I'm SOOOOOO delighted and pleased with this custom cover for my journal. Thank you SO much for making it amazing and beautiful.
I'm partial to deep red colors and peppled leather and this was the best of both. I have 3 notebooks inserted and could easily fit more. It's soft and has plenty of pockets. My boyfriend is putting it to great use.
This is my first Sidekick and an absolutely gorgeous cover and leather. The red is darker than the color depicts with beautiful grain. It's soft to the touch with just enough structure to keep it from collapsing around inserts, which I love! The workmanship is A+++ but the one thing I'd change is to not have the CS logo front and center. It's a little distracting, but I'd purchase another Sidekick any time and can't wait for CS to introduce more colors!
Très mignon le nano traveler’s notebook. Très bonne qualité.
I was pleasantly surprised. Loved everything - especially the colors. I will continue to be a repeater buyer - never disappointed.
The color is gorgeous- deep, glossy, with lots of variation. The white stitching looks great on that leather!
I love the look of it and really soft. I bit thick but it will still get the job done. I want the other color too.
I was looking forward to this purchase, but the entire experience was unfortunately deeply disappointing due to significant issues with the ordering process and product fulfillment.
Product Discrepancy: The item I received had a pronounced, dark texture that was a stark contrast to the beautiful, smooth version featured as the primary product photo on the website. The expectation set by the featured image was completely unmet.
Critical Process Flaw: This discrepancy is a direct result of the company's inadequate ordering system. There are no available options (such as a drop-down menu or comment box) at checkout to select the desired texture. Requiring customers to separately contact the shop to specify a critical aesthetic detail like this is a severe operational flaw and, frankly, is not how modern e-commerce should function. If the preferred smooth version is used as the representative image, it must be the default item shipped; otherwise, the default texture must be clearly stated in the product details.
I decided to forego the hassle of a return or exchange and will manage the item myself. I sincerely hope the company recognizes how significantly flawed this process is and makes immediate revisions to prevent future frustrating incidents for its customers.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. The leather you received has a naturally deep, textured grain—an appearance many of our customers specifically seek out—but I understand that you were hoping for a smoother finish like the one shown in the main product photo.
Each hide we use is full-grain and uniquely patterned, which means variation is part of what makes every piece one of a kind. I’d be happy to exchange your item for a smoother version that better fits your preference.
Your feedback about the ordering process is appreciated. We’re already working on updates that will make texture preferences easier to communicate at checkout.
Warm regards,
Jennifer
External spines, give the notebook cover more character and square off the spine. It is one of my favorite customization features.
it was the last day to purchase the Sunset Boulevard leather before it was taken off the market. As soon as I got up that morning, I bought it. The leather is fantastic and I customized it to my liking. I was not disappointed! This leather cover will get used over and over. Thank you so much.Chic Sparrow.
Oh my it is everything I thought it would be!!! I absolutely love Chic Sparrows quality and design. I ordered a passport just to see if it was what I really wanted and it is!!!! I will definitely be getting more sizes!
Gorgeous smooth shiny leather that marks up nicely and ages beautifully. Shows it's journey with you. Love it so much that I wanted to have a couple with my nickname on it.
