OLIVE EDITION TRAVELERS COMPANY DUPE?! + Updated Travelers Notebook Collection

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

Thank you. I just got the plum /,purple from that same store. Had 3 inserts, storage zipper insert, the airplane charm & mines git the tube instead if round metal. I lije the look. I get ur matchy reason 😁 i need this olive so bad 📗

[@FrenchyInFocus]

That olive dupe is such a cool find!! I totally get you with the collage differences 😂 It makes sense! Thank you for giving us a lovely tour of your precious tns😍

[@amandaleighplans]

RIGHT!!! I can’t stop raving about this olive! 🤣 it is so close to the original if not exact 😱 and omg bahaha I’m sooo glad you get me! I swear anytime I talk about my different inserts for different collage “styles” I’m like, there’s no way anyone else is gonna see the differences I see 🤣❤️

[@FrenchyInFocus]

@@amandaleighplans That olive one is so beautiful! I dreamed of owning one of the olive tns, but the mark up $$ I just can't justify. I rather get a truly yours or more regular tns. As for the collage, I wouldn't be able to explain it either, but they are completely different in my brain😂I'm so in love with those handmade paper inserts! I NEED ONE!

[@320Cobra]

Excellent video. Your thought stream is very enjoyable to listen to. I have 5 standards and one passport. The 2 camels seem to have smoothed out over time, use, and travel...about 6 years or so, not fuzzy anymore, but it's cool. It is interesting how journal mongers seem to think alike and dwell on seemingly the silliest things, but I guess that's what makes it fun. Thanks for the great video!

[@kimikobuford]

Amanda I’ve an abundant amount of your videos and some repeatedly that I found searching your name because I was not subscribed. I subbed now so I don’t have to search for you. I like your style 💞

[@amandaleighplans]

Oh my gosh made my day! Thank you soooo very much for subscribing! ❤️ I definitely have a very sporadic upload schedule LOL but I hope you enjoy! 🥰

[@dani2xll]

Your Olive looks beautiful. I do have the original Olive and it does not look like your dube. It’s a very stiff cover or should I say, it’s not fuzzy. It’s similar to your black passport. It’s very slick and shiny and I have a brown that is the same. But they do get all the scratches and look beautiful. Only my camels are fuzzily and they don’t seem to acquire scratches or scars, they just rub out. I love them all as they each have their own characteristics. I forgot to add to one of your other videos could you do a video on your handmade paper inserts and where your purchased them thank you. I am interested in both the standard size and the passport. Thank you for a lovely video.

[@amandaleighplans]

Oh wow, can’t believe your olive is like my black! 😱 it’s crazy how the leathers can differ. Camels are of course known to be fuzzy, yet my first ever camel was completely smooth and waxy like my black! Luckily every camel I’ve had since then has been fuzzy, as that’s my preferred texture 😂 but I’ve seen Olives that have identical leather to my dupe! And I actually have a story about where I buy my handmade paper inserts on my IG @ amandaleighplans - it’s in the Q&A highlight! I tagged all the shops in that story too. But I can def do a separate video maybe even just on IG actually showing my various inserts and mentioning shops! Atelier Nour is a good US shop since she actually has them readily available.. a lot of the ones I own are no longer sold or sold out since shops only make so many at once! But pretty happy paperie is another shop that usually always has them in her Etsy and she also includes one in every paper bundle so I have a lot from her lol! She’s in Indonesia

[@dbrickner5292]

you are not weird, you just have a style that suits you. i think it is all beautiful. it is an art. you do you, always.

[@jessplansandwrites]

I LOVED listening to all you had to say-honestly, I might just rewatch this video soon! Also LOVE your choice to use the album cover for albums and the cassette tape for individual songs! You make me want to start a music journal of my own.

[@amandaleighplans]

Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰 my music journal is totally my favorite journal right now! Since getting the Records collection I haven’t been able to put it down 😂 the stamps are too perfect!

