Unbox No.8 Patina Chic Sparrow & Moleskine Expanded; Compare to Wide & A5 Traveler’s Notebooks.

I really like that # 8 cover. I like that it fits the expanded.. That is the natural leather that will patina with time. But most important is that this gorgeous leather cover SNAPS. I ❤this. You might have convinced me to get this cover. Me

I believe they stopped carrying the No.8 about a couple weeks after this VID posted. It has been available for 2 yrs. I was kinda sad b'coz I also wanted it in the 'Dashwood' leather which was a pretty dark pale teal. Maybe someone will have it second hand. CS still has the Wide, which can fit Moleskine Cahier, never tried my Moleskine Expanded in it. Hmmm, I'll have to check that out. TFW. 🥰

Thank you for sharing!!! I’m currently eyeing this one- curious how you like it now that you’ve had it for a few months now! Is it similar to the Austen leathers? Oops just heard that you said it is similar to the Austen! Hopefully it’ll soften up over time

I am in the middle of putting my 'Set-Up' & update VID for this so be on the lookout for that soon. I have to say that I enjoy it but given the plans that I had for it, I am still "iffy". I've been baby-ing It so the patina isn't as prominent as I thought. It is similar to the Austen Leather as far as feel(structure) & not too floppy but I noticed it doesn't scratch as bad. I wonder if it has something to do with it being 'natural' w/no dye; the scratches aren't as noticeable? Anyway, you'll understand better when I show it in my VID. 😆 Words escape me. TFW.🥰

Lovely set up. I don’t think I’m ready to buy a nude leather. I think it would patina way too quickly, and I wouldn’t know how to handle it. lol.

IKR? Hahaha. I carry mine with its dust bag!!!! I’m still trying to get the Set-Up VID ready for upload so you can see the Patina so far. But I love it so much; it’s beautiful!!! TFW. 😍
