Traveler's Notebooks Passport: Wallet Update

[@spellboundnotes]

The blue patina is gorgeous! 😍 My husband's has had the same leather wallet for over ten years, and I'm crazy jealous of how well it's aged.

[@InsideKimmysMind]

If only women's pockets were big enough to comfortably fit it. But I enjoy all of the different bags I use, so my wallet will just patina more slowly than my husband's. >.

[@gogobebe8460]

I just come back here sometimes because I like to relax by seeing beautiful patina on leather and they’re gorgeous

[@SunshineFL]

I just ordered this one from GALEN LEATHER to use as a wallet. Blue is my favorite color. I like this size as a wallet as I like to carry small and medium size purses.

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Yes, I love this size as a wallet. Plus, it fits a small notebook which I've been thinking of switching out to a calendar insert, but I like the idea of having paper to write lists/notes on.

[@nojuliette6870]

The camel’s color is absolutely stunning 🤩 I love how honey brown it got. Love it!

[@rudya.hernandez7238]

I want to keep it thin but will see if that changes over time.

[@metubemetube]

wow that glaze on blue passport is just amazing 😻🎀🧸

[@InsideKimmysMind]

I know, I envy the shine. >.

[@DizzySaxophone]

I appreciate you sharing your husband's. Been thinking of using a TN as a wallet, and as lovely as some of y'all ladies' TNs are, I know it isn't how I would use it, so it is hard to imagine. So this was super helpful, thanks!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

I'm glad it was helpful. I know some TNs carry more than might be necessary for some. But I think that is what is so great about this system. You can add in what inserts make sense for you. :) Has it been working out for you using it as a wallet?

[@DizzySaxophone]

@@InsideKimmysMind it's been working really well! I've just got 2 Notebooks and a wallet insert, so mine isn't very thick, but it's been great for my productivity!

[@lisahatch2649]

Love the patina

[@papelatbp]

They’re both gorgeous!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Thanks! I like seeing how they change. I went back and watched the unboxings and it was cool to see them brand new again.

[@caelointheclouds]

Absolutely Beautiful Passport Leathers you guys have!! I love the Patina !!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Thanks so much! I've enjoyed seeing them both change. That's my favorite part about owning a leather notebook. :)

[@raealdridge8200]

both wallets are beautiful! I wish I could use one cover long enough to see that kind of patina. Although, there is a noticeable difference between what my passport wallet looks like now compared to when I unpackaged it. When I do use my passport wallet, I use a CS Tea House Chamomile in the classic style. I try to keep it thin since I'm usually carrying it with a larger notebook of some kind.

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Chic Sparrow does have so many great colors. After buying my pocket, I already want more covers in different sizes so I can see how difficult it would be to remain in one cover after seeing all of their options. XD Especially since Chic Sparrow has pocket options.

[@forestofthings]

Mine has aged into green color and I love it! great video!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Green is such a wonderful color! :D

[@SociallyDistantnow]

I have never seen a brown travelers company notebook that looks like that... all of the brown ones I’ve seen look almost like suede. I’m obsessed, yours is gorgeous. 👀

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Oh, mine is in the camel color. It has darken over time and has this nice shine to it. :)

[@writingonsunshine2322]

The passport tns as a wallet is a great idea! They look great!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Thanks so much! :)

[@jenniferosea]

I love these! Is there a link to purchase the blue one? 😊

[@russ3llcc]

My blue standard sized TN has the same wrinkles too! Except mine extends towards most of the cover Idk why either:)

[@awefull-gold]

I also use the passport TN as a wallet! I'd like to keep it thin, but it keeps getting bulky lol

[@InsideKimmysMind]

It works so well as a wallet. I'm pretty happy with it. I know what you mean, sometimes it just gets bulky, but that is why I do not journal in it. XD

[@rpullen9028]

What color is your nice brown cover?

[@Pansorie]

Is it possible you can give a wallet update? Thank you so much!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Sure thing! :D

[@Roshanmotion]

Love the way your husband's wallet looks! I've been thinking about getting a setup like this, but I'm curious - do you know how many cards it could hold? It's the only thing I'm iffy on since I have like 8 cards in my wallet... but this looks so cool!

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm not sure how many cards it will hold. My husband had quite a bit of cards in the zipper pouch part of the wallet insert, but in the card slot, his held 2 in each horizontal pocket slot and then 2 in the vertical slot behind them. I think it just depends on the insert you find. Some might have more pockets to accommodate more cards. I hope that helps!

[@imaie3617]

I love this video and how your passport TNs aged. Are you still using them?

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Up until recently, we used them as our wallets. We just switched out to smaller wallets like last week. So they will be stored away for now.

[@BurningFairytales]

They’re both so gorgeous! I have to ask though - I’ve never seen one in a colour quite like yours. Was it brown and has lightened, or was it camel coloured? 😍

[@InsideKimmysMind]

It is the passport TN in camel. The color has darkened a bit over time, though. 🙂

[@mamm2429]

I love how the blue patina -ed. The wrinkles are caused by bending the specific area :)

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Oh, interesting. I wonder why my camel doesn't have the same wrinkles. Different leathers maybe?

[@emotionallychargedtowel]

@@InsideKimmysMind Could be a combination of leather type and how much you fill the notebook. I've the brown/camel/black (sold the blue not long after having it). The brown and black are smoother leather, but I tend to overstuff the brown whilst the black only has one or two refills. The spine on the black leather has also developed these creases (which doesn't bother me but I may consider applying some leather cream to it).

[@sweetpea22000]

I wonder if the wrinkles on the spine is from sitting on it in his pocket?

[@InsideKimmysMind]

He actually puts his wallet in his front pocket. Maybe having to pull it out of his pocket causes it? Not sure.

[@autumnall]

aged so beautifully! :O

[@InsideKimmysMind]

It's such a lovely sight to see. :)

[@karenromo8906]

Can you please share the link to the zip insert from AliExpress? I’ve been scrolling for 15 minutes and can’t find it! Lol Gorgeous patina on both! Well done! I’m a new subscriber.

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing to my channel. Here is the link for the zipper pouches. bit.ly/35E4llm

[@teemychow6483]

I think his has wrinkles on the spine because he sits on his wallet if it fits in his back pocket. :o

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Yeah, I'm not sure why. It could be the type of leather? He keeps his wallet in his front pocket because he hates sitting on it. XD
