Several months ago (I guess it was the end of 2024) I was carrying around two planners with me because I needed to reference both and I thought, “there has got to be a better way.” I started looking into refillable planner options and fell in love the idea of a handsome leather notebook. My first thought was, “ohhh….I would love an Hermes leather planner,” but then I learned the refills are not standard A5 pages and they’re hard to find. So that was out. Also? The price is high. I did a little research and discovered a fabulous Etsy shop that makes Hermes quality planners at a very reasonable price. They are GORGEOUS. The shop is in the Ukraine and it’s name is ChameleonUA. My exact leather binder is linked here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/871183342/leather-custom-notebook-a4-a5-a6?ls=r&ref=related-3&pro=1&sts=1&content_source=a7543cef5f848739303c2a3cfdc5fda1c9296de4%253A871183342&logging_key=a7543cef5f848739303c2a3cfdc5fda1c9296de4%3A871183342
Fantastic quality and attention to detail. Please note that shipping takes several weeks, so plan accordingly.
Leather Notebooks
I love that they look better as they get distressed. I lug mine around everywhere and I do not stress one bit about scratches. I chose the whiskey color, although the dark green was a close second. And of course I had my initials added because #ifitsnotmonogrammedisitevenyours?
Whiskey Planner
As you can see, it doesn’t take up too much room in my purse. I never leave home without it! Doesn’t she look good all scuffed up?
Amazon has lots of A5 options. I chose a weekly layout, plus lined paper (in fun colors, of course). I use my planner for keeping up with activities, but I especially love having a spot for lists, party planning, gifts, etc. I’ve currently got a running list of universities I want to visit with Emery in the back of my agenda. The pages I ordered are linked here: https://amzn.to/3ZrBWuy and here: https://amzn.to/3SNpwtc

I cannot tell you what game changer this system is! Imagine never having to buy a new planner…just order the refills as they become available!
