This is my Louis Vuitton Gustave MM Notebook in black Epi leather with silver embossing, given to me by a student group some years ago.
I could never figure out what to use it for, because I normally throw away my notebooks and journals when I have finished with them. This one seemed too special to use and then toss, so I waited to use it for something special.
I decided to use it as a travel journal. It holds packing lists, tickets, shopping lists, appointments and receipts/tickets/cards which I normally toss into a box somewhere and promptly forget their location.
What I liked was the durable leather (can really take a beating), soft cover (can bulge around contents) and the elastic closure (doesn’t get damaged in transit). I wish it had a pen loop though.
