Unboxing video: new pen + bespoke leather cover for Hobonichi A6 Avec - yay!

First unboxing video!
New Pen Day - Estie Winter White Needlepoint nib
New Journal Cover Day ;) I’m so happy with this leather cover! I was pretty nervous about it and worried I’d hate it or find fault in it somehow - I’m picky, but I love it!
Hope this is a fun video for you to watch. I loooove unboxing and haul videos myself so would love to make some more if you found this one alright!
Any questions drop me a comment and I’ll get back to you!
Thank you for being here 🫰

I love the colors you chose! The rich vibrant Amber is such a nice contrast to the calming Craie inside. Also so happy to see Libertaz being more recognized and loved by the planner community since I first talked about them in summer last year 😭. The craftsmanship is immaculate and Li, the owner, always provides such exceptional customer service 🙌 I hope to see you show it off more in the future! 🫶✨

Ah thank you! I was sent your instagram account link a couple days ago and you are the Libertaz OG!! I think I must have come across your account when I was researching! I love all your covers and for sure need to get another one myself...

[@ngocngocnotes]

@@thejournalingpotato Your bi-color cover definitely has me cooking up some ideas now, hehe! 🫶

OMG the Esterbrook Winter White, it's INCREDIBLE! Enjoy it!! AHH!!

[@thejournalingpotato]

It is very pretty! I feel I didn't give it enough love because my excitement for the cover overshadowed it... I've yet to ink it... I don't know what colour to go for.

Thank you sharing! “Banana journal” is such an interesting name😄 Please don’t worry too much about the pen loop. It won’t break easily.

[@thejournalingpotato]

Hi Li! Thanks for making a fabulous cover - I love it.

[@autisticbucky]

wow! such a nice leather cover, its so cute that you call it your banana cover! 🥹 and the estie is a beauty as well!

[@thejournalingpotato]

Thank you so much, hehe :)

[@conor_olo]

ooh i really like the Tachikawa holder! It bothers me a little that the regular holder is so long, might be one to check out soon.. the cover you went for is so pretty!! amazing choice PJ - I hope it all works out for you!

[@thejournalingpotato]

Thank you Conor - I'm very relieved and already thinking of another one, I've got no self-control... haha.

[@thejournalingpotato]

Ah thank you so much! And thanks for taking the time to write a comment!

Really grateful for the info on the handle dupe before you posted the video. Do you find that brass and steel nibs scratchy? I’m not sure if I need to use it more or if it’s always that way

[@thejournalingpotato]

You're very welcome! Ah, I think the brass nib has "softened" and feels less scratchy than the steel nib. Which I put down to the different hardnesses of both metals. I don't mind a scratchy nib but must admit I prefer using my brass kakimori more than the steel one, hehe. Hope you have fun with yours!
