RICCO BELLO Lined Journal Notebook with Pen Holder, Faux Leather Hardcover, College Ruled, for Work, Notes | 96 Sheets /192 Lined Pages, 5.7 x 8.4-Inches (Art Tree)

I found Ricco Bello journals when I started journaling regularly in 2020. I use them as alternatives to lined Moleskines, which were my previous preference. They are similarly sized and constructed. I like that Ricco Bello comes in a variety of colors (some the same and some different from Moleskine) and is cheaper than Moleskine. I've found I routinely get 190-some pages with my Ricco Bello journals compared to 238-246 pages with Moleskines. There is minor ghosting, but it is definitely still legible (and comparable to ghosting in the Moleskines I've purchased in the same time frame.) Both have a pocket in the back. Ricco Bello journals do NOT have a "In case of loss" inscription in the front cover, but I wouldn't call that a deficit. I just write my own message in the front notating that it's my journal. Fantastic customer service when I've contacted them directly. I go back and forth between Ricco Bello and Moleskine journals now, but Ricco Bello is my 1st choice preference when they have the same color as Moleskine. Highly recommended!

I use this for my bullet journal and write almost daily with fountain pens. I have experienced no ghosting or feathering and it shows sheen nicely. (I do write almost exclusively with extra fine or fine nibs, though.) The notebook looks nice and the binding is solid, even with frequent daily use.

I love the color of this notebook so much and the butterfly on it is so cute and well made. I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t like the material the notebook was made of because I have a problem with velvet and suede fabrics, but is a smooth leather like material, the paper was very soft and looked high quality. I also love the pen holder on the side and the strap on the front is very nice too. I am very exited to use it.

Absolutely love this journal. I bought it for everyday journaling since my daughter was born, and I wanted to remember the everyday things that happened.Cons: The only thing is some of the pages started to tear out, which may have been from my hand as I was writing, I'm not sure. They we're ripping out right at the spine. I put tape on the specific pages since I had already written on them and they have been fine. This only happened on one of the groups of pages so no big deal.Pros: great journal, just get it. I here ordering a second since I've already filled up my first.

Love the colors, the elastic closure and how it lays flat so its easy to use

Love it! Add a thin pen and it's good to go. Got a new management job and needed something small and easy to reach/grab and write in and this fits the bill! I've even bought 2 of them in orange, which will make it hard to steal. I'm still using it and adding additional information! Again, love it!

It was a gift for my son so he can practice writing. He loved it

This journal is my favorite!
