New TRAVELER'S Notebook Olive Leather Releases: Five Additions Worth Knowing About

Introduction

TRAVELER’S COMPANY builds stationery with a nostalgic character, and its most popular product, the TRAVELER’S notebook, is a minimalist leather cover that you customize with your choice of refills. It comes in two sizes, regular and passport, and both fit comfortably in one hand so you can write on the go, whether you are at a local coffee shop or heading somewhere far more tropical.

The lineup recently gained several new additions: an olive leather starter kit, a matching pen holder, two creative refills, and a repair kit. Here is what each one offers and who it suits best.

TRAVELER’S Notebook Olive Leather Starter Kit

First released in 2017 as a special edition, the olive TRAVELER’S notebook is back as a standard cover color. Each cover is handmade, so no two are alike, and the natural texture and color variation give every notebook its own identity.

With use, the leather develops a patina from hand oils and everyday wear, becoming glossier and gaining the distinctive character that makes the notebook feel truly yours. The starter kits come in both regular and passport sizes, and each includes the leather cover, a cotton carrying case, a blank notebook refill, and a spare elastic closure in contrasting teal.

TRAVELER’S Notebook Olive Pen Holder

The pen holder clips onto the notebook cover so your favorite pen stays at your fingertips, which is a genuinely useful addition for anyone who writes on the move. Each leather loop is made to match the corresponding color in the TRAVELER’S notebook lineup, and the newest edition pairs directly with the olive cover.

TRAVELER’S Notebook Accordion Fold Paper Refill

This refill is a great option for artists who want to try a new format. It consists of a single sheet of watercolor paper folded like an accordion. You can treat it like a standard notebook and fill in each page separately, or spread the sheet out and work across multiple panels at once.

One thing to note: this refill’s paper is thinner than the paper in the original watercolor paper refill. If you prefer thick paper that holds up to heavy applications of paint, the non-accordion version remains the better choice.

TRAVELER’S Notebook Sticker Release Paper Refill

This refill is filled with sheets of glossy paper that stickers will not permanently adhere to. That makes it handy for organizing leftover stickers from sticker sheets, or for adding strips of washi tape so you do not have to carry entire rolls.

Keep it in your TRAVELER’S notebook and you will always have decorative materials on hand.

TRAVELER’S Notebook Repair Kit

If the elastic bands in your TRAVELER’S notebook become damaged, they are replaceable. Each repair kit includes elastic bands for the spine or the elastic closure, a tin bead for the spine, and two bookmarks. You can choose between muted and bright colorways to match your style.

Three Ways to Use a TRAVELER’S Notebook

You do not need to be a frequent flyer to enjoy a TRAVELER’S notebook. All standard refills use Midori MD Paper, a high quality paper that pairs well with gel pens, markers, and even fountain pens.

As a journal, it works as a daily companion. Keep it in your purse or backpack and it becomes easier to write things down as they happen. Because you can add multiple refills, you can mix inserts and assign themes: one for daily events, a second for reviews of movies or tasty desserts. A Pilot FriXion star stamp adds quick star ratings to those reviews.

As a planner, the TRAVELER’S notebook makes it easy to organize daily to-dos. Use one planner for work events and another for personal scheduling, choosing from daily, weekly, or monthly formats. Most are undated, though dated options are available, and flagging important tasks with Kanmido Coco Fusen sticky notes, whose holders have adhesive backings, keeps them close at hand.

As a sketchbook, it is a portable favorite among artists. Several paper varieties are available: the craft paper refill works for pen and ink drawings on toned paper, while the sketch paper and watercolor paper refills suit more standard art use. Add a compact watercolor kit like the Sakura Koi Field Sketch Set and you can make quick sketches anywhere.

Conclusion

The new olive releases give the TRAVELER’S notebook system a cohesive refresh: a handmade leather cover that patinas beautifully, a matching pen holder, and refills that serve both creative and practical habits. Pair the starter kit with the pen holder if you write daily, add the accordion or sticker release refills if you lean artistic, and keep a repair kit around to extend the life of a cover you will use for years.
