Shipping Details
This exclusive notebook companion allows you to collect saddle-stitch notebooks into a single, durable cover you can carry anywhere, and includes the option to personalise your new refillable notebook folio with a delicate, hand-pressed debossing.
This functional and treasured item is handcrafted from a buttery vegan leather in a selection of timeless colours. It’s fitted with a central elastic lace which can hold up to 4 x A5 notebooks and a secondary closure lace. As with any leather item, over time these covers will not only soften they will scuff and patina to reveal a natural beauty unique to each cover.
The addition of a custom monogram will elevate this item to a sentimental and thoughtful piece of stationery.
Custom soft PU Leather double layered (338 x 160 mm to fit A5)
Thread sewn trimming
Elastic closure fitted with silver end clasps
Single inner elastic designed to hold up to 4 x A5 saddle-stitch notebooks
The Trifold design can expand to hold up to 14 notebooks with the use of additional elastics (aka. 'jumper' or 'expansion' laces). Each jumper lace increases your capacity by 4 x notebooks.
Includes a calico storage bag

This is such a fun one! I am working on a degree in environmental science and wildlife biology, so I spend a lot of time outdoors recording stuff like this anyway. I have not seen any other websites have something like this in their line up of the hobby journals so what an awesome find. Thanks for making cool hobby options!
I love the color! I have so many notebooks already and it fits them all great. It’s very good quality too! I had to wait what felt like forever for it to get here (no fault of creator’s friend team) since for me it had to ship to the U.S. so just keep that in mind. Worth the wait though :)
Loving my future planner! It’s helping me keep track of my appointments and make sure I don’t double book myself!
I would love more free use pages instead of things like password trackers, but otherwise it’s fantastic!
Sooooo...the books for the cost, left much to be desired. The quality of cover and paper is bit underwhelming and coming from Traveler's planners, I am used to a bit more refined experience. With the costs being comparable, disappointment is an understatement.
Functionality, I can't say that this really supports my focus, goal settings, task delegation. Each day is different, which is cool...but what happens when 2-3 of the daily formats simply don't work for you. I've done this for a month. Unfortunately, I am already shopping for a new planner. Worst, to give this a full chance, means you're likely bumping up against or past the return window. Not sure what to do with 11 months of planners and a folio that is designed to fit these books. Le'sigh.
The folio seems a bit backwards and loose. Sliding the books in the using the instructions left my books focusing on right to left functionality. Once that was more or less settled, three notebooks in the folio still leaves too much room, making for shifting and unstable books.
It's simply not as tight as I would expect or want.
Beautiful notebooks. I am a counsellor and the Fast Brain Notebooks have been lovely to hand to clients I'm working with ADHD. They are very much appreciated.
Great layout that is flexible and easily personalised. A great way of planning my whole week so I can see it at once. The paper is a really good quality and I haven’t had any ink bleed through. I’m not sure about the new checklist pages at the back, they could have got a few more planner pages in there. I’ve been using this weekly planner for over and year and will continue to use them, they help me keep track of my life.
I’ve put two of your notebooks in it along with an A5 hard cover notebook and it all looks perfectly fine. Leather was right colour as ordered and very smooth. I look forward to many years of using them.
Maybe I didn't read all the print properly and got excited about the colour but I thought the folio would be leather and feel substantial like leather does. This didn't do it for me as I hate the smell of anything artificial.

Thank you Shelly, while our folios are made from vegan leather, we understand this may not be suited for you and wish for you to love you new order. Please follow our return policy via our website if you wish to have this returned xx
The Salty Plum is as gorgeous in person as it is in the pictures. No wonder you run out of it. The cover is very soft and the stitching around the edges gives it a professional and complete look. Even though its journey was long, it was worth the wait. I am enjoying my new journal and am very pleased with my choice. Thank you!
The quality of the folio was not quality material and the color did not look like the photos. It all felt cheaply made. I was disappointed that I spent that much money and time waiting for this item

Hi Jenna, we wish for you to love your new order and understand if your folio is not right for you. If you do wish to return this please follow our return policy via our website. Thank you x
Love the new Fast Brain Friend, have decided to alternate between old and new to keep it interesting. One thing I love is the word should has been removed from all the pages, it always made me feel guilty. Plus I cover the instructions once I have read them to make the pages for me more attractive. But 10 out of 10 for the new design.
Store owner replied:
Aww thank you for sharing! We hope you love your new set xx
Love the journal cover, a bit more of a blue pink than I was expecting but it’s soft leather and works absolutely perfectly with my large moleskine note books (6 of them!)
I love the blush colour - so pretty and fresh!
I just wish it was possible to get filofax organiser holes drilled in it. My attempts with the drill are nasty!
This is my second 26 week book, and it has been so very useful to my organisation. Thank you.
This weekly planner is just what I was looking for. Thin and light to carry around. A minimal schedule and lot of space for tasks and a little bit of notes. I didn’t expect to use the meal tracker/planner but that’s been useful too.
Very nice quality and it's very soft to the touch. Exactly what I wanted!
The customer service is also top tier - they were nice enough to give me a partial refund of an order that was stolen. I would love it if they extended the list of countries they ship to so that I can buy more stuff and have them delivered here.
