Verified buyerThe size is the whole decision
The Pocket is about 4 by 7 inches. Coat pocket, back pocket, any handbag, the side pouch of a rucksack.
Bigger notebooks get left at home, and a notebook at home is not a notebook. It is a nice object on a desk.
A leather journal notebook you will actually carry
A notebook only works if it is on you when the thought arrives. This one is about 4 by 7 inches, holds three inserts, and is built to live in a bag rather than on a shelf.
Built for a bag, not a shelf
Premium leather, designed in Los Angeles, with an elastic closure that holds it shut so loose pages and a tucked in receipt stay put.
A linen travel bag comes with it to keep grit off the cover, and the lifetime warranty covers the binding and hardware if anything structural gives out.
Three notebooks in one cover
Up to three inserts sit on elastic cords inside. Daily thoughts in one, work notes in another, blank pages for lists and tickets in the third.
You carry one object and stop losing the right book at the wrong moment.
When it fills, it does not end
Slide the full insert off, slide a new one on. Refills start at $12 for about 76 pages.
So the notebook in your bag next year is this one, not its replacement.
Paper worth writing on
Lined and blank inserts come in the box, plus an organizer insert for cards, stamps and receipts.
The organizer is the one people do not expect to use and then use constantly.
There is a desk size too
If it turns out you write longer than you thought, the Classic gives you the room and takes inserts from the same family.
Plenty of people end up running both, one for out and one for home.
100 days to find out
Easy 100-day returns. Carry it, fill some of it, forget about it in a bag for a week, and then decide.
Lifetime warranty on the binding, the cover and the hardware.

Is it small enough to carry daily?

How many notebooks does it replace?

About 76 pages per insert, smooth and fountain pen friendly with minimal bleed through. Lined and blank both come in the box.

Is there a bigger version?
The Classic is the desk size, for longer entries, and takes inserts from the same family.

What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Binding failure, cover failure, and hardware like the grommets. If something structural breaks, we replace it for free immediately, no shipping fee.
Does it close securely in a bag?

Why Momento sticks when everything else gets abandoned.
Most of us have three of these already. Most of us stopped using all three within a month.
