Jumping on the booming trend of all that is cottage core, I decided to review Leela Journals. These have been very popular in recent years because of their totally original and fun/cute handmade covers incorporating all that is cosy, cuddly, soft and fluffy!

This page is for the 120gsm version, which comes in a range of sizes and covers, but I purchased the A5 “Brown Sweater” cover. Check the Leela Journals website for more information.
I’ve done a separate entry for the 160gsm version, which is also available in a range of sizes and covers.

My in-depth review video looks at the construction of the journal, the quality of the paper, interesting information about the company including their sustainability policy, and includes a pen test of a full range of pens and watercolour paints. See my pen test page for an explanation of each test.
