I've been struggling the past couple weeks to decide on the style of notebook cover I wanted for my junior Circa (that will also be my planner as soon as July rolls around and I can use the planner pages I ordered from Levenger). Although I loved the Circa covers by Renaissance Art, I needed something a bit simpler that would slip in and out of my handbag easily without the closure of it catching on the bag opening, and not take up too much room. Since a pen loop or specific pocket configuration was not a priority for me, I decided on one of their custom book covers and just got it today... perfect. The black leather I ordered is beautiful and substantial, plenty sturdy enough to write on if I'm holding the planner in my hands and writing on the go. As with everything else I've ordered from these folks, I'm VERY pleased!