[@theartesana]

I agree..I love the idea and will be putting it to use in a similar fashion! ❣️✨

[@CharlieeWriter]

wow I love your collection. Your desk is so aesthetic. I just recently got a new TN and I am soooo pleased with it.

[@icedteashirt]

they no longer offer the tube clasp--only the original circle clasp. i bet they got so many requests for the circle one so that buyers can match it to their regular tns!

[@Pinkpeonysss]

I had no idea how sought after this was until weeks ago. I have an olive and searched online to get a second because the color really is lovely. To my surprise it was hundreds of dollars to get one😅

[@staciabrown6383]

Always a pleasure to listen to your videos. 😀

[@amandaleighplans]

Thank you for being here!! 😍

[@JoJoTarz]

I don't know what it is that we TN lovers have in us to make us koo-koo for coconuts about them! I currently have 2 passports, and 3 standard size- add a Hobo weeks and a sojourner A6 and I'm getting close to your collection 😂 The way I see it, we are open and we try different set ups to figure out the most comfortable fit. I started in 2018 and am still excited about TN's. 😉 such a beautiful community of peeps. I used to post my spreads on Insta, but got lazy! rather be journaling than posting at this point, but maybe I will try posting again soon 🤗 love your vids!

[@MamaGraciePlans]

I just ordered this today. I’m so glad it’s comparable. I can’t wait to open mine. It’s going to be my journal. Like you I have the entire TC collection except the olive. They are pricing them on Etsy for $331. No thanks! I’d rather pay $30 and love it just the same and collage with vintage deco. The batch of mine will be a brownish olive too.

[@kathrynsargent5769]

Thanks for the link to the olive notebook. I have really regretted not buying one.

[@claudialuckhaus6486]

I love your collection of travelers notebooks. I'm not that far yet. At the moment I'm more busy cleaning out my apartment than with my hobby

[@amandaleighplans]

I totally went from 0-60 too fast! 😂🙈 I had only one cover and I was totally fine with that… and somehow it turned into this in a few months 😅 I fell down the travelers company rabbit hole! I hope you can get some hobby time soon!

[@claudialuckhaus6486]

@@amandaleighplans I hope that too. But actually our hobby is a break from everyday life. For which we should take time.

[@raer7907]

This has been in my Etsy cart for months when I saw the prices for the olive TRC on eBay!! Maybe I’ll just go ahead and get it! My coworker made me a custom TN with some Olive leather we found after hunting for weeks as even finding the leather is hard as it sales quick! Thank you for reviewing!!

[@amandaleighplans]

I am telling youuuu, nothing could make me buy an olive TRC at those prices! 🤣 it is just wayyy too much! And typically if I get a dupe of something I don’t really love it and eventually I buy the actual item. But with this, I am perfectly happy with this dupe. I would believe it was TRC, it feels and looks the exact same! I have no desire for a real olive, unless of course they released them again and I could get it for their standard pricing lol

[@marcsmellow]

I love all these explanations of all your covers and journals and what you use them for! It's definitely okay to have "too much inserts", i have 9 and thats my standard size alone HAHAHA not all gets used everytime but each one has purpose and i just use them interchangeably. i get what you mean about being sad when covers aren't being used though. this was such a fun watch, i love!!

[@forestofthings]

What a wonderful video, Amanda! Thank you! I have 6 TRC TN + 1 passport + 2 TN from Prima Marketing and I use them all :) One for art journaling, one for daily journaling... Why to limit ourselves? :) hahah Enjoy your beautiful olive, I love it!

[@tigerlily6512]

Amanda, you started my minimal planner addiction starting with pockets. Then I moved to A6. Now I want a traveler's too! Help! Anyways, where can I find the wallet insert? No regrets, Lily ps keep sharing please...

[@Amanda-hv2qp]

How do you keep them from getting scratched? They look so new.

[@amandaleighplans]

Such a funny question because I LOVE SCRATCHES. You will see me purposefully scratching them to get more scratches 😭 the first answer is that at the time this video was filmed, I was fairly new to travelers company as a brand. So all of my TN’s were more or less new. Now, a lot of those notebooks have collected tons of wear and scratches! But that said, I do think mine wear at a slower rate because I work from home and can’t afford to travel constantly… so, they aren’t out and about as often as other peoples may be!

