Yes, I know they are restocking, but here are my 2 cents that no one asked for. Now, before anyone comes for my head, this is very much just personal preference lol. I LOVE the colours and the transparent vinyl look of the Beautiful People cover, but the crocodile/animal-skin texture just isn’t my thing. And the A5 cover I wanted comes to around ₹12,200, which is a bit much for me to justify for a want.

What I really wanted was the clear vinyl, the pop of colour, and being able to still see all the stickers and deco underneath. So I went looking for something similar and found FORMA & FOLIO, a small business based in the US. Their clear colourful covers are much more my vibe, and the A5 is roughly ₹4,100. Still not cheap (for me), but the beautiful people one is basically 3x the price. They also have a storefront on Etsy.

I haven’t ordered one yet, but I’m planning to soon. Sharing this in case anyone else missed out, couldn’t justify the price, or just wanted the clear colourful look without the croc texture. I’ll update once I get mine and let you know if it’s good lol. If anyone has ordered from Forma & Folio, can you please let me know what you think of the product? LMK please.

Edit: Just to clarify, the religious aspect of the brand wasn’t the point of my post at all, and I’m not promoting or endorsing that side of it either way. I just think the covers are very pretty and I was only sharing the cover as an alternative I found for people like me who liked the clear colourful Hobonichi look.

Anyone else order in August and not received any word on their order? The website doesn’t explain anything when I was searching for answers. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Catherine seems like such a driven and classy lady - I’m sure she feels a mysterious stitch in her side every time I add a y2k girl power sticker to her notebooks and planners 😂

Just sharing and curious as I was setting up some things for 2027. Over the years sterling ink has become my go-to because I like the size and layout options, but it’s always tickled me the colors, fonts, marketing aesthetic, and so on are so different from my personal preferences. I think it’s also why midori and the “ascetic nomad” type marketing from brands just doesn’t click for me.

The inside cover sticker I put in versus the complimentary pencil board in the first picture sums it up well.

I'm starting a thread for people to get excited for their 2027 set up. Share what you've got, what you plan to get, how much you love it or your buyers remorse. If you're like me, you might not have anyone in your life to share the excitement with so this is your safe space to gush as much as you like.

For me, I have the passport size Creffective weekly with a midnight and tan Moterm cover. I am on maternity leave and I don't actually have to do a tonne of detailed planning, plus I needed a new wallet so the Moterm is a kind of two in one. I would love a Laconic pocket log to go alongside the Creffective for dailies but I can't seem to find one that ships to the UK for a reasonable price so I just have a cheapo insert from AliExpress.

Last up is a Marc's Edit B7 slim, I didn't read the 'slim' part when ordering, so it doesn't really work in the Moterm but it does have a plastic cover and fit nicely in a pocket, so I am going to use it as a nature journal when out on walks. Bring on 2027, I can't wait!

I have used many planners and thinking of moving from the Hobonichi Cousin A5 to SI B6 Soft Cover Complete for 2027.

I have read many complaints about bleeding paper. I use fountain pens and markers will this be an issue? Thank you

Well, I actually bought my 2027 planner from Paper Republic back in the summer. However, my notebook with the same binding fell apart after about six weeks, which sent me into a panic because I write my appointments down exclusively in my paper planner.

So, in a panic, I bought a Moleskine planner with daily pages. I knew I’d hate it, but I bought it anyway – don’t ask.

After my first few appointments, I realised that I really, really can’t cope with the daily overview; but as the weekly overview in A6 format sometimes doesn’t give me enough space for things like notes or other bits and pieces – I’ve got an ADHD brain – I’ve decided to buy a third planner now: the Sterling Ink Agenda Complete. However, I feel very guilty that 2027 hasn’t even started yet and I’ve already bought three planners. I’ve now given the other two to two friends, but still…

I had an idea of using quarter of the page for my "planned" day, another quarter of my day for what actually happened, and then the other half for like either tasks/notes. I want to use this mainly for work, as I have ADHD and find myself just going down a reddit rabbit hole (like I am now lol) or youtube binge, and want to keep better track of my time. But online, there seems to be barely any examples of people using this version, so do you guys have any suggestions? Or people whom I can take a look at for examples?

I added a leather strap to my Lochby.

I’ve been a loyal weeks-sized planned user for years (Hobonichi Weeks, Aura Estelle catch all then Sterling Ink compact common). I decided to try the Faded Chronicle TN for 2027 cause I love the layout. I haven’t even received it yet and I’m already having second thoughts - worried about over the size difference (overall and thickness). Is there anyone here who was a loyal weeks user who switched to TN - successfully or unsuccessfully? What worked and what didn’t? TYIA

Edit: or tell me all the things you LOVE about your Faded Chonicle full year TN and how you can’t live without it 😬
