Pages are thick so my ink pens don’t bleed through. Paper is thick without being too stiff - barely any bleed-through even with felt pens. Craftsmanship is great and the pages are the perfect thickness.

This isn’t an issue but if you’re looking to use color, it makes them all a bit warmer. The different colors and animals on the covers are the cherry on top! These notebooks are awesome.

These are perfect for bullet journaling or whatever you want to do with them. Both are exultant journals. I prefer the texture of the dingbat covers compared to the leuchtturm smooth ones.

The journal i recieved could not be 100 gsm. The dot alignment is also an issue vertically from page to sometimes the perforations are aligned on a dot, sometimes they are several millimeters off & it is glaringly obvious.

The strap that holds the notebook closed is so much looser than the one with the black and grey. It's attached with weak glue. The elastic band is tight.

Quality is noticeably different, much less. Cover is not stitched, just cheaply glued. The only part reflective of the cost is the hard cover.