[@withintheword]

You think you were blabbering but I thoroughly enjoyed all you had to say ! I love all the different journals you have and I’m beginning to see a shift in my planning style , wants , needs, and aesthetic which is very much what you have going on here. I’m quite in limbo, but who says a gal has to choose? Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@amandaleighplans]

LOL thank you sooo much for saying that! I’m so glad you enjoyed! And I absolutely get you - it’s funny how things change over time. I’m definitely doing and loving things now that I never thought I would! And yes, I most certainly have not chosen one aesthetic or one style! I love to do them all 😂

[@Martini-Girl]

Where did you get the clear plastic insert/folder in the olive TN from?

[@forestofthings]

I do a collage with the Kraft inserts (#14) and it is so beautiful! give it a try!

[@alexa-xy4ox]

Hi I love the handmade insert you have in you camel! Does the person who made it sell some because I would be very interested. I can’t understand the name in the video but that’s probably my bad because English is not my first language.

[@Chvylvr69]

Where is the brass tag on the olive tan from?

[@raer7907]

SN where did you get those cute drawers?

[@amandaleighplans]

The acrylic drawers are from Amazon! They’re linked in my amazon favorites - and half the price of the famous Muji ones! :)

[@theartesana]

Beautiful collection! ❣️✨

[@Danceswithfishes]

What is the leather quality like? My question is because I got a dark brown dupe TN (not from the same company as yours), and the leather scratches easily, but the scratches are like flesh colour, not even a lighter brown. Is that normal? Is your olive dupe that scratchable?

[@amandaleighplans]

So I’ll first mention that the listing says this is Crazy Horse (Pull Up) leather. I’m not exactly sure what TRC uses nor am I a leather expert so pls take what I say with a grain of salt lol! It’s just my novice opinion. To me, this leather feels the exact same as my TRC ones. It has that same semi-soft feel, and scratches up just the same. I wouldn’t say it’s SUPER scratchable because mine still doesn’t have that many on it (I wish it had more lol!) but it is, and the scratches are beautiful. To me it feels the same as TRC, if you told me this was on brand I would fully believe it. I absolutely love it and the quality, especially for $30!

[@GumbiiGrows]

i just got mine today, and i LOVE it... but i noticed that the bead they put on mine doesn't look like yours, or the ones in their pics... it's a shiny pewter... pretty ugly IMO... also the elastic band is way thinner than the regular TN elastic... don't want to buy a repair kit just to make it match... you got lucky that it looks like the normal TN one...

[@amandaleighplans]

You know I gotta say… when I bought mine, they sold out shortly after. Then maybe 3 months later they restocked. I bought a passport size one after the restock and I found it was nowhere near as nice as my original standard size one. The elastic was the same size so maybe that was a more recent change, BUT.. the shiny pewter yes, and I also noticed it wasn’t made *as well* and also the leather wasn’t as nice!! My standard one was so amazing which is why I went nuts sharing and now I feel like they’re being made differently 😭

[@amandaleighplans]

But - I am still glad you love it!!! Not bad by ANY means especially for that price point. I think it’s worth it for the price. But I definitely think they’re not as good now as my standard one for some weird reason

[@missmacintox]

What is the name of the woman that you follow on instagram? For your collage journal?

[@SonshineLady7]

Thank you for this video - just wrote the seller to double check the two items you mentioned then I plan to purchase one. I have on TN passport but would like to also try the standard size. Did you see the cute little mini- journals she sells??? Adorable. As far as having too many TN covers, have you seen any of the journal YTs by some users who I believe are Korean....like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXiXn4ClnLuCZ9E No idea how many inserts are in each one but she has quite a collection! It's also ASMR and I enjoy hearing the paper turn. Now just waiting to hear back from the Esty merchant!!!!

[@cb1242]

Beautiful collection!🌷
