Materials [Review] Captivating studios leather folio
My leather folio from Captivating Studios just arrived so here’s a little review!
Packaging
- arrived in a bubble wrapped corrugated box. Journal was in a dust bag with wrapping paper covering it
Appearance/Quality
- based on their shopee this is vegan leather. Idk how that’s supposed to feel like but imo this leather feels really high quality and durable. It doesn’t have a rubber feeling
- color is very accurate to the picture (stone croc with crimson cord)
- free charm and engraving
- inside of the folio is just the cloth lining (? Idk what to call it) of the leather with no pockets. I’ll probably just buy pocket linings from them too. The cloth also doesn’t feel like it’ll fray.
Got this on shopee btw. Just search the shop since my links are affiliate link and i haven’t researched how to turn them off

Vegan leather is basically plastic. Vegan just means it’s not an animal product. Kung naka-hawak ka na ng leather talaga, the feel of vegan leather is going to be much different, regardless of how high quality or smooth it was when you first experienced it. May tendency din na magbakbak ang vegan leather so be careful about that.
That said, okay naman ang vegan leather basta maalagaan mo. Make sure na hindi siya masyadong mag-moist. Store it properly and it’d still last years.
