the untanned spot is always lighter, this spot is darker so the only reasonable explanation is slight color transfer.

[@ThePlannerProject]

@@plannermumsy Huh, how funny, it certainly looks cleaner and a lighter colour on my screen! :)

[@mspinkie57]

Where can I find the video showing what you put on the Croco to make it shine

[@susanbeckett9347]

I love that weeks like planner, but didn’t see the name or link. What is it? (Great video)

[@plannermumsy]

Susan Beckett The Weeks like planner is a Muji. I got it direct from Muji USA. Sorry I forgot to edit the name in.

[@T2MARA]

Really appreciate the in depth review. Can I ask if a B6 stalogy will fit in the 25mm without cutting the book down as long as you don’t add the 2nd pen loop? I’m in the process of ordering one with your specifications.

[@plannermumsy]

T2MARA I think it may still be too tight of a fit tbh. Another thing to look at is the B6 codex design they have. It is supposed to have been modeled for the Stalogy. I know someone else that did the 25mm design and they said it was quite tight with their Stalogy. Hope that helps.

[@rosemorelock]

Muji planner

[@SNicolesPlace]

Is that the muji planner?

[@plannermumsy]

S Nicole gaaaah THATS IT! Goodness my brain is shot, lol. I will put it in the description. Thanks for reminding me😊 And thanks for watching!

[@deskofbexxi9245]

What kind of leather is the VDS Codex for the weeks? Touch me?

[@plannermumsy]

deskofbexxi92 this is buffalo leather, the color is Hortensia😊

[@JuLa-222]

The Aubergine really is a stinker. I got the Bubblegum Croco: no stench at all, and now after a few weeks of use, only delicious leather smell. I’m so curious what exactly they put on the Aubergine Croco....?

[@JuLa-222]

I must add: the most recent batch of Aubergine was a lot better than the May batch!

[@plannermumsy]

Ju La no idea but I am hearing the new pastels stink like crazy too. I sure hope the epoca pastels don’t stink🤦🏻‍♀️Cuz I want one of those.

[@camilla9953]

Did you find out where your B6 "weeks lookalike" if I can call it that🙈🤪was from?

[@plannermumsy]

Camilla yes ma’am I posted it in the description. Its a Muji planner.

[@camilla9953]

Planner Mumsy thank you!

[@abigailhortencia5901]

[@plannermumsy]

Abigail Hortencia they may have a passport size in the Giramondo line but other than the pocket rings I think thats it. Check out their website at Gillio.be
