Cute, little journal in my favorite color, purple. Handy to use so I keep it in my purse when inspiration strikes.
I bought these for gifts and hope they were well received. I think mine is SO cute! Love it! :)
My oops was funny - a misspelled word that no one even notices!
Gorgeous little charm for my passport-sized journal. It is exactly what I was looking for!
Everything that I’ve ordered has been well made and packaged beautifully. I love the journal and the wax seals are so stunning! Thanks again !
Wonderful journal. Great leather, love the packaging. It feels like they packaged it specifically for me.
The inks were alright, but with as little experience I had with glass pens, it was an awesome tool to use! Additionally, I am quite amazed to see it come in one piece, all of the parts worked as I thought they would. I would honestly buy from here again!
I live all my Soothi journals. They are treasured keepsakes!
The Future Belongs Eleanor Roosevelt Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 Size
Its my favorite journal company. This is my fourth journal I have brought in the last 4 years. I have given them out as gifts and my friends love them. The book has a vintage look and the paper is of high quality. I am impressed with the work. Thank you.. I love the charms rings of affirmation. Best of it all, Soothi donate trees to different countries and you get to pick.
I love the lighter color of this journal. As always the materials are super high quality, the paper is amazing and I love the tie string. This journal is made to last!
The words aren't very dark on the quote so I was a little bummed about that. You can't really read it super well. But other than that it's a great journal.
Oops journals are some of my favorite! I love coming up with creative ways to cover the little "oopsies" It's a lot of fun. There a great price and amazing quality! Get one and let your creativity flow ☺️
This is probably my favorite journal I've bought from Soothi. I love the fun quote on the front, and I'm a huge fan of the lined paper. I wish more of the journals had the options for lines! Overall beautiful journal.
This journal is so beautiful! I love the details on the back. The rubber band is nice, I'm glad that option is now available.
Such a beautiful journal, hand made leather. Can’t wait to make more family memories to write in my clean canvas journal. You also get sent a card to plant your very own tree with every journal! How amazing is that! ❤️🌳❤️🌳
Thank you the opportunity to put my thoughts into words and on paper ❤️
The Soothi "If A Story" Handmade Leather Journal is a beautiful, well-crafted notebook ideal for writers, travelers, or anyone who appreciates quality stationery. Wrapped in a gorgeous, rustic leather cover that softens with age, it features a motivational quote by William Faulkner for a touch of inspiration. With 100 blank pages for writing, sketching, or brainstorming, the unlined format offers complete creative freedom. The handy 7" x 5" size makes it portable and perfect for taking anywhere. But it's not just functional – the rich leather is a pleasure to hold and adds a touch of elegance to any desk. It's as beautiful to look at as it is to write in.
Beautiful leather Journal well built and a true pleasure to own.
I ordered an "oops" item and received that perfect little journal. I love it and am very happy with it. I have bought several things from Soothi over the years and I have been super stoked about everything I have received. Great craftsmanship, it's practically an art. I highly recommend this shop when you're shopping for self-care/love or a gift for someone special.
Love the quality of the leather. Feels weathered and wears well. Surprisingly light journal considering the amount of pages and leather binding. Nice pen compartment, though I only use it if I'm traveling. To note: If you do watercolor, the pages are heavy but slightly yellowed.
Thoughtfully wrapped, and the perfect size
We All Become Stories Margaret Atwood Quote Leather Journal - 7x5
I like this journal so much that I bought 3 of them....1 for me and 2 for my weird and wonderful friends. It doesn't just say Weird and Wonderful, however. The complete quote on the journal is "all things Weird and Wonderful". It's a great soft leather journal with awesome lined pages and a string tie.
The journals are beautiful! Gave one to my daughter & one to my niece.
Beautifully made journal with just the theme of my life RIGHT NOW … so apt 🙌🏾
"Earth Element Refillable Stone Leather Journal" has a very beautiful cover. BUT the binding of the papers inside is different from other non-refillable journals. Not easy to use. So I returned it. Please take a careful look at the picture of the papers inside the journal, especially the binding area.
I was skeptical since I've never bought from this site, but......... Bought this journal for my Father-In-Law for Christmas this year (Christmas 2023 photos) who's been writing in journals all of his life, he said this is one of the best he's ever had. The leather smell hit him when he first opened the box, it hit us all! He loved it! The book, the smell, the inscription! He said he couldn't wait to start writing in it at the beginning of the 2024 year, which just happens to be TODAY! Thanks for helping me with this great gift!
These journals are perfect for every written word or number. I did my small business taxes by long hand in this journal and loved every minute of it.
I wasn’t too worried about the printing on the front so I opted for a mistake book. It’s absolutely gorgeous:)
Always love the Oops journals! Great quality no matter which ones I get :)
Not the same color leather stain as in the promotional photo. Was drawn to it for the look, but didn’t come like that at all. Same stain as everything else. I like soothi journals so I’ll use it, but it’ll probably be a bit before I buy anymore due to mistaken advertising - I wanna buy what I know I’m gonna get.
I thought I was getting an oops item like a journal, but it’s literally what one sees in the photo - some oops 10 pk of blank cards - which I had no idea what it was until it showed up and I realized I just bought the most expensive blank note cards I’ve ever purchased in my life. Not worth it. Envelopes flimsy and I don’t know what I’d ever use these for. But because it’s an oops item there are no returns.
Some blotchy leather stain on the back and some inadequate stain on the front lettering, but it’s a beautiful journal otherwise. Just has QC overlooked cosmetic character. I typically like the soothi journals though.
Some of ooops journals are absolutely 💯 usable but some are the paper to write on is rough but I love the surprise of ooops Thanks for personal little note on the tabs holders I use as a book mark. As a journal blogger thank you for the smaller hand held versions need more with a pen holder Love it thank you
Well made book, heavy duty materials. Paper is a mixed media standard with good qualities.
Super cute! No idea where I'll put them all but I love them!
Larger than I expected...may actually have to reinforce the handle at attachment point cuz I keep loading it up with so much stuff ;) Sheds a little but I expect that will lessen over time. A real attention getter cuz of the fun quote!

