The stack of notebooks you see above are all standard-sized. Some sellers, like Imperfectly Perfekt, name their creations to set them apart from other "fauxdori's" in the marketplace, so hers, for example, are called "keelindori's." They're often called "fauxdoris," to pay homage to the original. ![]() Since Traveler's Company came out with their simple, single-strand traveler's notebooks, the classic "Midori" traveler's notebook, there have many businesses creating their own version of these types of notebooks. But it's easy to imagine other uses for these notebooks! The elastic system makes it easy to swap notebooks in or out, if you've filled one up, or your needs have changed. They're perfect for writers on the go, memory keeping, and trip planning. Traveler's notebooks originated as, well, a way for people on the go to jot their thoughts down and keep them safe.

This particular traveler's notebook is the Narita Airport edition from Traveler's Company, and I truly loved owning this piece of craftsmanship. They range anywhere from $35 to upwards of $70USD, depending on the color and edition of the notebook. These standard "Midori" notebooks measure 8.7x4.9 inches. Another elastic closes the leather, with the notebook inside, and protects its contents. ![]() Simply put, a traveler's notebook, as demonstrated above, is a piece of leather cut to size, with an elastic strung through the middle, allowing you to slip a notebook inbetween. These leather notebooks originated the term "traveler's notebook," and are well-loved for their simplicity and durable leather. Pictured above, you see a Traveler's Company notebook.
