When first receiving this journal I was afraid I had made a mistake by not going with olive or botany green. After almost a month of having it now, it finally feels like MY journal. I have a le trifold in cognac that I adore but it just isn’t worth lugging around sometime with a purse full for things for young kids. I was worried that fern green wasn’t timeless like cognac but this journal has been so fun and pushed me creatively. I love how utilitarian the portfolio is. My new purse journal, she comes everywhere with me while my le trifold always stays at home. 🌱🍃💚

my botany xl gv has the most beautiful striations im in love 😭

this is my grand voyager xl in botany green and i love her to pieces

I’m obsessed and can’t wait to fully break it in and start naturally collecting little things to keep inside! Also if you have any good gel pen recommendations lmk, I tried the zebra Sansa grand but it’s too skinny for my liking so now I’m on the hunt for a “cute” gel pen lol

i’m wondering if this is an unusual amount of space for the spine eyelets? and if so, how does that affect the journal long term?

I’ve been counting down the days until my grand voyager pocket was set to arrive, and I’m delighted to say that it’s finally here!! Been looking at this subreddit daily, getting more and more excited to finally post my own PR setup.

The heart charm on the front is from a necklace I inherited from my grandmother. All other accessories are from Amazon. I also swapped out the ribbon with a more neutral color from a kit I bought from PR.

I love her so much! 🫶 Constantly have to have it close to me at all times 🫠 and let’s don’t forget to mention how amazing PR journals smell ✨🫶

Obsessed with her!

after weeks of waiting i finally got my PR GV XL im so excited.

along side with my 2 weeks old chunky GV Pocket 🤩

GV XL for sketching practice and creative writing

GV pocket my EDC daily journal, common place, and mini junk journal/ photo album

I just got it! I'm from southeast asia and I'm so surprised they delivered it so fast. I ordered it on Thursday and I received it this Monday.

I'm chunking a lot of notebooks in hopes the leather would expand so I can fit more. Do you guys have any tips on how to avoid overhang?

Also, I wish i got the wild heather instead, but I'm still happy.

Edit: typo

Showing off the PR journals from different views!

Black journal GV XL - used for work
Petrol Blue GV XL - journaling & doodles
Venezia GV pocket - EDC

I added a new GV pocket from the Dúchas collection in fern green - 💚💚 I haven’t used it yet but plan to use for lesson plans for my BSL classes! 😁

A couple days ago I also bought myself an A5 Portfolio (Olive) and a XL Voyageur (Chestnut). Plus the Le Stylo.

I am not really one for diary writing or journaling, but I study languages a lot and having all my notebooks together will come in very handy I think. :)

I am super happy to have something from the country I live in (also, I feel very lucky to just be able to visit the shop whenever I want haha but maybe it is a bit tooo tempting) and the quality seems really good so far. Can't wait for it to patina! I might update in a year or so.

Btw, does anyone else have a line on the inside of their XL? (I think it's cool! I am curious how it will look in the future)

Saw these at a medieval market event and immediately thought how pretty and unique they would be for my olive pocket GV! Made by Birgitan paja in Finland. 😊

I finally got my first ever PR folio trifold in Venezia/Firenze which I truly love but I realized that it doesn't have the inner pocket for a pen, which I was a kind of a bit disappointed. Now I'm thinking of getting another one, a le folio bifold or a customized one since these have the pen slot. Does the inner pocket for a pen really make a difference? Or does it make the front cover bulge/uneven? Is it better to order a separate pen holder that I can clip on the side?

My journal hasn't came yet but thanks to redid, I have decided to purchase one and it's coming in 2 days!!!
AAAAHHH i'm so excited!!!😭✨ I've been waiting and wanting for so long, I can't believe i'll be having my own PR!!:D💕

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the Le Portfolio a6 to come back in stock?
