It is pretty much exactly one year ago that I had introduced the then new stationery brand Ateliers Phileas with a review of their first product, the A5 leather notebook cover called Yokohama.
I have used that A5 cover, and A5 notebooks, for work for quite a while. At some point, finding the A5 size somewhat bulky, I was really curious to see if an A6 size would work for me – as well as how the Yokohama, which had just been released in an A6 size, would hold up.
I got one, loaded it with an A6 MD paper notebook, and gave it a spin for the last 10 months or so in daily use. Below comes the verdict.
Before we hop into the review, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Ateliers Phileas for supporting the review of this notebook cover. You can also buy the Yokohama notebook covers in their webshop (no affiliate – just a friendly pointer).
The video is, as always, preceded by some quick facts. Again, I hope the review is helpful and that you enjoy watching it!