Beautiful but less..."handmade" looking than I expected. It is very nice tho and will make a good gift.
It’s like this was made for me. I came with three journals of different styles. One for my short stories, where I can take out the inserts, one for doing planning of a novel, and one for me to start writing about my writing journal to pass on to my children. The cards are beautiful. The bag accessories are well-made, and I absolutely love the pencil leather pencil case. Of course now that I have a little leather passport cover, I need to actually get off my butt and get a passport to put inside. Definitely overjoyed with the product, and I really love surprise boxes, because you never know what you’re going to get.

Love my new travel journey. The leather cover, meaningful quote, and slim size means I’ll be taking it everywhere. It’s both useful and aesthetically pleasing - the best of both worlds!

The Future Belongs - Eleanor Roosevelt Quote Traveler’s Notebook
This journal truly feels magical. Highly recommended.
Pleasantly surprised. There is a part of me that wishes the leather was a little more supple; but I love how it lies flat - and the stiffer leather makes it easier to write in. Love the feel of the parchment.
Shakespeare Nothing Good Or Bad Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 LINED Paper
This is by FAR my best and most favorite journal I have ever had! The feel is sturdy, soft and smooth just as the paper is thick and perfect for most any inks/markers/ whatever you'd like to use for Journaling! The quotes on the front are all amazing this just was one of many of my favorites and the back is beautiful as well with pictures of the constellations! This would make an amazing gift for your favorite artist/journalists/or writers/novelists. I highly highly recommend these journals!
I live this journal. The paper is so smooth to write on and I feel so inspired to write every time I see it on my night table. ☺️
Not Another Flower Erin Van Vuren Quote Leather Journal - 7x5
It’s a very beautiful journal just like the last five or six that I bought but I have noticed that the last two the cardboard covered by the leather is noticeably thinner, and the journals bend much easier and the corners dog year, much easier as opposed to the thickness of the Arthur Conan Doyle, journal that I have also 8 x 6 the cardboard under the leather on that one is very heavy, and really makes The whole experience, much better but overall your product is excellent which is obvious because they continue to order.
This is my second journal from Soothi. I love the quality and durability of the pages. I love the whimsy fun of this Renoir journal - bright and colorful. Some of the colors seemed to appear a bit muddy on fabric, but I love the uniqueness of the design, perfect for unique season of life that will be written in it.
Fits well in my hands. Smooth yet thick leather. The paper has a smooth yet old time feel. It feels exactly as you think it would as a classic leather journal
I gave this Journal to my friend! She loved it. I have also bought other journals for her here. I had one custom made here. Soothi has great customer service!
Love the quote on my journal as well as the blank pages that allow for drawings as well as the words. This is well made and a great size for easy use. It fits in my purse nicely.
This is for me. Can’t wait!
Gave it to my friend, a cancer survivor. She cried.
Love it . And the feel and texture of it really adds to the want to fill it with all kinds of stories and adventures.
This is the first journal I've gotten from Soothi that is a bit larger- I absolutely love it. I'll be getting more in this size one day.
Shakespeare Nothing Good Or Bad Quote Leather Journal - 8x6 LINED Paper
Another amazing journal! I would have liked it a bit better if it had a tie closure instead of an elastic one, but it's still a great piece and the quality is fantastic as usual!
I haven’t used a journal since I was a child, I purchased this to write the way I feel daily, if possible, on my feelings of the sudden death of my son to cardiomyopathy……it is lovely, but very tightly bound, I’m afraid to spread the pages to wide, I don’t want it to come loose….I also have terribly hand writing, not that it matters….embrace your loved ones, life is short and unpredictable, blessings, Joyce
