I was lucky enough to be able to buy this beautiful Authentic Models leather travel journal from Nati who was selling hers. It was brand new.
Described as: Elegant yet eminently useable. Modeled after an early Victorian travel wallet, complete with journal, card slots, and compartments galore. For months of travel, sketching, notes, thoughts, collecting interesting ephemera. Its leather ribbon allows for easy expansion, and the whole might easily be mistaken for a haute couture handbag of top distinction. Inspect the detail of the stitching, the rich feel and smell of luxurious leather, red fabric lining, and details like the hand stitched button and red zipper pull. This is a shamelessly rich and luxurious wallet for serious travelers only.
and another review from Merlin’s Tower
They describe this as a “shamelessly rich and luxurious wallet complete with leather bound journal, credit card slots, and even room for a blackberry or iPod.“I have to agree with them – it is a really nice leather wallet. I love the rich feeling buttery soft leather they used. The black leather is accented with a beautiful red leather. It really gave it that luxurious look and feel. Inside there is room to store a nice size journal (a Leather bound one comes with it) and there are a few pockets. One of which you can use to store a few fountain pens or one with a couple of other writing instruments like a highlighter or pencil your choice. There is also a back pocket that allow you to store a few index card or notes that you have taken. and in front of that you have a place to store your ID and a few credit cards.
