One cover, pages that refill, and the pieces you add to make it yours. Everything in the haul is on the site.
Most first journals get grabbed off a store shelf in a hurry, and they feel like an assignment from day one. Opening a box with your cover, your pen and a charm you picked yourself is different. You want to sit down with it.
The Momento's inserts are undated. Start on a Thursday in October. Skip a week. Nothing on the page says you're behind, so you just pick up where you left off.
Inserts slide in and out of the cover, up to three at once. Fill one, slide it out, keep it, and put in the next. You never start over in a new notebook.
It comes with one lined and one blank insert. If you like structure, the Monthly Planner, Weekly Planner and Grid inserts are on the site, so your calendar and your thoughts can live in the same cover.
Charms clip on, and there are more than 20 to pick from, from a little love letter to a strawberry to a turtle. Pick one that feels like you, or change it with the seasons.
The Momento Fountain Pen and a 5-pack of ink refills are on the site, and every insert is fountain pen friendly. "No bleeding with my fountain pen," one reviewer wrote.

You're someone who keeps the things that matter. Start with the cover and one line about today, then add the rest whenever you want.
The complete starter kit. Your leather cover in the size and color you pick, two 76-page Daolin inserts (one lined, one blank), an organizer insert for cards, stamps, photos, or loose notes, and a linen travel bag. Restock Event adds a complimentary charm. Everything you need to start writing on day one.
A Moleskine is a notebook. You fill it, finish it, buy another. A Midori is a traveler's notebook system designed around buying inserts separately. Momento is the refillable cover plus a complete starter kit in one box, with US shipping and a lifetime warranty. Same cover, new pages, forever.
Pocket if you carry it daily and write in shorter sessions. Back pocket, jacket, small purse. Classic if you sit down to write. Letters, longer entries, sketching, planning. Pocket fits anywhere. Classic gives you room to breathe.
Pocket fits a back pocket, small purse, or jacket pocket. Classic is a bit larger than the size of a paperback and lives in a tote or purse.
Each insert has 76 pages of smooth, high-quality Daolin paper. It is fountain-pen friendly with minimal bleed-through and feathering, so it handles everything from a pencil or gel pen to a wet fountain nib beautifully.
Slide the used insert out, slide a new one in. Refills start at $12, about 76 pages each. Most customers set them on a 3-month cadence and stop thinking about it. Skip, pause, change cadence, or cancel from your account anytime. No phone calls, no retention scripts.
Binding failure, cover failure, and hardware like the grommets. If something structural breaks, we replace it for free immediately, no shipping fee.
